Haiku 4 U
FOUND by Sarah
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I found this on the floor in one of my lecture halls, appropriately enough, during the week we were studying Romanticism.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
"I have condition" Heh??
*makn sens: ur dooin it rong*
this has to be one of my all time favorite founds!!!
its so perfect!!
1st haiku 1st line is only 4 syllables.
buuuuut they're pretty funny, so I'll let it slide.
Hmm...is spasms two syllables or just one? I think it's one.
Don't hate me because I'm 6eautiful!
It is about time!
I've waited for a haiku.
And now it is here.
Ahahahahahahahaha
I like how the person who wrote the response outlined the 7-5-7 to inform the first person that they suck at haikus.
@ Ein Student: I would say spasms is two syllables.
I love this find! I love that such frustration (you are invited to read that word in many different ways) is expressed in Haiku. I typically think of the haiku as a very peaceful and passive means of addressing love, passion and beauty. This brings a whole new perspective to the haiku genre!
Awesome! So romantic, and she was probably still pissed at him. He could come "love tap" my ass with his condition :)
How could spasm be one syllable? Try it. "Spas mmmm, spas-mmm, spas-ummm". I actually made a few noises out loud there. Either way, you can't say it without it being 2 syllables. I propose an experiment: everyone tries to say it with one syllable! Notify us of success!
I like to think the first writer has a genuine crush on writer two, and this was her big "omg I'm totally going to like, flirt with that smart guy in English class today" move. And this was his put down, not only mocking her poor poetry skills, but saying "oh, sorry I kicked you, I don't actually want physical contact in any positive way with you. Bye"
no no, spider. See? the second S is silent... spasm spasm eggs and spasm..
@ woo hoo
But I don't LIKE spam!
I'll have yours then, I LOVE it!
Spam spam spam spam spam.
Looking on the ground
We find a lot of treasures.
Here you go, Found. Enjoy.
Crap! It's too early. My last line was six.
Haha, aww, how cute! I think this is a note between two girls (from the handwritings, and hearts and stars)-- they are obviously a very funny set of friends.
@ Ein student and Makin tea, Spasms is definitely two syllables. I'm trying to figure out how to say it as one, and I can't. Spazz... Zums.
Yesterday's rap song.
This continues it, no doubt.
I don't like either.
Although we agree
spasm is two syllables.
Poets can change it.
I must point out this:
Poets will take a license
Whene'r they want to.
The thing I don't like
about reading haiku is
I'm always counting.
I enjoy Haikus'
This FOUND is from my home
Well, close to my home
YAY!! Another FOUND from Toronto!!!!!
I love these kindsof FOUNDS! A wonderful way to start a Thursday!
4-U: haiku.
Back 2-U: Gesundheit!
from a lecture floor
bad haiku just left around
is now on Found
Is there writing on the back, or is that an imprint of the note itself from being folded and damp?
2nd line should read...This FOUND is from my hometown.
Last sentence should read...I love these kinds of FOUNDS! A wonderful way to start a Thursday!
Kick my head? not love.
come show me that you love me:
ride me, spank my ass.
After my absence
I am greated by haiku
which causes laughter
It is so sublime
To have a beautiful head
I want to protect my hair.
Oops.
Why the hell'd you put
Your so-called beautiful head
Near his nasty feet?
@ Flargy-hahahahaha
I have condition
it causes me to kick those
who suck at haikus
to ease the pain of
basic poetry failure
i draw hearts for you <3
@ sing lalala:
That's a very funny post:
hearts lessen the sting
**Props to Flargy!**
Maybe "Haiku 4 U" has "Leg Tourettes" where he or she busts out with Rockette style high kicks at inopportune moments. Inadvertently, he kicked Beautiful Head, but she needs to stop hatin' on his Leg Tourettes.
looking again at the haiku 4 u, it appears that the last line of mine should have been "TAP MY ASS"
OOOH! I was reading it as she was asking him to "love tap" her ass. lol. I get it, now!
Love it! So far my favorite FOUND.
A love tap that was really a kick in the head?
HAHAHAHA!
"I have condition." Thanks, Ahnald
"Bless your beautiful hide
Wherever you may be.
We ain't met yet
But I'm a willin' to bet
You're the gal for me."
(hee hee)
uh, Lolita, that is not Haiku
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
(Lolita, nice. One of my favorite movies)
It's national poetry day in the uk, is it over there too? That would make it international poetry day, I didn't know it had been promoted.
