*cough*

Not a haiku. Needs more syllables.

Fraser Lewry | 12 May 2008 - 12:55pm

Yes I think it's

more like a Senryū which deal in humour , irony and satire Haiku's refer to a season in the classical tradtion ;)

Chemical Brothers haiku

We wave at the crowd
Behind our banks of keyboards
Which we never touch

Mine was haiku-lite, Fraser. You have to subscribe to get the full thing.

adze thuggery | 12 May 2008 - 3:06pm

Ahh, I see

Thanks for the clarification.

Fraser Lewry | 12 May 2008 - 3:07pm

My favourite ever haiku

To convey one's mood
In seventeen syllables
Is very diffic

Van's Haiku

Radio playing,
cleaning windows, Hyndford Street -
down by Avalon.

DavidG | 12 May 2008 - 8:02pm

Van redux

Little bit higher
Ford and Fitzroy, Madame George
I may go crazy.

Archie Valparaiso | 13 May 2008 - 9:25am

More Van

We had potted shrimp
and herring in case
we got famished before lunch

Haiku yellow card!

First line should have five
Syllables, second seven.
Third line five again.

Aye thankyew.

Paul Vincent | 13 May 2008 - 10:31am

Guilty as charged

I only knew the
Seventeen syllables rule.
I'm now up to speed.

Seamus | 13 May 2008 - 12:12pm

Yer Blues

Woke up this morning,
yes, I woke up this morning
and wished I was dead.

DavidG | 13 May 2008 - 10:54am

Oasis - an honest appaisal.

Are Oasis good?
What do i think of the band?
They are f***ing shit!

I thankyew.

Steve Hill | 13 May 2008 - 11:26am

It seems that...

The Beatles hit tunes
Inspired a Manc lad to write
Songs not half as good.

Paul Vincent | 13 May 2008 - 11:51am

Errr...

Used to like Bob Mould
When he was in Husker Du
But less in Sugar

Fraser Lewry | 13 May 2008 - 12:18pm

Oasis wisdom

By now you should have
somehow tried to be who
you are gonna be

That bint in Amon Düül
Renate Knaup-Krötenschwanz

Amy II

The soaraway Sun
I took sixteen Valium
They said, "No, no, no".

Archie Valparaiso | 14 May 2008 - 12:58pm

AMY III

Beehive and smudged eyes
Unable to sing songs live
Her careers gone.......

Steve Hill | 14 May 2008 - 1:18pm

AMY IV

Do my ears deceive
Or is that the faint twanging
Of the James Bond theme?

Richieboy | 14 May 2008 - 3:27pm

Amy IVb

No, it's all off now
According to Mark Ronson
She's just "not ready"

LESSON FROM A RECENT iPOD MISHAP AT A FAMILY BBQ

The Dead Kennedys
Are not really suitable
At family do's.

Mark JF | 14 May 2008 - 5:09pm

AMENDED

My first version might suggest that it's the band members' and their presence that's the problem. So here's a better version:

Dead Kennedy songs
Are not really suitable
At family do's.

Mark JF | 14 May 2008 - 6:48pm

Let's be honest...

Either/or, my friend -
There's always room for Jello
But not around kids.

CrawtonLeek | 14 May 2008 - 9:02pm

After the break-up

A leaf-strewn back yard
Screaming metal from next door
Jello plays with Lard

Richieboy | 15 May 2008 - 2:02pm

Jeff Buckley (not Ian Curtis)

Only one album
hundred documentaries
he was not THAT good

**

big lips, smart suits, dead
smack head, paedophile, big chin
The original Stones

**
dull turgid dreary
monotony humdrum drab
Razorlight Coldplay

Simon Smith | 15 May 2008 - 11:31am

English Folk Song

Lover and his lass
One fine morning, month of May
Sing Fa la la la.

DavidG | 15 May 2008 - 1:38pm

Metal Machine Music

Hissing and white noise
Screeching and caterwauling
It's Lou's masterpiece

Word up, on the shelf
Beside the pornography
I blame that Mark Ellen*
