the reason we are all here
except for a few

how many dudes you
know got the skills to go and
rock a show like this

Aaaahahaha! Love it! I paraphrased prodigy once, to similar effect -

You're no good for me
I don't need anybody
That's no good for me

work needs to be done
surely it can be put off
fingers hitting keys

Today my hair shines
But I had nowhere to go
Good hair day at home

Dammit.

I suck at guitar
But there's something cool about
Playing just for me

Windows NT crashed
I am the blue screen of death
no one hears your screams

Yesterday it worked
Today it no longer does
windows is like that

A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a mere book end

I remember those ones. My favourite was:

wind catches lily
scatt'ring petals to the wind:
segmentation fault

at dusk I stare at
sunset on a darkened sea
and wish to share it

that's my own one so don't steal it.

ooohhh Monkey - that is so sweet!!

*tear*

How doese haiku work again? Tell me so i can write one too.

5 syllables,
7 syllables
5syllables,

there you go mr greebo!

English haiku is three lines -
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables

I type speedily
Monkey puzzle's faster still
So he gets there first.

nice work young heather
your words are so eloquent
and gave me a laugh

that is one form.
there are other schools of thought that claim there is no format.
the general consensus is though that the last sentence should be detached from the first
two but still make some sort of sense.

chained by 5 7 5
like Andromeda
Stefan slays the monster

I am so tired
Because of the cold I have
I want to go home

But then I complain
Its because of the damn rain
I need a coffee

spring sun is welcome
but not the glare on my screen
i must be a nerd

the glare makes you squint
you should pull your curtains down
or you will go blind

fuck fucking fucker, shit fuck fucking fuckity fuck, fuckingest fuckfest

i'm a valley girl
the devil looks in my pants
to find lena o

Today my fuckwit co-worker would not shut up about his computer fan making too much noise. He kept banging on the desk to try and make it stop. I told him to shut the fuck up and accept it, and then I wrote a haiku to help him be more zen about it.

A divine wind blows;
It is the entelechy
Of all fans to hum.

Shutting the fuck up
oxymoronic Zen master
hum your own manta

Ahhhhh, the sweet hum of the fan. I feel sleepy just thinking about it.

Aka picks a fight.
"You talking to me, bi-atch?"
Velocity asks.

I keep the fan on
Even in the cold winter.
It puts me to sleep.

Battle lines are draw
words twisting in open wounds
damn the semantics

Dare to challenge me?
Prepare yourself for certain
Annihilation!

a challenge is made
two warriors gather arms
haiku to the death!

multisyllabic?
intimidated never!
word by word I win

Mighty Warrior,
What makes you so brave and strong?
It's the bubble bath.

The Warrior then
Dons her semantic armor.
Soon her foe will fall.

You'll succumb to the
Inevitability
Of your destruction.

MSN flashing
cunning plan to distract me
nearly works.. not

Glinting blade slashes
Super ninja attack mode
Gone before you fall.

mummy daddy stop
it is christmas once again
i have no turkey

Haiku is for faggot thin and pale poets, u ppl should write epic war poems instead!

your blood calls to me
I'll slit your stomach open
and eat your liver

Some time ago now
An X-Files episode had
A liver eater.

Was that you Heather?

Surely it wasn't
I'm a nice girlie, I am...
Damnit, I've been sprung.

Questions arise from
Use of 'damn' and 'it' in one
Two m's or the n?

Well, it is just slang
so surely I can spell it
however I like?

Koe has arrived
To save the day again yo
While drinkin 40z

My name is MEMBER
I'm a rapper for JESUS
Not drummer for Zed

tclak is a star
he is in so many bands
all of them suck though

oh, what a scandal!
I saw Prozaco prancing
topless down K Rd!

I met Prozaco,
Once at Indigo, Welli
Show me your nipples

yes heather, so true
but it was for a good cause
airing my nipples

I rap for Jesus
His little bible stories
Fill you all with joy

jesus rocks don't mess
music is just a mans to
who will save your soul
