haiku primer (a structural performative, followed by a narrative series)

Haiku Title Here

five syllables here
seven syllables right here
five syllables here

*****

1. The Reiver

Michael Moore, rhino-
hipped cad that he is, stole
my chili-cheese dog.

*****

2. The Reiver, cont.

His mouth caked in
cheese, Michael Moore smiled at the
Reagan funeral.

*****

3. Synchronicity

A fist in his pants,
Ted Rall smiled too, his hatred
relieved with quick jerks.

    Man, that third one is really fucking good.

  2. Dinah-Moe-Hum says:

    No, that third one is inspired art.

  3. Joe says:

    I see you’re finally getting to the quality stuff.

  4. Jeff G says:

    You hurt my feelings, Joe.

  5. Joe says:

    Oh, yeah, pretend you don’t know it’s all quality stuff, Jeff. Ignore the quality part, and focus on the finally thing, just ‘cause it’s in italics. tongue laugh We love it when you do that humble thing.

    And hey, way to make me look like a real dick just for trying to compliment your work. Thanks, buddy. Just lemme know when I can return the favor, OK ? ‘Cause now I feel really bad that I hurt your feelings, so I want to help you get back to your happy place. grin

    Just got back from foodshopping with the wife and little boy.  Bought some candybars from the Lakewood Tigers little league team, who had a fundraising table set up outside the store.  I told them I’d buy one candybar, and one additional for every member of the Bad News Bears they could name (they came close on several, so I bought three).  They were happy and thankful, I had fun, the mom and dad who were helping out were having a blast cursing themselves for not being able to remember any names (“uh, is Niedermyer one of ‘em?”), my wife was cracking up, and my son was squealing in the back seat.

    Which is all just a lengthily anecdotal way of saying I’m back in my happy place.  Your treachery notwithstanding.

    Fast company here. I rarely keep up. Is the Synchronicity title an allusion to two divergent orders of ‘protein-wisdom’?

    4. All the news that’s fit to print

    Abu Ghraib, Abu

    Ghraib, Abu Ghraib, Abu Ghraib,

    Abu Ghraib, Abu.

    Haikus for English:

    Two words

    Then three words

    Lastly, two.

    Michael Moore

    Gargantuan pontificating ass

    Also fat.

    Whatever works.

  10. Mamamontezz says:

    Ooo.  I like the 2-3-2 style:

    Ted Rall,

    Self-felching spoiled asshat

    fools none.

    Michael Moore

    considers local zoos

    a buffet.

    Cokie Roberts

    seems to think

    we’ve forgotten.

    Dan Rather

    fool none with

    crocodile tears.

    I like this!

  11. #3 is amazing. 

    I ran with it, inspired.

  12. Dawn W says:

    Moore has meant less Willis

    I miss Oliver’s
