the very fat lady
bends over the tomatoes
a very full moon

moxies girlie soul
is confusion set in lead
'jewel' for all to see

jewel of mud you
slop my shinny boot-like poems
with darkness and slime

oh what desolation
I must face in the midst of
slimmy, hissing snakes

when mere light is sought
to brighten a looming day
Jewel floats ammused

yet insideher heart
is a desire to love all
excluding no one

i do not presume
to know you, yet i merely
proceed reading well

i submit to form
other that what's presumed
im for real haiku!

you presume you stick
to form and condemn
others for judging?

presume to know me
and you presume way too much
we are all in flux

the judgement is yours
i just write what i want to
adherent to form

you deem your proud self
a player and judge in one?
pray tell, can this be?

i reiterate
yours is a cup filled
no more growth present!

my, such anger burn
i shudder in fright and pain
unworthy bile, burn!

i don't exclude you
inclusion requires haiku
which some don't submit

call yourself a jewel
doesn't mean that you sparkle
bad zirconia

yours is a cup filled
while mine remains half filled up
sign of growth present!

assuming wisdom
where there lies such emptiness
marks of bigotry

gee, ash... i dont know
what right you have to exclude
cool people like us!

it's not bad haiku
rambling long contributions
are bad non-haiku

life is wonderful
the mother cradles her babe
far off, thousands weep

thanks to computers
i've seen porno where girls puke
it was alarming

you can't rid the world
of evil as bush suggests...
bad haiku is proof

I sip the fresh juice
of the welcoming morning
I smile, life is good!

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA

I'm still single and de-
spite the stroke me jokes along
needs a partner surely

hope you get to be
a phoenix like me, gentle
yet filled with fireballs!

Well, I hope to rise
from my own ashes, no offense, ash
less of an ass

and don't spread lies, dudes!
in the guise of purity, bah!
give freshness a chance!

(remember, lie like hell, next time, lie like hell!)

(remember, lie like hell, next time, lie like hell!)

Well, if you're mad
at someone then, you'd rather
remain mad, really

comicat gets slack
for being entertaining
you have no excuse

If I had a life
to get, then,aparently
I need a mohawk

tell me, can't there be
haiku, if say, it isn't
5-7-5 huh?

damn the digits, fool!
read on, and read on real good
delve into haikus, real deep!

I'm sorry, my wit
just went for a stroll and now
he's in quite a nit

so lee is moxie?
oh my god, i think i care..
time to get a life

someone wanted my
hair purple, and all this in a
chat!

by the time I get
to phoenix, he is counting
...all we've ever asked

your haiku is bad
A product of burnout, charred!
It is you who kill!

do you know me well
enough to hate me so much?
or do you just hate?

pray, illuminate me
thy grand champion of dimwits
what is it you ask?

moxie is on the
track of the 'killing haiku'
he makes me feel sick

phoenix or moxie:
this is the digital age
use your damn digits

Ronin, your name speaks
of some brute of guy dressed in
kilt. What's underneath?

(hint: my guess is not going to include a pair of...well anyway.)

Weep and grieve, alas!
hear their maniacal laughter
borne of ignorance!

that moxie is not jewel
phoenix, not moxie
bewildered moxie, weep!

Dear Moxie, pilloried by crass pretenders
thoughtlessly assuming You
to be me! Oh what shame, had they but known
