The First Haiku War
Hey gang, today’s Thursday experiment is special, in that it’s going to last all the way until Monday. It’s a Haiku War!
The rules are simple:
1. I post a Haiku after the rules.
2. You respond in the comments section via Haiku.
3. You can post as many as you want, and insult anyone you want, as long as it’s in good fun, and in Haiku. Anything not Haiku will be deleted with extreme prejudice.
4. For those of you that don’t know, a Haiku is structured in 3 phrases, in the form of 5-7-5 “morae” (think syllables). So the first line is 5 morae, the second is 7 morae, and the third is 5 morae again.
It looks something like this:
You use syllables
That make a five seven five
That’s how you haiku
Get it? Great! Let’s get started!
My haiku to you:
To all my readers
Get off Youtube you mofos
And get back to work.
Are you just gonna take that from me, you pansies?

Rami, my guy friend
How I miss your face daily
words of love not war
Sandy, my girl friend
I also miss your face but
Haiku War Prevails!
Haiku horizon
Facebook commenting Needed
and Boss know the way
As a Canadian
Your speech lacks prepositions
And conjugation
Haiku Japanese
is, like Yoda I can say it
SOV Ok
Haiku Japanese

this war I shall win
with my violent poetry
and one shoryuken
(also this is my first haiku. I might have failed on bad english account)
Did you say butt face?
It’s time you got a job, eh?
My pay check laughs loud.
Your paycheck may laugh
But my skin laughs even more
Dubai sun next week
Your tan will not count
No matter where you bath, dear
your face is not near
The war will not end
Til our hands are blood coated
you can mark my words
Ah Leor you’ve come
Prepare yourself for despair
My archnemesis
The end will be swift
You must protect yourself well
Jock strap required
it’s kinda gay, dudes
when you speak like this war talk
specially jock strap
Batman and Spartans
Entire cast of He-Man
Manly men wear jocks
Read you must now learn
or get back to the kitchen
and make me sandwich
My dear Mexican
Why do you hate sombreros?
Hua hua hua hua hua
You are a cheater!
“Hua hua hua hua” doesn’t count
Write haikus better
Mama always said
“Don’t you trust Montrealers
They cheat at haikus”
montreal does suck
toronto is even worse
brazil is the best
Ah, fair fine brazil
The leaders of portugese
Besides portugal
oh dear canada
the great leaders of english
except for oh wait
Forget the sandwich
What he truly desires
Is a burrito
Didn’t know what haiku was,
Since no no engrish,
But then realized I’m the best anyway
The title “Flame On”
So sweet like a nice bonbon
Good Beastie reference
It is all out war
With the haiku poetry
Your mama loves it
So, despite the way
this looks, this is a haiku
~ Leor M. Boshi
sparring with cadence
lines blasting down geeky page
bow before Haiku!
Try to remember
Not to forget, but it’s hard.
I always forget.
Rami running quick
from haiku war he couldn’t win
Dubai grants no shield
Behold baited breath
as we eagerly await
The announced winner
