GRM Haiku

Wikipedia said said:Haiku (俳句, haikai verse?) listen (help·info), plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 Japanese on (a phonetic unit identical to the mora), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 on respectively[1], and typically containing a kigo, or seasonal reference. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to equate to the Japanese haiku's three metrical phrases[2]. Previously called hokku, it was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of 19th century.

Let us begin..the first ever....GRM haiku contest....

My car is cheaper

It runs because I wrench often

sometimes that really sucks.

Can a Haiku have a period or hyphen in the middle like this one?...

I think you have earned

the joy of a Miata.

Mine is on e-Bay.

Megasquirt them all

Complete control of the maps

Painful frustration.

so you got the new parts on?

The GRM Board

Might be in big trouble now

that poets are here

edit: Take 2!

Extensive and cruel

Remarkably in Winter

Corrosion of steel

five seven and five Luke, are the rules for Haiku Please read the first post

Oops! I thought we were just doing 3 lined poems. At least there's a seasonal reference in there

think of all the hours

spent perusing great content.

Thank You G R M!

I first did Hiku

In Elementary School

It sucked then too.

P71,

Miata, and E30

Holy Trinity

EDIT: requires you pronounce them "seventy-one" and "thrity", not "seven-one" or "three-zero" (though it still works if you say "three-oh")

Haiku's are easy

But sometimes they don't make sense

Mazda Miata

Ease of Haiku is

merely western illusion

to count syllables

Let us not forget,

AW11

And RX7

Mother F$%#ing C$#@

Sucker! Threw a rod again!

Don't drive to events!!!

Don't get a Neon

Unless you want a problem

Or a lot of fun

floppy butt, back boobs

saggy arms with waddle neck

please don't hit on me

WALLY!

Small Japanese car

Great fun but brings no women

And still burns off cash

Big turbocharger

Makes car go fast like a cat

But makes gasket blow

You get the right count

In Hiragana, but just

the sounds are counted

I am wrong again

My girlfriend is always right

I don't ever win.

Mazdas have a soul

Remove rotary engine

No more soul remains

The cheap fix can win

This we seek for light wallets

Tow trucks are my friend.

Boost it 'till it blows

Cacauphonous symphony

Per rewrites the rules
