I certainly see
you rolling. Trying to stop
myself from hating.

...but seriously:
haikus are five-seven-five,
not five-three-thirteen.

"I'm rolling. They are
hating and patrolling. I
may be a scoundrel"

...would have the correct
number of syllables and
grammar. You're welcome.

Don't take this post too
seriously though. I'm just
messing with you, bro. ;P

The Melody

No, it's not just A
melody. Victory is
in these notes. Find it.

Sorry for my rant
But it couldn't fit inside
A haiku, OK?

To be fair, the Japanese don't necessarily count their haiku by the syllable, but by a somewhat similar linguistic element. As such, the English version of the haiku is sometimes misaligned. I'd look into this more to back up what I'm saying, but I'm too lazy to do so, and it doesn't really matter anyway because the English haiku is indeed 5-7-5.

That's actually
really interesting. Seems
logical to me.

I'm not sure how to
count syllables using the
characters they use.

Besides, I wrote that
slew of haikus for fun, for
creativity.

I'm not really one
of those Grammar Nazis. I
just filled the role there.

Excuse my 6-day
absence. I fear my passion
for haikus will wane.

Also, enough trying
to make up for it with these
haiku vomit-posts.

I'M A MESS!

Don't hate rock bottom
Tunneling under that shit

It's a feat greater
than all the others: spelling
"Odyssey" rightly.

by the interwebs. It was

The Haiku to Mess with your Mind

If round quarters are
cut from square sheets, where is the
remainder? Nickels?

The Day of 4 Haikus

There have been days of
three, five, and others. Might as
well hit the cycle.

Forever I will
be haunted as my mind warns:
don't rise up too soon.

Take me to the End

...and let the last note
bleed out like a flesh wound. Time
to go to bed now.

Winding Down

In the twilight zone.
The rush of day yields to the
solitude of night.

The Ambush

It comes for your ears
first, then works its way in. You
don't know what hit you.

Post 500 is Mine...

All lead up to this
moment. 5 a.m. starts yield
wholesome finishes.

Dark Thoughts

My Psychology
textbook speaks its mind, and thus
mine, like hares from hats.

Bumtrinket

I learn slang words from
the 1930s. Too bad
there's no use for them.

I convinced myself
I craved immaturity.
How it backfired!

like video games for me.
I swear I'm not old...

Of contributing nothing
Time to do more stuff

rains, longer days. An excuse
to play here, in ways.

The bride and the groom
are made of chocolate too.
Who has seen the dog?

imminent boon. My fourteen

Time to end my life
