On June 10, 2007, we wrote short-ku (also known as faux-ku) -- for which the syllablic pattern of haiku changed to 4-2-4. And let me tell you, those who played along acquitted themselves beautifully!
In my inner
Self lies
Dichotomy.
-Serena Joy
You goddamn deck,
just a
teetering pile.
Humid summer:
folks wilt,
flowers flourish.
Pressure washer,
I love
and hate you, too.
Thirty eight is
awkward;
almost forty.
Beautiful boys
run big,
leap high, yell loud.
-ThatGreenyFlower
This new form should
Be Called
KickInMyAss.
-Charles
I hold your hand,
You smile.
My eyes smile back.
-Trée
Serena Joy
Always
Knocks My Socks Off!!
-G-man
I hate Haiku
I do
Haiku sucks - eww.
-Roxan
How can they suck
so much?
Damn Orioles.
-tfg
Silent whispers
touch me
repeatedly.
-Top Cat
I like Faux-Ku.
Good name
For short haikus.
Because faux-kus
Don't try
To rhyme purple.
And not silver,
orange,
Or rhyme at all.
-Hale McKay
About Me
- Serena
- You can call me "Serena" or just SJ. If you call me anything else, I'll hear about it. Believe it. I write every now and then and I ... read. I love a good mystery/thriller. If it has me up late, double-checking the locks on the doors, it's hit the mark. I want... Well, I'll let you know when I know. I ADORE comments, by the way (hint-hint).

faux ku sounds cool. So staccato yet so laden..
I like it, too, Mona. The haikus were fun to do -- as well as the limericks and butchering Shakespeare. Eventually, I'll have them all featured here.
