Assorted Haiku

Haiku #2511
 
Tourists wait in line
to enter Machu Picchu.
Oh, look! A high queue.

Haiku #564127
 
how dare you suggest
I have a short attention
spanish omelette
 
Limeraiku
 
There once was a young
limerick from Kew who turned
into a haiku.

The Constraints of Haiku
 
Tied up all night with
a haiku dominatrix
and her three-line whip.
 
Shakespearean Haiku
 
Shall I compare thee
To a summer’s day? Alright –
Thou art pretty hot.
 
How to Write a Haiku
 
The last line should flow
seamlessly from the first two –
hippopotamus.

It’s International Haiku Poetry Day today apparently so here are a few haiku with which to start the day.

A man says "fuck it. I wanna be serialized. I'm tired of living comic to comic. I want to experience more. I don't want my eternally reviving body to be used for momentary vignettes. I want to be somebody." Another man says "Oh Gary, I don't think it works like that. We are doomed to nothingness after the next panel." Gary shakes his fists toward the heavens and shouts "NO! I refuse! My name is Gary! I deserve more life!"

My latest video "CONSPIRACY" now has full English captions lovingly handcrafted by an old Italian carpenter instead of the shitty AI ones.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Kanye West is now using Autism as a defence, exactly like Elon Musk.

There is no Autism here, just psychopaths who are so rich they think they can do whatever they want, then trot out this excuse to cover it up.

Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind.

Goes well with ‘thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.

Image description: This poem is presented in the form an excel spreadsheet, with words in each cell. The line ‘Our cells shall merge themselves together’ is in a longer merged cell, and there are filter arrows on the line ‘Remove this filter from my heart’.
 
Love Excels
 
Let's spread ourselves on sheets of love,
and turn our data into poetry.
Our cells shall merge themselves together                                                                    
as you wrap your text around me.                                                      
                                                                          
Our sum is greater than our parts,
let's crunch our figures without compunction.
Remove this filter from my heart,
you give me form and function.
                                                                          
We shall frolic among the formulae,
pivot our tables now and often.
I will total all your rows
and you can add my column.

Some bros in an SUV ride by and shout at a passer-by "your fucking gay, man" and "GAAAAAY." As they speed off into the distance, the accosted man waves to them, crying tears of joy. He says "thank you boys, you've helped me come to terms with my sexuality!" The SUV bros review a list that says "closeted list: Jim Weeks, Lenny Salt, Ed Mount." One asks "OK, who's next on the list?" They drive past another pedestrian and shout "You're Trans!" and "Admit you're Trans, idiot!"

On ‘;..p’[[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’
 
Upon returning to my desk,
having left it temporarily in search of biscuits,
I discovered my cat had written a poem
on my laptop.

It was called ‘;..p’[[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’
and constituted one of her more difficult pieces,
but it was the kind of poem
which rewarded repeat reading.
 
I was struck by its experimental structure,
the absence of line breaks;
indeed, not one single space between any
of the poem’s 10,000 or so characters.
 
One of the work’s central motifs –
‘jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk’ –
was, by turns, reassuring and unsettling,
while the symbolism of ‘###################’,
 
hinted at our 21st century preoccupation with social media.
And who could not be moved by that devastating final line,
its message of hope piercing our hearts like an arrow:
‘`````````5555=======================’.
