A while back someone started a haiku thread at a baseball forum I used to post at. It turned out to be a lot of fun!

Just to refresh your memory the Japanese Haiku form goes like this:

first line - 5 syllables
second line - 7 syllables
third line - 5 syllables

I'll start.

I can't believe it
Dirty Mind is twenty-three
Keep on rockin' Prince

The homeboy in heels
Of 1993 P
Is hilarity.

After a long wait
I bought the new album NEWS
What a waste of cash!

No - scratch that - I actually like news :

After a long wait
I bought the new album NEWS
Still enjoying it.


Writing a poem
in seventeen syllables
Is very diffic.

Let me tell you this
I know a man named Larry Graham
His ass Prince does kiss

oh man...i had made a haiku out of a few lyrix from the prince album but i forgot how it went!!

u r shorty fine
but i don't understand u
what the fuck is it?

And Burns wept.

o-tay, since i've forgotten my initial haiku i'ma do another one...check it:

it gets me so hot
when we're dancing close and slow
but you were untrue

Eyeliner and heels
Screams that make my hair stand up
I am lost in bliss.

In praise of the Prince
I could write haiku's for days
But I don't have time

I only want to
See you underneath the Pur
Ple Rain, Purple Rain.

Burns may be weeping
But if Prince sees these he'll be
Foaming at the mouth

Dirty mind describes
An attitude so raw that
It defies logic


okay that one was a little dumb. I'll give it a rest for a bit.

who cares if they're dumb
We just wanna have some fun
So keep them coming

Prince is that Pi- imp
Over priced albums so,
I have to Ski- imp.

Now that was funny!

Please play by the rules
I'ts seven syllables not five
In the second line

I like this so much
I think I'll talk in haiku's
From this day forward

But if the time comes
When I want to say SuperFunkyCaliFragiSexy
Then I will be stumped
Truly

Black bikini briefs
Thigh high legwarmers and heels
Now it's fancy suits

Where is the funk that
we all know and love so well
from a man named Prince

Happy Prince fans play
On internet fan websites
til Londell arrives

I prefer the funny haiku's having a swipe at Microsoft:


Your file was so big.
It might be very useful
but now it is gone.

The Web site you seek
cannot be located, but
countless more exist.

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

Program aborting:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

First snow, then silence.
This thousand-dollar screen dies
so beautifully.

With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.

Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.

A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

Having been erased,
the document you're seeking
must now be retyped.

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

Windows has booted.
A little multitasking.
Now Blue Screen Of Death.

I hear no noises.
Sound card incompatible.
Need driver update.

We're very sorry.
Network is not responding.
Try again later.

It keeps on growing,
Slows memory accesses:
My great big swap file.

It changes settings.
It tries to auto-update.
It's Windows XP.

It comes with browser
Called "Internet Explorer" -
High court injunction.

You typing letter?
I can help you if you like.
Click here to begin.

AOL free trial.
Delete after thirty days.
It's now been two years.

Red Hat Linux 9.
New add-ons so now I must
Recompile kernel.

A brand new iMac
With synthesized woman's voice.
She says, "Not my fault."

Introduced to dogma
It is the warped translation
Larry we will thank

--

A joyous affair
Perfection to our ears
I speak of Parade

--

The lowest point came
Expelled from Prince's anus
You know that it's 'Rave'.

--

He came with the NEWS
I fell into a slumber
Now we call it SNOOZE

So, Larry Graham.
You want to go to Heaven?
Walk under a bus!
