Haiku U

[Tzara]

Waiting for Godot: Samuel Beckett

A couple of bums
just sitting around talking
and not saying much.

 

[Tzara]

Hamlet: William Shakespeare

It's rotten. Dad's dead,
and my uncle's humping Mom.

Should I be or not?

 

[Tzara]

The Interpretation of Dreams: Sigmund Freud

Life is just a dream—
one filled with snakes and vases.

Tell me about Mom.

 

[darkerdreamer]

True West by Sam Shepard

Momma ain't home, so
steal a toaster, or thirty.
Phone chord assassins.

They drink and they fish,
go to Pamplona, watch bulls.

"Why can't we?" she said.
"War wound," I said. "Oy," Cohn said.
Back to Harry's Bar.

Okay, I haven't read the thing <tongue in cheek> yet...but I'll have to say yours is better.

I suppose.

After he hit me,
Cohn cried on the bed. Princeton
teaches boxing well.

Ah, Missy, your example from the book or is it you? 'S better'n mine, 'cuz it emulates (parodies?) Papa's style.

As for reading? I'm just older. You'll get there.

The Waste Land: T.S. Eliot

Geez, April's cruel.
Waste and water; death, and fire.
"Nice" ain't in the cards.
