QUICK: It’s Haiku Time
Started as a place to post Haiku written while riding New York’s own, slow-as-all-get-out E train, Indecenthaiku.com has become so much more. Currently, it’s where I go to smile when even Stumbleupon lets me down. Check out some recent gems:
A Secret Imparted (by Pip)
holding me in thrall,
she whispers in my ear:
i think i have crabs.
Guatemala (by pcordon)
a third world country
where spring is eternal
dude, where’s my wallet?
Last Night… Wow (by Greg)
The memory hangs
over me, just like your bra
on my ceiling fan
Full Flight, Full Bladder (by Greg)
aisle seat reclined,
taunting me with snot bubbles,
he blocks my relief
Little Details: A Smoker (by pcordon)
your face is gorgeous
your body, sculptural.
but you taste like shit.
Waiting Room at the Hicksville Train Station (by jackie)
Forced Stranger chats
You’re very nice, sir, but
I’m Not down with rape.
Surely you notice the pattern; they’re all indecent, like the name suggests.
Ready for the challenge: Write a fun hiku. It could be about fun, or just plain fun to read. Now post it below. The best one come Monday wins a free prototype of Zoomdoggle’s SnapDoggle. What’s a SnapDoggle you ask? Only one way to find out (at least for the moment)…
NOTE: This competition has been extended another week. We’ve got some good entries so far, but I know we can do better. What’s fun? Jot it down in 5-7-5.

Mmmm…I’m no expert but don’t you have to allude to the season in Haikus? Hence lots of mentions about Cherry Blossom and the like…

Can you have more than one entry? I don’t care, haikus are fun. Just pick one!
Life-giving blood flows
My nose, a scarlet fountain
I should stop picking
Serene little woods
Babbling brook soothes my soul
Great place to kill him
My heart in my hand
This is music from my soul
Haikus are emo
Smoke curls from my gun
I’d said, “Let go my Eggo!”
He didn’t listen
Put your collar down
Straighten out your stupid hat
You’re from the suburbs
As strong as lightning
As unstoppable as wind
The Hulk is so boss
Sad little old man
Hitting on his young waitress
He smells like cat pee
Strong yellow river
Steam rises from the fresh snow
Now you know my name

Haiku tennis match
Vidiot and Cupkates play
Who will win this game?

I was particularly inspired on one topic today, for some reason:
They walk among us
Green flesh falling off their bones
Like gross barbecue
Undeterrable
The living dead march onward
They will eat your brains

My dog likes to chew
She hates all things that dangle
Please don’t chew that now!

Zoomdogge: More fun than work!

Caught through the windows

Blinds always kept shut

Anticipation
What could a snapdoggler be???
Hoping I find out…
Vidiot want to be friends?
January 26th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
WOW, tons of good stuff (and by the way, thanks Katie for reminding me to pick a winner on this one). I do believe Dbech and his ode to Pez takes the case. Dbech, send me your address at prizepatrol at zoomdoggle dot com.
As for what exactly the cake is… I called it a Snapdoggle last week, but the jury is still out on the naming. In any case, the first one goes to this winning Haiku, and in just over a week, anyone else who wants one will be able to get in on the fun too! How fun is that?
PS: Feel free to comment on other posts as well. Comments are fun. It lets me know you’re out there.
