Bashō says something unhelpful
Bad Haiku
Horrible poetry for the digital age
29 Years, 56 Days and 78008 Haiku later...
ash learned how to spell
think what this means for haiku
no limitations

unbounded syntax
in a world constrained by words
but can he spell tact?

you people are wierd
all speaking drunken english
'bad' doesn't mean 'dumb'

nor does it imply
abandoning sanity.

tears are a weakness
i should never have shown her
my cold enemy

still they spilled like fire
irrepressibly liquid
dark with fury, fear

impassive, resigned
satisfied, closed off, locked up
her face is a wall

can i, should i be
as she is -- do i want to?
i don't know, don't know

too easily read
is wide open to heartbreak
humiliation
