Haiku

[Voboy]

Start in third person,
But first is better. So? Change.
...fucking annoying.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

tread with much caution.
hidden in the final draft:
one third among firsts.

a beer in the woods
just chillin', minding its own
dreaming of honey

 

[Bamagan]

a beer in the woods
just chillin', minding its own
dreaming of honey

It sounds like your beer
has identity issues,
wishes it were mead.

Interesting page about the etymology of medved (honey-eater) and ber for the bear here.

Doubly ironic, given that this whole string of mirthful verse was sprung from an argument about the relative safety levels of sylvan encounters. I guess the ancestors who were afraid of the name have cast their vote in our linguistic heritage. Although we do use a lot of euphemisms for men in modern language...

Words as punji sticks:
Traps for the unwary eye.
Stakes, both high and low.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Tall tan young lovely
The girl from Ipanema
She looks straight ahead (yes, she knows you're staring)

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

shuck me for my pearl
when the moon pulls the tide down
I'm easy when wet.

 

[Bamagan]

Pearls are nice and all
But edible they are not
Don't neglect the clam!

 

[AlinaX]

mmm, frothy latte...
I wonder what people are -
oh

 

[Bamagan]

Flitting dragonflies
Glinting rainbows in the sun
Like living jewels

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Honey sweet nectar
Is what my tongue is made for
Buzz I'm a bee buzz

 

[onehitwanda]

Honey sweet nectar
Is what my tongue is made for
Buzz I'm a bee buzz

I needed that laugh.

A kitten dances,
voices high-pitched "please, pick me."
Eighteen years of love.

 

[Bamagan]

Lonely, scrawny waif...
My help came too late for you.
Kittens should be round...

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Yeah I'm not a cat.
I don't go meow. I'm a cow,
Bitch, I go Moo-oo!

- Doja Cat, interpreted in Haiku

 

[Voboy]

Flowing forms, sprinting;
Two matched forces collided.
Albania drew.

 

[Voboy]

Heat-dome. A new term.
Swampy malaise descending,
Balls sticking to legs.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Lick her naked sole.
Clean off all the grime and sweat.
Tickle her big toe.

 

[Voboy]

The kind from Dover?
Or "alone?" That sort of sole?
Sole singers. Toe taps.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

It beats against dirt.
tail-swishes the arctic sea.
and belts songs out loud.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

My disc man and I
Jeff Buckley croons in my ears
Goodbye lilac wine

 

[Voboy]

Late-century days...
We had no clue they'd herald
An ugly new age.

 

[Bamagan]

Few people will heed
The prophets of doom and dread.
They lose, regardless.

 

[Bamagan]

Sticky Southern heat...
Stay inside from ten A.M.
to November first
