I have found a form of poetry I can appreciate! Enter the haiku, a Japanese structure consisting of a five syllable line, a seven syllable line, and another five syllable line. The following are my adaptions of needlessly long classical poems and a few of my own creations for our times.
Who is this Shakespeare?
Man with time but without wife
And so he remains
Shall I compare thee
Unto a midsummer's day?
Because thou art hot
We are hollow men
And therefore should eat dinner
Deep meanings aside
I find poetry
Resembles waterboarding
Except it is dry
I buy an iPod
Apple tax notwithstanding
It is soon stolen
Existentialism
I ask, "Who am I but me?"
Pointless exercise
Postmodernism claims
That this line has seven syllables
Think not? Go away
Blogging can be fun
But is often obnoxious
I conclude my post
