Count As High As You Can...Before "The Man" Stops You. [02]

[Aisha deCabre]

Ah, haiku slamming
A favorite pasttime of mine
But not today.  2.

[Jairus]

Ozy and Millie
Are the ones who taught me this.
Oh, and 3. Sorry.

[Aisha deCabre]

Completely funny
Iambic Pentameter
I wish I could slam.

4.

[Ren Gaulen]

The Sword and the Swordsman are one
They strike without fail
The Evil is cleaved.

[Aisha deCabre]

x3

That's not a haiku
Syllables of five, seven
And five again, now.

6.

[Ren Gaulen]

Yeah, that's not a haiku. That's a mantra.

7.

[Jairus]

Not counting Jyrras
There are eight other people
In his family.

[VSMIT]

While we are doing Haikus,
One would think that you are a muse.
Though this is not one,
It still is great fun,
And Ren's mantra can easily confuse.

Wow that last line didn't work right...
9.

[Ren Gaulen]

This poetry must be stopped, no matter the cost.

Also, ten.

[LionHeart]

Eleven. In prose.

[VSMIT]

But limericks are fun...

12.

[Jairus]

The number 13:
Why is it so unlucky?
I like this number.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

The limerick's an art form complex
whose contents run chiefly to sex
It's famous for virgins
and masculine urgins
And vulgar erotic effects.

[Jairus]

There once was a man
From Nantucket, who sucked at
Writing limericks.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

There once was a man from Nantucket,
Who kept all his cash in a bucket
His daughter, named Nan
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket? Nan tuck it.

[Jairus]

Quoted from Wikipedia...

The limerick packs laughs anatomical
In space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

[Ren Gaulen]

I cannot rhyme and I must count. Aye, there's the rub.

2.

[Jairus]

I've spent three minutes
Writing a reply to Box.
Limericks are hard.

[Darkmoon]

Reset.

[Ren Gaulen]

Reload.

One.

[Jairus]

There once was a poster called Jairus,
Whose skill with the poem we'll address:
His technique was lame,
His word choice the same,
While on his haiku he'd obsess.

Sheesh, that was my second version of this damn thing. And I wanted to use it to respond first-thing after the reset. Oh well.

[Ren Gaulen]

Argh.. Why can't I come up with something like that?..

Three.

[VSMIT]

Bec4use it's hard to figure out words that fit in the rhyme scheme.

That's why the last line of mine sucked so bad.

[Jairus]

It's funny, poems
Are either really easy
Or really hard for
Me to do. I mean,
Here's a two-part haiku, which
Is just stupid. Five.

[Darkmoon]

Well, good luck to you. You get another chance to do it all again.

[Jairus]

There once was a man from Calais,
Who dreamt of owning a chalet.
However for him,
His prospects were thin
Since he worked until five as a valet.

[gh0st]

i don't rhyme...
2

[Jairus]

Half of the joy of
Haiku is that they don't have
To rhyme at all. Three.

[Aisha deCabre]

4.  Don't feel like being a poet now. 

[Jairus]

I can understand.
However, I seem to be
Stuck after five. Help!
