Joe's Haikus

Never get so attached to a poem that you forget truth that lacks lyricism.

You know those people who just seem to speak in iambic pentameter? Yeah, me neither. But some people definitely sound more poetic than others. When I got on my haiku kick, I noticed my friend, Joe Alisa, was more prone to post Facebook status updates in haiku form unknowingly. It's awesome. So in honor of Joe, I'd like to give a sampling of some of his poetic statuses molded to fit the haiku form. Enjoy!

Sitting on the couch
With kid, watching Breakin 2:
Electric Bug'loo

Trying to finish
But dreaming of the IHOP
Future midnight run?

How many people
Are writing their substantial
writing papers here?

Weather forecasting
is a dead art. Now we have
Stating obvious.

So much for the happy
Happy, joy Motorcycle
Day that I had planned.

Hotwheels this morning
at 6:30? Do we have
to? But I love it.

I'm Poly so I
like the Poi. I'm a Cougar
and I like the POY.

Crazy accident
On the way to school. Full sized
van flipped on its side.

Shout out to law peeps.
If you're not using all your
tickets, I need some.

One month left to go
and I finally make it
in a web story.

Shout out to law peeps.
Anyone have good cases
On Sharia Law?

I thought giving Joz
A bottle would help him go
To sleep. I was wrong.

Taught him everything
He knows. I really didn't
teach him anything.

Yo to my classmates.
I found a book today in a room.
Did someone lose one?

Doesn't feel so good.
You wanna buy a bulldog?
Drive-by Jimmering. (a composite)
