What's A Haiku?
| Haiku
is an ancient form of poetry that orginated far, far east of us in
a country known as "Asia". Asia had many wise men a long time ago
that were very smart and came up with many new inventions that we
still use today, like chopsticks and firecrackers. One of their literary
inventions was the poetry form known as "Haiku".
Haiku,
pronounced "Hai - Ku", is an unrhymed poem composed of three lines.
The first line has five syllables, the second has seven, and the
third and final line has five again. Here is an example:
|
|
 |
Wind whistles through trees,
Sun shines down and birds sing as
I pee in your mouth.

 |
As
you can see both the first and third lines have five syllables and the second
has seven. Given the unrhyming nature of the poem this can safely be considered
a "Haiku."
Many
of the wise men in Asia believed that the essence of a true Haiku is capturing
a moment in which nature is linked to human nature. There are those who
would say that the Haiku's true purpose is to describe the little epiphanies
that occur when surrounded by Nature's splendor.
We
are not those people.
Here
at DirtyHaikus.com we don't know much about nature, splendor, or even
what "epiphany" means. What we do know is that words like "fuck", "shit",
"asshole" and "manjam" can be pretty damn funny at times.

you will appreciate what we are trying to do here. We believe that art should
be shared with others, and the only good taste is bad taste. Lacking any moral
functioning in our depraved minds, we gladly accept all outlooks on life, no
matter how twisted, offensive, vulgar, and filled with potty jokes they may
be.