Poems bring me joy.
They bring you joy too. So it's
International
@Flargy-
"Why the hell'd you put
Your so-called beautiful head
Near his nasty feet? "
Ok - so my first thought that this had happened during the throws of passion...and when you wrote this I realized what they were doing :)
so basically, kathy, you're saying that spasm is really code for orgasm? (twitch!! twitch.. spasm)
2 syllables...its decided.
i wrote something like this once...i was bein goofy and dancing like a moron and my bf joined me in it and elbowed me in the eye...blackened it completely...looking back its still funny because i forgot the implications of saying...oh...my bf gave me the black eye...and my mom flipped!
Pastor Z,
Do you ever quote Monty Python from the pulpit? If so, I want to go to your church.
Miss Scarlett, repeat after me:
I WALKED INTO A DOOR.
@ Feeling incoherant
In actuality, I was preaching one Sunday about things that make each of us unique. I said, "I could ask you questions like, 'What color are your eyes?' or, 'How old are you?' or, 'What is your favorite color?'" When I asked the third question, this little voice in my head said, "Red, no blue! ARghhhhhhhhh!" But, as I do with all the other voices in my head, I kept it a bay.
I also felt this urge to discuss the wind speed velocity of an unladen African swallow, but chose not to. It's tough keeping my geekiness out of the pulpit!
dear friendly finder
Romanticism has naught
to do with love. duh.
There once was a hooker named Sue,
Who filled her vagina with glue.
When they paid to get in,
She said with a grin,
You must pay to get out of it too!
Haikus are fun but
Limericks are more fun than
Haikus to make up
***
There was a young poet named Hine
Whose limericks lacked a last line;
When told this was so
He replied 'Yes, I know'
***
Hine writes a haiku
It does not have a last line
haikus can be fun
but sometimes they don't make sense
refrigerator
You guys gotta listen to the interview of Davy in London! (Click the link in the orange Found Blog above.)
Jonathan, does that mean you're NOT an 18 year old punk rock kid? Davy must've been thinking of Flargy....xx
So titillating!
Why would one want to discard
A sexy haiku?
Mariah, hilarious. I am laughing my ass off, as well as my beautiful head.
Just thinking of writing a poem makes me feel severe anxiety....something must have happened to me in school that makes me fear poems.
Something terrible that I have blocked out.
Somehow I can't see the fun/sense/art/whatever in haikus. If at least they would rhyme <shrug>
Anyway. Is haiku two syllables or three? :)
You have convinced me.
Spasms is two syllables,
Does 'fire' have two too?
In my head, Night, in my head.
I once told the 'Hine' limerick to a friend of mine, and he immediately came back with...
Whose limericks lacked a first line.
When asked why it was
He said "It's because
I can never invent one in time."
PS:
There was a young poet named Hine
Whose limericks didn't even rhyme;
And when it came to meter
He gave up altogether
After the first line and a half.
You kicked my beautiful head,
A jerk like you should be dead,
"Condition" my ass,
You'd better run fast,
Your "love" turned my heart into lead.
*There, I did it! No anxiety whatsover...
@S.D.J.j.
Lolita's post is
Not Haiku but song.
HAHA! That's great!
There once was a young man named Peter
Who was a great meter-reader.
Near a leak struck a light,
And he rose out of sight.
And as anyone who knows anything about poetry can plainly see, the explosion completely destroyed the meter.
(My sister told me that one, once.)
I am in agreement with "spasm" being 2 syllables.
I also think that "beautiful" is 4 syllables, not three.
lmao. best thing ever.
Perhaps the writer of the first poem was trying to be clever.
Haiku 4 you
So the first line only had four syllables.
Although anyone who uses the phrase '"love tap" my ass' that level of sophistication might be a bit beyond them.
As Lars mentioned, romanticism has nothing to do with love. Furthermore, haikus were not a form of poetry used in the area where romanticism happen when romanticism happened. I feel we need either clarification or correction on the romanticism comment.
This is great. I stumbled here, giving it a thumbs up.
I found the following handwritten on the inside back cover of the religion textbook I received at the beginning of 7th grade:
I'd fuck you standing, I'd fuck you lying
if you had wings i'd fuck you flying
now you're gone but not forgotten
I'll dig you up and fuck you rotten!
neither one of these are haiku.
neither one of these
children have made any sense
do better or die
this is awesome
