Haiku Explained With A Haiku 1:23 pm June 26, 2012 Chompsky Proud teacher Eric K Carr posted this photo of a haiku composed by one of his fourth grade students at Tolsen Elementary School. Any comments on this post not in haiku form will be deleted. buzzfeed
Oh, that is awesome
That kid deserves a medal
Good on ya Broadsheet!
I see no comment
In haiku form has arrived
Before I wrote this
Little Jack Horner
Sat in the corner because
He has a square arse.
Plus one for you, sir
Though one of what, exactly?
Never clear on that.
While a clever guy,
This student clearly deserves
A kick up the hole
Fair play to the chap
It isn’t easy to do
And get it so right.
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don’t make sense
Refrigerator
that is stupendous
really intelligent kid
teacher is so proud
To write a haiku
with seventeen syllables
is very diffi
I don’t (really) know
what a tracker mortgage is
I’m on the wrong page
So that’s a haiku?
Why didn’t I know that then?
What’s the point of them?
Clarity and wit
Encapsulating a thought
Like an epigram
Haiku. How strange
A means of posting comments
On the internet.
I walk across sand
And find myself blistering
In the hot, hot heat
Fair play, in fairness
To that little poet kid.
Ah here, go Broadsheet!
Meanwhile where is this
Defiant one you ordered
That looks like Ireland
A challenge set by
Moderating Overlords
Is easily beat
Bleedin’ Rapi(d) whah!
Dat der Haiku is deadly,
‘naul and anyways.
I love my broadsheet
it shows the best of reddit
now that is meta
Must post in Haiku?
This is Discrimination
against the stupid.
A haiku needs
seventeen syllables and
a nature reference
Oh, so something like
A tree in a wood with birds
or some other crap
The images must
Juxtapose but split. Two roads;
A divining rod.
I’m taking a dump
In the forest Neath the trees
I have no jacks roll
Not to be outdone,
I must make one as well yes?
but maybe I fail.
Defiant, he writes
On wall, in green and orange
Damn hipster student
To guy neath the trees
In forest, taking a dump.
How bout a dock leaf?
Where there are dock leaves
Nettles sprout aplenty too.
Bare bums should beware!
