| Banned Location: central USA | *smiles*... Peetster... i love it! mine are just sappy and more serious... certainly not "better" , "out league-ing" or anything of the sort... (out league-ing?? *laugh*, i have got to stop making up my own words). i am a serious amatuer... but am also stubborn as hell, and love trying to make it all fit within the rules... *snicker* thanks... and keep it coming! |

| Minion of the scaléd ones Location: Northeast Jesusland | OK, it breaks the personal pronouns rule, but this came to me at work one day: Man! This weed is Great! The last time I was this high I drooled on my shirt. My favorite Haiku has got to be Dennis Miller's, though: The Umbrella drinks The Master of Sassy jive Isaac rules the waves

| Tilted Location: Dingden, DE / Centennial, CO | I wrote this one a while ago Sun rises on Snow covered car So cold I just took the German lyrics from Tool's "Die Eier Von Satan" and made them into a quasi-haiku for this one. I know it ain't mine, but if you know German, it's kinda funny and stupid Eine halbe Tasse Staubzucker und keine Eier English translation: One half cup powdered sugar and no eggs See? No sense at all.

| King Knave Location: Lancaster | Haiku comes easy, in this lonely edge of town. Queens of the Stone Age blares raucous from the t.v. Ah, it's some repeat. Nature deviates for me. As I welcome rules I detest iron structure. but it feels so good. What? No -"Him Her I, Me You"? Begin to describe something outside of yourself.

| Inspired by the mind's eye. Location: Between the darkness and the light. | Here is one a Japanese friend of mine wrote about me.  Transliteration: a-me-ri-ka-ni mi-do-ri-me-wo-shi-ta ri-cha-a- do-zo Translation: In America There is a man who has green-colored eyes His name is Richard. While I can write poetry, I'm horrible at keeping track of syllibals so I'm lousy with haiku. Just as my friend can write haiku well, but she has difficulty with any poetry in English.
