Seeking inspiration,
the Poet climbs volcano.
Did he tumble in?

 
horse-pheathers [TotalFark] 2009-05-03 09:37:19 AM  
Poet goes missing
leaving us all without words.
Perhaps he burned out?

 
horse-pheathers [TotalFark] 2009-05-03 09:40:57 AM  
Where has wordsmith gone?
Burning curiousity
or just burnt poet?

 
horse-pheathers [TotalFark] 2009-05-03 09:53:39 AM  
Am I alone here?
Does no one else feel inspired?
More Farker haiku!

 
horse-pheathers [TotalFark] 2009-05-03 09:56:59 AM  
Haiku's a good change
from "tits or GTFO!"
and cocoa samplers.

 
horse-pheathers [TotalFark] 2009-05-03 09:58:28 AM  
Take a needed break
from politics WHARGARBL.
Write haiku instead!

 
horse-pheathers [TotalFark] 2009-05-03 10:00:14 AM  
Where's poet gone?
Screw that. A better question:
Where's my bar towel?

What the holy hell
six haiku all in a row
someone needs a break

Excuse my rambling
and my senseless silly words.
I'm abed with flu.

I was gonna express irritation at the headline, as I initially thought subby was taking the easy way to headline a story and write a about poetry, but then I saw it was actually in Japan. Sooo, good job subby on your appropriate headline.


On a side note, why do journalists feel the need to tell us incredibly insignificant details in their story? As in, His brother Chris Arnold, who lives in New York, said Mr Arnold...
how the hell is the location

oh fark, i
am sorry for my
thread breaking

sorry that you're sick
hopefully you've kissed no pig
and won't die in bed.

No worries, You Said.
It's not like this thread can't take
prose interjected.

To be honest I
Just wanted to abuse puns
Abuse Engrish too

Being newly wed,
I count myself quite lucky
Should I die in bed. ;)

Just for clarity,
I meant more "la petite morte"
than escaping marriage.

/Hi honey! :)

I liked your headline,
and appreciate puns
in my doped up state.

...appreciate _the_ puns.....

/Bother.
//Nap time, I think.

 
CruJones 2009-05-03 10:43:25 AM  
headline was awful
hard to read and hurt head
try again next time

I like the use of
"Haiku" instead of just "hike"
my haiku is bad

 
scamp-dun-emer 2009-05-03 10:50:24 AM  
Not even going to try to Haiku in my red wine soaked state. I'm 2-3 hrs ahead of that location and it's been dark for 6 hours. Did they find him or not?

/old news sucks
//2 days is a long time on the intertubes

/but y'all did a good job with the po-etry afore I got here
//just sayin
///and sorry to ruin you rhythm

 
SherKhan 2009-05-03 10:53:29 AM  
Here're two of his poems more easily found than him on his vulcan trek.

"Missing on a volcano" is not an auspicious phrase, is it?

/Love Japan, but always thought haiku was kinda lazy.

 
elfletcho 2009-05-03 11:00:50 AM  
The guy is likely dead
you give an amusing tag?
Fark yourself subby.

 
dsriggs 2009-05-03 11:03:30 AM  
Come now, horse-pheathers,
You know we all like haiku,
But we just don't care.

An auspicious phrase
"Missing on a volcano"
It is, is it not?

/I took liberties and raped grammar just a bit but it was worth it.

So many haikus
This thread is so glorious
Instant "favorite"

Maurice Kraft also
died alongside his good wife,
Pyrocastic Flo.

 
Ripped Ogre Loincloth 2009-05-03 11:10:15 AM  
We may miss this man
But one could guess he did not
Miss the volcano

while seeking blind date
poet loses his footing
he'll never meet her

 
Ripped Ogre Loincloth 2009-05-03 11:18:38 AM  
A courageous hike
You could say that it ended
Magmanimously

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense

Blasphemous thread break
What crimes you have committed
You shall burn in Fark

/And is forgiven

Lazy? You, farker,
Paint a scene with simple words.
Try to get it right.

 
Ripped Ogre Loincloth 2009-05-03 11:25:34 AM  
For the life of me
I can't recall this man's name
Just what he was scald

 
Ripped Ogre Loincloth 2009-05-03 11:29:21 AM  
He may have just said
(If this was in Hawaii)
"aa" instead of "aah"!

Indubitably a sesquipedalian pundigrion feat.

here to hate subby
headline I read once again
now impressed am I

Ripped Ogre Loincloth: "aa" instead of "aah"!

"aa" is two syllables - ruined by your own cleverness.

 
TheShavingofOccam123 [TotalFark] 2009-05-03 11:33:34 AM  
the claw grabs poet
starker grows the volcano
a cone of silence

 
Ripped Ogre Loincloth 2009-05-03 11:33:38 AM  
Upon retrospect
This isn't what he meant by
"I've gotta go vent"

To forgive's divine
So Hephestus pardon me
He was fuming mad

I don't know
If I'm sane
But there's a ghost
In my heart
That's trying
To see in the dark
I'm tired of people
Who only want
To be pleased
But I still want
To please you

And I heard
Of that Japanese girl
Who jumped
Into The Volcano
Was she trying
To make it back
Back into the womb
Of the world?

I've been drinking
All these tears so long
All I've got left
Is the taste of salt
In my mouth

I don't know
Where I've been
But I know
Where I'm going
To that volcano
I don't want
To fall in though
Just wanna warm my bones
On that fire a while . . .
