you must be reading
revisionist japanese
history lies.. books

A sweet smell to some
An odious stench to others
evil or good, gray

mushi mushi hai!
still sore about ronin's bash?
I commiserate

(I'm afraid I am not Ronin, or Nova)

an evil empire
another evil empire
and so it goes on

good morning aussies
not speaking japanese now?
no need to thank us

leave the sun in bed
we have saved enough daylight
stretch my afternoons

More than scorn, defeat
to the very one envied
Aphrodite reigns

Yet, I realize
the venom of one so scorned
destroys the calm soul

Of nature I know
Freedom given, is treasured
A decision hangs

gray cloud hangs above
arid land's thirst soon be quenched
green grass burst to life

butterfly kisses
kiss me with a loving tongue
speak to me in french

The delicate depth
the immunity spreads wide
truth is relative

The game continues
clearly as words like dagger
strikes at the main vein

Immersed in wisdom
undaunted spirit shines through
like beacon at night

my apologies
it worked well in my browser
the winner: janis

the interactive
haiku...what's your opinion?
hate ithas promise

elves in quandary
masters of their own genre
and fools to themselves

anthrax is subtle
starvation kills many more
not americans

burning bush karma
sheds a light on osama
religious dharma

(or perhaps drama)

i think someone needs
a hug...turn that frown upside
down, you big goof ball!

ronin, if i ever saw u on the street,
that rotten ignorant grin on your face,
You'd be dead.

do HTML

tags signify when counting

up to seventeen?

A hUrRicaNe LooMed
a PoeT bLeW it AwAy
SunShiNe mAde itS wAy

tweedle, wheedle hum
what a fine windy weather
for hot air balloons

the wooden stake pierced
deep into dracula

I am so very very very
gay, because I have absolutely no idea
how many syllables go in each line of a haiku.

Dude with name that makes
no sense, stop making your text
so damn big and bright

I still don't know if
I can see, because that crap
was so fucking green.

When you are done with
reading this lovely haiku,
go to my website.

No matter what there will
always be someone who hates corn chowder
and always rehashes tofu with pork

If you meet a girl
whose name is Pickle Master,
she is a lesbo.

Anthrax, the band was
the first thing that came to mind
from old lawn sales in Fall

It's been a long time
but words do kill, words can kill
esp. the empty ones
that mean nothing because
the words people mean tend to
be ignored

remember that band
that went by the name "Anthrax"?
me neither, really...

specialists in beer,
tobacco, chocolate, cheese,
the world's finest weed,

and not to mention,
last but not least, tolerance,
the Dutch have it down

new threat to the world
no more powders up the nose
guess it's back to crack

your colors so blue
our lonely eyes turned to you
(let bring back boo, too)

betty please come back
your colored haikus dazzle
among haiku trash

and for the record
you accused me of smashing
your japanese nose

what are you smoking?
i am not responsible
for ash's haiku

not a racial slur
baby-talk: "very stinky"
only bad haiku

.......same with "oheYO"
.....which is really ohei NA*
......scott tries to be slick

(he plays with two emphatic
..particles, YO and NA to be
......seemingly innocuous)

betty is long gone
vitriol has replaced her
sublime offerings

..A Literal Translation Once More
............."totemo 'kuchai' "
........totemo KUchi/CHAIro

.......(very/....(holes)/(brown)
.......terribly/
.......many)

thus: too many horrid brown holes.

kusai...kuchai is
the cute baby-talk version
...my other teacher

if i understand
the nihongo that's used here
it is quite basic

and quite elitist
when not employed for haiku
but just for chit-chat
