Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 it's just a haiku for the list. Hey, thanks, Harsha, I'm having great fun writing haiku. hee, hee, Mark Life buzzes you and me Like the reeds that we are. Sometimes we're silent. Hey, that's not correct. It has the wrong scansion rate Or something like that A missed syllable Here, a missed syllable there Who cares about death? That's not why we came We came for the heavenly Dare to be fearless We came for the beer. Love, Mark ps I only meant to write one, but it's addictive. Of course the whole thing is a poem now, and haiku just took a hike. I am so run on at the mouth. For haiku contests, there should be only one entry, and it should be perfect. But I like this contest much more. We came to be buzzed Like two reeds in a jazz band Competing for breath (to be jazzed in a buzz band?)

They're great fun as always, especially the first one about the buzzing reeds. I'm still chuckling about the cat haiku you sent out a few months ago. They were great. I get a distinct feeling you are a reincarnated Japanese haiku master. (hee hee hee) Love, Amanda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember Sahajman saying that Mark was a summo wrestler in ancient Japan (in his past life reading of Mark). Obviously Mark's connection with Japan is very strong. Do you like Chinese food Mark? Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
