Sorry for my rant
But it couldn't fit inside
A haiku, OK?

To be fair, the Japanese don't necessarily count their haiku by the syllable, but by a somewhat similar linguistic element. As such, the English version of the haiku is sometimes misaligned. I'd look into this more to back up what I'm saying, but I'm too lazy to do so, and it doesn't really matter anyway because the English haiku is indeed 5-7-5.

That's actually
really interesting. Seems
logical to me.

I'm not sure how to
count syllables using the
characters they use.

Besides, I wrote that
slew of haikus for fun, for
creativity.

I'm not really one
of those Grammar Nazis. I
just filled the role there.

Excuse my 6-day
absence. I fear my passion
for haikus will wane.

Also, enough trying
to make up for it with these
haiku vomit-posts.

I'M A MESS!

I Love my Love

Redundant title,
but I see why it's Dr.
M's favorite work.

The Record

Let the record show...
that, at least for Boston, that's
a shit-ton of snow.

see for yourself

rock bottom haiku

Don't hate rock bottom
Tunneling under that shit
makes crawling back nice

The Odyssey

It's a feat greater
than all the others: spelling
"Odyssey" rightly.

This is a Thing Now

For it came to light
by the interwebs. It was
a thing before, though.

The First College Acceptances Roll In

It's all so clear now -
my power lies in these words!!!
Now back to homework...

Four for Four

...and then cockiness
was the downfall of man, so
let tears come, child.

The Haiku to Mess with your Mind

If round quarters are
cut from square sheets, where is the
remainder? Nickels?

The Day of 4 Haikus

There have been days of
three, five, and others. Might as
well hit the cycle.

The Only One Wrong

Forever I will
be haunted as my mind warns:
don't rise up too soon.

Take me to the End

...and let the last note
bleed out like a flesh wound. Time
to go to bed now.

Winding Down

In the twilight zone.
The rush of day yields to the
solitude of night.

The Ambush

It comes for your ears
first, then works its way in. You
don't know what hit you.

Post 500 is Mine...

All lead up to this
moment. 5 a.m. starts yield
wholesome finishes.

Dark Thoughts

My Psychology
textbook speaks its mind, and thus
mine, like hares from hats.

Bumtrinket

I learn slang words from
the 1930s. Too bad
there's no use for them.

Anne and Tyrone

I convinced myself
I craved immaturity.
How it backfired!

For Jacksfilms

Writing haikus is
like video games for me.
I swear I'm not old...

Baltimore, Maryland

To judge a city
by its airport. I see the
crab cakes. When in Rome...

appreciate it.

After six long years
Of contributing nothing
Time to do more stuff

The Big Release

It's only when you
are too close that I want you
still further away.

So It Seems..

What comes between us
separating life and dreams
..are like sweaty sheets

..zzZZZzz..

Eye of the Storm

Excuse this long, grim
hiatus. Time rages on.
I'm lost in the eye.

Longing

I ache for summer
rains, longer days. An excuse
to play here, in ways.

Wedding Cake

The bride and the groom
are made of chocolate too.
Who has seen the dog?

Imminent

More free time is my
imminent boon. My fourteen
haikus will come soon.

Suffering greatly
Each and every passing while
Time to end my life

Well, that one was dark.
Cute smile is ironic.

there's beer in heaven.

Middle of the night
Do not sleep but write some more
Haikus for stranger

Flying through the skies
With angels: happy at last
And free forever ^_^

This is the only
debt as a connection brews.
Strangers turn to friends.
