Haiku U.

[Rowan]

I just checked my mail earlier this evening and received a book I'd forgotten my friend Barry said he was going to send me. It's 100 Great Books in Haiku. My favourite is the first one...

The Canterbury Tales

Pilgrimmes on spryng braecke --
roadde trippe! Whoe farrtted? Yiuw didde.
Noe, naught meae. Yaes, yiuw.

[diamondlil]

That could be a lot of fun!

[Rowan]

My second favourite is...

Kama Sutra

Advice for those in
a difficult position.
First, be flexible.

[Spitfire]

LOL, love it! Sounds hilarious, never heard of that before.

[Rowan]

I hadn't either, Spitfire, until two friends - both of who are Brits - told me about it and shared one or two of them with me. Then one of them bought it for me.

[Tanzanite]

Rowan,

Those are funny! I think it would be fun if you could post one a day or something.

[Rowan]

As soon as I get the book back from my co-worker, I'll do just that Tanzanite!! She took it home last night and forgot it there. :rolleyes:

[Rowan]

Okay here's today's haiku:

The Iliad

Sing, Goddess, of how
brooding Achilles' mood swings
caused him to act out.

[Rowan]

Oedipus Rex

Chorus: Poor bastard.
Oedipus: This is awful.
Blind Seer: Told you so.

[Rowan]

Remembrance of Things Past (Marcel Proust)

Tea-soaked madeleine--
a childhood recalled. I had
brownies like that once.
