Today is World Centennial Haiku Day 05/07/05
Rejoice good citizens, today is Haiku Day.
We're all well familiar with rape haiku (and grape haiku from the Mefi thread) but did you know about Scifaiku (science fiction haiku)?
Unless you don't follow the Gregorian Calendar, such as those following the Hebrew, Persian, Islamic , Chinese, or Hindu calendars. To them its just another day, I guess.

Seek thy glory upon bread
Marmite, thus to fame!

In haiku format.
(Yeah, yeah, I know, 5-7-5 does not a true haiku make, but hey, it's Saturday and I'm lazy.)
Also, all but one of the few eBay reviews I leave for sellers are in haiku form.

I wrote a haiku.
But it was not very good.
So I won't share it.

Over at The Kingdom of Loathing they have a haiku channel. If you go in there you have to type in all haiku or you get banned from chat for an hour (or more). "The heat!"

Working at the juice bar of an athletic club in Vancouver, I wrote the following to educate my co-workers:
Bad prokaryotes
Multiply in the juice bar
Kill them all, with bleach

I don't know why we bother - Dave Barry wrote the greatest haiku many years ago:
A dog is barking
bark bark bark bark bark bark bark
bark bark bark bark bark.

I am a caged faun
surrounded by luscious nymphs
dancing out of reach.
and
my neighbors' music
a jackhammer in my ear
I will kill them all.
frustrated and cranky today, I know.
