Water fish-monster
Lover of hotdogs and blood
Sodium allergy
No obvious reason for this, I was just in a strange mood.
Is now a good time to flex my chance at winning a free DVD from Andrew, or am I going to make an ass out of myself?
"Sodium allergy" has six syllables in it, Andrew. Your haiku is kaput.

It's cool....change sodium to soda, which is a term often used for sodium.

This is something I was aware of, but I do not believe all haiku must have 5, 7, 5. I know I have seen them with small departures. I did not want to break the standard rule, but man was it fun to end with "sodium allergy" in there.
I'm the last alive
All the blood and the bullets
Oh God, it's a zom-
With apologies to Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark"
Scotie is sorry
haikus should be flexible
my face beams with red
No hard feelings Andrew.
And no DVD either. Bummer....
Scottie will work hard
Those DVD's will be his
extortion racket
Fishmen on my lawn
This has to be bad
It makes my lips perse
Dear Lord...what madness have I stumbled upon...this place gets stranger by the minute...
A fish monster once
approached looking for humans.
No humans here, I said.
I once read someone describe the best haiku as the one that is least noticed. The example given was something along these lines:
little bird walking
over wet roof. footprints it
leaves behind.
The intent of the haiku is to make the reader feel as though they are there and to give them subtle emotions with these few, precious words. I like this one above. Subtle, to the point, and lots of room for emotional interpretation

I could do this all day, but to spare what little sanity may still exist here, I'll stop. For now.
HAHAHAHA! I had a hangover,but I feel better now.
I finally got around to reading the review --
Oh, Lawdy, I now HAVE to see this movie!! It just sounds so wonderfully wretched on so many levels --
Thankyou for the work you do, Andrew --

Peter, you have never seen this one? I spill over with effervescent joy at being able to make the introduction. It really is a grand old b-movie. Enjoy.

You
could do that all day! :thumbup: Excellent, Derf; I always count on my fingers, keeping beat on my thigh when I read haiku. If I like it, I eventually stop counting syllables. Counting syllables is part of the fun and challenge! :smile:
Yagh! When did this child board start, and how did I miss it? I just logged in and saw Allhallowsday's response to "Derf's Haiku." Cool! Now I have a specific place to torment poor souls! I'll have to start practicing again.

I snuck it in on you, my friend. I've been wanting to start a board for bad movie haiku for a while. The other day, I suddenly realized that I had stopped creating haiku for new reviews and that made me sad. So, in hopes that it would keep me from forgetting that making them is kinda fun, I made the child board.
It's another weird and fun activity, like the humorous captions board.

Well, thanks, Andrew, I appreciate it even if everyone may get sick of my skills (skillz?). I *coughs modestly* am, after all, an award-winning poet (I won a poetry contest in college, first prize: $50).
