EGA 2010 haiku poetry competition -- 2 tix up for grabs

[hutch]

I do like the game

Friendly banter who decides

It's mind against mind

Challenges ahoy

We like the game why not play

You know what I mean

Or word against word

An intellectual trip

Please come play with me

[hutch]

Such pleasure I get

In hidden little meanings

Morse code to my mind

Hokku now haiku

And they used to write it straight

Wikipedia

But not syllables

For moras is the real term

Whats your cutting word

[The Deb-One-Amine]

the ticket i say nay

this games just fun to play

post at least 2 a day

i need more spores

im Like some dirty fucking whore

my cash just goes to my score

[hutch]

The deb one amine

Six Six Six you done again

The devils number

[The Deb-One-Amine]

Ehhh fuck that i give up

[kapitän kamasutra]

double the portion

drink it all in one mouthful

my ego is my foe

[Quill]

Go push past the prince,

Imbibe from his gold chalice

Spit it in his face

Well maybe it is

But then, what is it to you?

If this is a dream

A lady told me

She knows all about the greens

Commies says Monckton

She wants no more tax

But tax brings us services

Oh you're one of them

Well, go vote liberal

Four wheel drive latte drinker

The greens ARE commies

You haiku head Hutch

You just haiku too damn much,

too much when I'm dutch'd

Nice..

[Quill]

One thing you should know

Every haiku I write is

based on real events

edit to include;

zebra unicorn

Did I mention she flies?

She totally does

two tabs and a bike

mushroom tea for hydration

multiple pipe stops

Night under the jetty

The tastiest part of the squid?

Probably its soul

Earwax crucible

Quite loud is the rattle of

cosmic vibration

for some squid soul stew

[The Dude]

Ehhh fuck that i give up

 

Don't ever give up

just count them all on your hands

mul-ti-syl-la-ble

com-part-men-tal-ised

words in their com-po-nent parts

which are syl-la-bles

you got some dope lines

they sneak out of their con-fines

just keep that in mind

All the best deb-one

I'm waiting for your wise words

your poems have some

[The Dude]

I've found the answer

now I'm left scratching my head

what was the question?

[rahli]

Grab the thread and jump,

watch the puppet unravel,

onto a spindle,

feeding the machine,

the shadow puppet looks on,

eating the platform,

with no where to stand,

the puppet is now master,

and you're on a string.

A thought from below

Something you might like to know

Im your friend not foe

You see enemy

This isn't the way to be

let truth set you free

An eye for an eye

A bigger slice of the pie

Dont die for this lie

Together we live

In harmony together

Together we die

Edited August 24, 2010 by Slybacon

Unlike the humble

No escaping the hell fire

Botanic Gardens

the feel of dinosaur skin

Did I hear voices?

Yeah, I heard something

stash it and creep away quick

muddy earth afoot.

You can't restrain me,

to seventeen syllables.

So take that, haiku.

[rahli]

Bleeding across now,

the inkblot test of present,

a dark stain of time.

[Yawning Man]

Fucking with your friends

To create tension and doubt

Skitzophrenic cunt

Mistrust, suspicion

The center of gravity

Why don't i like them?

Safety in routine

Break free and risk loosing it

Torn between the two

[rahli]

anyone who posted a poem in the other haiku thread after the close of the 2009 competition will be automatically entered into this year's competition.

 

Here are some entries

dragged over from the last thread,

saves the mod some time.

Fellow travelers,

have full crashed out with blisters,

and hung their boots now!

Self regulating -

When chasing the machine elf,

you might trip and fall!

Where's the steering wheel?

I'm on a straight track to hell,

Tickets at the gate!

Her smooth alloy frame

Hitting the vapor genie

So sweet on my breath

On a horse and cart,

The street is made of chocolate,

And strawberries and cream.
