Haiku Battle

[tiecollector]

Mom really hates me
But with StyleForum's guidance
I will out-style her!

In haiku battles
Augusto will dial nine
To get a line out

You know you can't hang with the
King of poetry

Japanese culture
artform mockery will be
like falling on sword.

Die western scum bags
take your Louis Vuitton and
eat teriyaki

I one up your post
my heritage proves impure
still I can haiku.

LV and Japan
Like Republicans and Fox News
Lives for each other

And teriyaki?
Is this even Japanese food?
I wretch and hurl thee

Shame is upon me
Writing haikus at work station
Ten dollars per line

Of confessionals
I am a poorer doer
Than a listener.

Haiku always have a seasonal reference, otherwise they are technically called Senryu (川柳) and should have an ironic twist.

A haiku (more or less):

春雨や
俳句の戦争は
びっしょりじゃ

A light spring rain falls
The haiku battle is on
And drenched to the skin

A senryu:

インスピレーション
ないことないが
これ書いた

Inspiration
It's not that I lack it, but
Still, I wrote this

A creek thaws in spring;
my heart, glad with this respect,
yet fears pride's late frost.

My phone rhymes remote;
but your lines are sent by post
coming in fourth-class.

That was nicely done.

indigo falling
blue-black tears upon my shoes
hushed joyful weeping

easter bunny cold
his long furry ears frozen
cracked eggs in basket

Six inches of rain
Dainite through puddles, still dry
Thank you Northampton
