I’m a huge fan of a quintessential Oregon entity called Live Wire! Radio – a mix of edgy humor, music, and Garrison Keillor-style story-telling and political humor. My wife and I went to the show w/ other folks from eROI and one distinct thing that they do at every show is the Audience Haiku. Let me preface this blog post by saying that I am clearly no poet, haiku expert. In fact, they may be so bad, that they are laughable. But, it’s Monday morning and I want to have you, my loyal blog readers, participate a little more and inspire me with some of your haikus. Here are only two ground rules – 1. it’s got to be as close as possible to 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables; 2. theme can be edgy, vulgar, random, whatever, but NO excessive swearing please. Let the absurd poetry of haiku begin.
dark in the morning
cold as hell on my red bike
I am refreshed
Anticipation
of Halloween begins and
finance market scares
Yellow leaves cascade
slick as banana peels squish
under Nike Air
Now, it’s your turn. Comment with your haiku – you could win a free eROI collectible gift of a robot named KillROI – the famous hero in www.KillSpammer.com!
