Do You Haiku?

I am a big fan of Haiku, but I haven’t written any in awhile. Yesterday, I was reading Eyechan’s blog and saw that he had written one. It inspired me to do the same. The following haikus relate to Lent, Easter, and some happenings that will take place this March. Enjoy the seventeen syllable musings of the Matt-Man…

I long for burgers
Rare, juicy, and topped with cheese
Cows are delicious

Going to D.C.
Nephew is getting married
What is he thinking?

I hid eggs last year
I could not find all of them
The apartment stinks

On St. Patrick’s Day
My brother will roast a bird
Duck of the Irish

Far too many beans
The gas is overwhelming
Shell wants to drill me

March Madness begins
Studly young men bounce their balls
Trying hard to score

Easter will soon come
Bunnies, candy, painted eggs
Christ says, “What the fuck…?”


I hope to see all of you back here tomorrow for Stream of Consciousness Friday. Until then my fellow ruminators, best wishes and Cheers!!

Excellent haikus....so the beans are starting to get to you huh!

Heh I am having beans tonight and tomorrow will be a farty day.

jillie said...

Life's a gas! No pun intended....lmao!

What's haikus?

Schmoop said...

Wendz: Indeed they are, it is quite atypical, but I guess I am gettig older and things change. In this case for the worse!!

Jillie: Dont they teach you folks in Kal-Lee-For-Nee-Uh anything? ; ) A haiku is a poem that has three lines. The first and last line have five syllables and the second one has seven. There are variations, but this is the most typical pattern of Haiku. Cheers, and I hope the foot is coming along nicely.

I think I was sick that day. I actually grew up in Wee scon SIN and we're all pretty much retarded. You know, they could have taught it to me and my brain just got too full that day and that could be the reason why I DON'T remember it. It never took...LMAO!

Lizza said...

Hahaha! Great haikus, Matt. So hard to pick a favorite, but the ones that tickled my funny bone the most were the last two.

Cheers!

Schmoop said...

Thanks Lizza my favorite is the last one, although I was kinda amused by "Duck of the Irish"...Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Maybe it was just butt-ass cold in Wisconsin that day and your brain was frozen...

Jillie did not know
The beauty that is Haiku
Matt showed her the light

; )

"Duck of the Irish" - bwahahahaha! Love it!

Your haiku gives new meaning to the term "March Madness" now - that's gonna be a difficult vision to get rid of as we enter Championship "Week" now. Thanks a lot...

Schmoop said...

Thanks Songbird...Yep those testosterone laden young men will be running up and down the HARD WOOD court saying, "Look at me Songbird, Look at me..."

jillie said...

I see the light!

Schmoop said...

Thanks cousin Roger.

Thanks cousin Roger.

I'm here to help Jillie. I expect to see on eon your blog in the near future. Do you hear me missy?

Ha. I agree TB. Nope, no bird for me but if you continue making meat comments I will feel compelled to give you the bird. ; )

tkkerouac said...

very good
so you don't think your nephew should get married?

Schmoop said...

Oh Hell TK, I barely know the girl. I am just projecting from my one unsuccessful foray into the "bliss" that is marriage. I am simply going for the reception full of free booze. Cheers!!

Cheesy said...

Thats a gas!

Hey do you know why Irish bean soup only has 239 beans in it???

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

Matt-Man writes twice daily
the laughs they do abound
meatless he shall stay

Lentils so Lenten:
Beans for has-beens, or presence?
See my recent post.

Eyezaku said...

Love it, Matt-man! And great to hear that your son did so well on his test:)

CS said...

Chrsit says "What the fuck...?" That needs to go on a bumper sticker. I have a T-shirt that says WTFWJD?, but strangely, not everyone finds it amusing.

Lexa Roséan said...

nice:)

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: You lived up to your name with that comment.

Bond: Meatless until Easter morning and then people better watch out for me.

Laughorist: Very good L-Man. I'll check it out. Cheers!!

Eyechan: Thank you for the haiku-spiration!!

CSL: Well then they need to lighten up. I find it quite amusing.

Lexa: Thanks lexa and thanks for stopping by. Cheers!!

Odat said...

Matt's so blasphemous
He's going to go to hell
I'll see him there!

Peace

Liz Hill said...

Very rare filet
Seared thick meaty perfection
Only in Matt's dreams

*wicked grin*

Schmoop said...

Odat: I will enjoy your company as we burn forever.

TB: I just gave my monitor the bird ; )

Liz Hill said...

Spam juice dripping down
Matty's goattee lips trembling
Eyes closed in pleasure

hehehe

Schmoop said...

You got one part incorrect. I like to look at what I eat. Boo Yah...

Liz Hill said...

Ooooo me too

but sometimes it's just so good it makes your eyes roll back :-)

Schmoop said...

Jezebel...

Liz Hill said...

Nah--I only play one sometimes ;-)hehehe

Liz Hill said...

Brat hot from the grill
Little streams of juice flowing
Matty's mouth twitching

Cheesy said...

Turn is pure evil... I think I am in love....

Anna Nicole Smith
Came back to tell the psychics
She loved Matt-Man best

Liz Hill said...
