Haiku Thread

[Prime Time]

Like a phoenix it
rises from the ashes of
total forum crash.

Wrestlemania:
my haiku series is lost
to the ether. Damn.

[anonymous]

Majestic Poetry,
Destroyed by technology,
We must mourn our loss.

[Prime Time]

I am watching New
Japan and funnily no
haiku comes to mind.

[anonymous]

New Japan Wrestling,
Is like jeggings and belfies,
Just a short-term fad.

Dragon Gate was great,
They had amazing matches,
Now who remembers?

[Prime Time]

Funny short term fad;
started in the seventies.
Maybe long-term fad?!

I can't say I know
Too much about Dragon Gate:
What I've heard is good.

[anonymous]

Yo-yos, skateboards, pogs,
Come in and out of fashion.
Poor tamagotchis.

New Japan is cool,
A trend towards mainstream fans,
But will it stay cool?

[Prime Time]

I don't know how long
it will stay fashionable
for; but even though

I am not one of
the hardcore it's still helping
to keep my concern

in wrestling alive.
That's no exaggeration.
I'm grateful for that.

[anonymous]

I understand you.
It’s the same reason I watch,
NXT so much.

[sheepster]

I have now returned
To retake my rightful place
In this haiku thread.

[anonymous]

Beautiful Sheepster,
I'm delighted you've returned,
To grace your old thread.

[Oliver]

I'm so glad this thread
Has returned to existence
The board reset hurt

[Benjamin Button]

You must die to rest.
You have exhausted yourself
Working person die

[anonymous]

I'm eating a pear,
No one does that anymore,
They're underrated.

[anonymous]

I’m drunk and alone,
Nobody calls me up now
Fuck Dua Lipa

[Benjamin Button]

Your best is not good
You suck big doggy pink dick
You better get good

[anonymous]

What did I do wrong?
Flaming me in your Haiku,
Is over the line...

[Benjamin Button]

Would never flame you! :O
The haiku was just something
A boss said to me
I added lib with dog dick
He did not say that

Would never say that to you!
You are awesome, man
To explain in a haiku
That is hard to do.
Was second person writing
"You" is being used
Only as a point of view.

[anonymous]

No offence taken,
Controversy creates cash,
This thread might need it

[Prime Time]

Well, this thread sure took
a weird old turn back there for
a sec. Time to get

things back on track. How
much are you looking forward
to Money in the

Bank? As for me, not
at all. But then I hate what
ladder bouts became.

[Benjamin Button]

Money on a skank
That's much much much better than
Money in the bank

[Prime Time]

So I tried to turn
Robert Frost's famous poem
into a haiku.

I had to change some
of the words here and there so
it fit. Please enjoy!


============

Two roads diverged in
a yellow wood, And sorry
I could not travel

both and stay as one,
long I stood And looked down one
as far as I could

To where it bent in
the undergrowth; Then took the
other, just as fair,

And having perhaps
the better claim, Because it
was grassy and wear

wanted; Though as for
that the passing there Had worn
them about the same,

And both that morning
equally lay In leaves no
step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first
for another day! Yet since
our way leads to way,

I doubted if I
should ever come back. I shall
be telling this with

sighs, Somewhere ages
and ages hence: Two roads split
in a wood, and I—

I took the one less
traveled by, And that has made
all the difference.

[sheepster]

We have to do this
To as many poems as
We can think to do!

Unfortunately
I know very few poems.
I'll just sit and watch.

That begs the question...
How many syllables does
Sad emoji have?

[Prime Time]

I wonder how long
it would take me to turn the
raven into a

haiku? All I know
is it would probably take
longer than I am

willing to spend on
it. I guess we need to pick
shorter poems, huh?

[Prime Time]

Counting syllables
is clearly challenging when
you are always drunk!

[Prime Time]

It is getting quite
Lonely in here. I need to
Find some new poets!

[Prime Time]

So, what will happen
if i'm the only person
to post in here for

the rest of the board?
Imagine people will have
stopped reading by then.

[anonymous]

Being dead is sad,
I'm sorry to have left you
There is a story.

I got a new job,
which took up all of my life,
killing this 'nony.

As my life spiralled,
I drunk too much and fell off,
everything I did.

By the way, I was,
also having a romance,
although forbidden.

Her boyfriend found out,
and threatened foolish nony,
so I'm lying low.

Sex and alcohol!
Have always been my vices,
to my detriment.

And so I return,
Drink in hand and heart on sleeve,
sex is due Thursday.

I know that one day,
The sex and alcohol will,
come back to bite me.

But till then, I live,
and will never change my ways.
FOR I AM NONY.

[Prime Time]

You do worry me
Nony, but I'm glad to see
you back here again

[anonymous]

I worry me too,
I belong to an old time,
To the romantics.

I live so I love,
I love so my heart can break,
My heart bleeds slowly.

[Prime Time]

Dw'in gwisgo crys-T.
Dw'in eisiau sglodion.
Dw'in hoffi coffi.

Is it too much like
showing off to do these in
other languages?

[anonymous]

It’s very skillful,
Alas! I don’t think I could.
Manage it myself.

I’m too hungover,
To do anything right now,
But lie down and sleep.

[anonymous]

Grandmaster Sexay!
I miss you more than your dad!
I hope you’re okay.

Your daemons to rest,
Safely in the afterlife,
Finally at peace.

[anonymous]

Talking to myself!
It’s the first sign of madness.
And I am a fish.

[Prime Time]

Poor Nony writes all
alone by himself, just like
I did back in June.

Never fear though, 'cos
I am back from holiday,
and write haiku too.

[anonymous]

2 men on the board,
Dead Simultaneously,
R.I.P Forums.

[Prime Time]

The rest of the board
looks fine but the haiku thread
does look pretty fucked.

It was clearly sheer
madness to try and do this
without Sheepster here!

[anonymous]

I miss sweet Sheepster,
He found a lady and left,
I hope he’s happy.

I hope they all are,
Aisce, Random, Romans, Terry,
Many more lost folk.

Living their own lives,
Without a thought for those left,
Are they happier?

[meandi]

Batman showed his dick
Another thread describes this
Comics make me sad

[anonymous]

An Interloper!
In Prime and nony’s thread?!
Surely he is lost?
