Haiku Genie by ~MiNTYFrESH-13:iconMiNTYFrESH-13:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Humor > Haiku & Eastern


A Japanese man.
professor of history,
came upon a lamp.

He rubbed the sides clean,
and from a bright white light,
there came a genie.

"I shall grant one wish,"
the genie said to the man,
"what should I give you?"

The man thought deeply,
his mind on Japan's culture,
and then he replied.

What he said was this:
"I want all to speak haiku."
And it was made so.

Later at the school,
his class found out what he did,
and beat him to death.

A stupid idea,
what if I wrote some haikus,
to make a whole tale.

Special thanks to her -> (:iconferengcheng:),
who's recent works have been these;
Japanese poems.

Favorites are nice,
comment this if you like it,
I eat small children.

I searched for a way,
to say I liked your haiku.
I found only this.

:rofl:

but if we do not torture the words, how will we ever know their full meaning.

I inspired you?
I love that last stanza. It's so straight to the point, and blunt, like a club to the head.

Inspired in the sense that you wrote about 3 or 4 haiku('s?) recently, and therefore made me want to try it, with my own stupid little twist of epicness.

Thanks. Hopefully it wasn't painful like a club to the head. :)
