Writings of various natures on various topics

Haiku - Metahaiku - haiku about haiku and about writing haiku

The haiku beckons
Just seventeen syllables
In which life is lived

When humor this bad
Is unleashed,the joker must
Duck and run and hide

The schlockiest stuff
Fills my text editor screen
As again,words fail

I write lots of these
Maybe one in a hundred
Is worth publishing

One must stop and think
If the English teacher says
Just speak in haiku
