Haiku ?Bless you !
God, no. Haiku doesn't suck that much. My husband wrote a book of haiku (Office Haiku, published by a real publisher but now out of print and only available used). Here are some favorites:Real reason we're notChained to desks? Health plan won't payFor own limbs gnawed off. -- my husbandEven in Kyoto,Hearing the cuckoo's cry,I long for Kyoto -- BashoI'm going out, flies,So relax,Make love -- Kobayashi IssaWe walk onthe roof of hell,Gathering flowers -- IssaFor Issa: we're onThe roof of hell, but at leastwe try to patch holes. -- meA pleasure so greatTragedy will surely come:La vie est comme ca. -- my husbandThree lines, syllable count of 5-7-5. The Japanese ones don't fit because of translation.
