Haiku Thursday

I tried to tell K last night how I loved her post yesterday. I loved how she brought us hunks through HotMC and HotMC through WTF Wednesday. Ironic that our last week before an indefinite but hopefully finite hiatus should come so easily and be so enjoyable to read and write. 

Anyway it's Thursday and there would be no other appropriate way to spend our last ever Thursday (before this hiatus) than revisiting some golden hiaku. Some may think Hiaku Thursday was just an easy way out but in fact Haiku Thursday is goldmine of pristine nuggets just waiting to be (re)discovered. Seriously there is some great shit in there. But today I'm going to reproduce some haiku from three of the most important themes to ever be explored through haiku: Sparkleface, Jews, and the most famous Jew - Jesus.  
Haiku impressions of Edward Cullen
by K and J



I
Stupid Sparkleface
With his stupid sparkly face
Get a real face!

II 
You can climb a tree
Really fast. Um, so what, guy!
So can possums! Dick.

III
Edward Cullen's best
Thing are his ever larger
Volvos. For reals guy.

IV
Girl found you're a vamp
By searching the internet. 
That's really lame, guy.

V
I think vamps are hot
But somehow Cullen kills it
Pussy vamps aren't hot.

Haiku impressions of Jacob
by K and J



In real life I
Love wolves. In Twilight Saga
I'm team wolf. TEAM WOLF!

II 
I love how the wolves
Are giant. I love how they
Are too hot for shirts

III 
I love how the wind
Blows through their fur. It suggests
Sensitivity. 

IV 
As well as being
a wolf (hot), Jake just seems like
better company.

V
If Edward's feelings
For Bella are wrong, then mine
For Jacob are too 

VI
Yeah. I guess we both
Know police chief swan is more
Age appropriate.


Just one more, I promise
I love you I hate
You I love you I hate you
Breaking Dawn Part 1

If J's allowed one, then I'm allowed one
Breaking Dawn Part 1. 
You sucked so very much. So
Why can't I quit you?
 


Haiku interpretations of what a random selection of Jews might have written in their diaries during the time that they were enslaved in Egypt and leading up to their release

Pharaoh be trippin’
He be hatin’ and killin’
Why he oppressin’?

Jews are people too
The chosen people! Jealous?
Suck it up bitches!

Is this for real?
Gotta  put blood on my door?
Oi vey! What a mess!

Who’s this guy Moses?
You want I should follow him?
I hope he’s a mensch

Haiku interpretations of what one very astute observer may have written in his diary
 I
Blood, frogs, lice, flies and
Pestilence, boils, hail
Locusts and darkness
II
What’s coming next, huh?
Slaying of the first born? No!?
Suck it, oppressors

Haiku impressions of what Jesus might have written in his diary during the week leading up to his crucifixion.



Monday
Hung with disciples
Found Lazarus dead. Hells no!
Miracled him back.


Tuesday
Woke with mad craving
For felafel. So what's new?
To Jerusalem!


Wednesday
Back to back meetings.
I was all Miracles, yo!
But they be hatin'.


Wednesday (later, in the Garden of Gethsemane)
God told me "The Plan".
Gulp! Also, Judas hates me?!
WTF!? Since when?
 : (


Thursday
BEST farewell dinner
With disciples. Ate WAAAAAYY too
Much bread! *Love* those guys!


Thursday (later)
I should have shaved my
beard before supper. It's so
Full of crumbs now. LOL!

Haiku Thursday

Sick
Functioning ok
I guess. But fading hour
By painful hour

Nightfall. Body aches
Bone sore. Throat, chest...all the pain
Sick be gone you fiend

Haiku Thursday (AM)


At any given
Time I'm always close to a
Bowl of baby mush

Proximity seems
To make baby mush appear
Very appealing.

Haiku Thursday (PM)

All the dumb things - Afternoon edition
When you went away 
For quiet time, come back to 
Heaps of work - so dumb

When you have to work
Clean, a bunch of boring stuff
That's so dumb. That's life

Haiku Thursday (AM)

All the dumb things
When you're awake at
Night, wondering when the babe
Will wake up. That's dumb. 

When you get a cold
The week before going back
To work. That's so dumb!

J deserves the best
Last week she baked croissants. Yum.
Ice cream this week, mate? 

Just jokes. Not really.
Ha ha! Of course it's just jokes.
And yet, not really. 

I still remember
Cinnamon ice cream, sandwiched
Between gingerbread.

Donut haiku Thursday (AM)



I like Nutella.
In a donut, sure, sounds nice.
But let's stay calm, friends.

Your simplicity
Leads to pure satisfaction
Cinnamon donut.

Juxtaposition
Of sweet hot jam and dough. Wow.
Gets me each time.

Haiku Thursday (PM)


Old baby haiku

Very distinct smell
Of banana dropped somewhere
Out of all sight Where?

In the car the smell
Is apple dropped half eaten 
Unseen but lurking

Haiku Thursday (AM)




New baby haiku 

My baby has skin
As soft as the inside of
Toasted marshmallows

When my baby poos
It sounds like a thunderstorm
In his pants. So cute.

I am so tired.
So very very very
Very tired. Zzzz.

Haiku Thursday (PM)

I dream of things like
Cheese, sashimi, runny eggs
J's dreams are cooler




Haiku Thursday (AM)



Dreams
Last night dreamt I met
Questlove in a Johnstone Street
Taqueria. Weird. 

Last week dreamt I met
Snoop on a bus in Cali 
Offered me a joint

What does it all mean?
Probably that I should, must
Get out a lot more

Haiku Thursday (PM)



When good brains go bad
My poor haiku brain
Slept so long, Keira Knightley
Not enough to rouse 

Once weekly produced
Five seven five but now
Struggles to haiku

Haiku Thursday (AM)

Shameful haiku confessions following a viewing of the enigma code movie.


It seems that something
Has snuffed out all my dislike 
Of Keira Knightley. 

'Twas a normal day.
Never thought it could happen.
Now I fear: who's next?

Haiku Thursday (PM)


Love every meal
But deciding what to eat
Day after day... ugh

Food inspiration
Can be be rarer than haiku
Inspiration... Beat




Haiku Thursday (AM)

Hey there New Orleans. 
Thought I couldn't love you more.
Then you went did this.

Haiku Thursday (PM)

Haiku responses to spring in Cardiff.
(Not taken in Cardiff)

Flannel is so great. 
Something else that's also great 
Is double glazing.

I love Sunday lunch.
With a pint and then pudding.
But I miss blue sky.

Haiku Thursday (AM)


Axel Foley is so happy to see the return of Haiku Thursday




Flannel
Got you as a shirt
Got you as sheets too, flannel
Got you on my mind

Sore tooth
Think of it daily
Call. Just call. Just call you fool. 
Ice cream eating hurts

And yet, dear tooth
The dentist remains uncalled 
You, tooth, remain sore

Haiku Thursday (AM)



A handful of feelings I felt  yesterday
I
Lost my umbrella.
And my sunglasses got broke.
Felt disappointment. 

II
Super super loud
Lightning cracked over my head.
Felt a little scared. 

III 
Got drenched going home. 
Then made some hot cocoa. Felt,
Like a million bucks.

Haiku Thursday (PM)




Crab division

I
Just got to NY
As good as I remember
But I'll be home soon

II
In ten days or twelve
The space-time continuum
Is confusing me
