Matsuo Bashō
Bad Haiku
Haiku #42689
frustration is a
reaction, for example
when someone says a

poem is "derivative" they
are themselves, reacting
so, in reaction vs. pro-active

this does nothing...I wrote
two violent images and it solved nothing

some poets are still
going to be the kind of person
who photographs the

old lady run over by
a lunatic for the evening news
and feels nothing for her
