Sabbath Poetry Part Deux

Megan visited today!!!!!

Excitement around!
Megan would like to see Chess.
One night in Bangkok!

Aja lives in York -
The new one, not the old one.
Sometimes we miss her.

Megan teaches school,
Just like Anne of Green Gables -
But without red hair.

Sabbath day haiku
Can really enrich our lives
And keep us awake.

Willa Cather, puke,
Barf, wretch, vomit, up-chuck, hurl.
I've no love for her.

Pierce Brosnan should be
In a production of Chess.
He's "good" at Abba.

Sometimes I miss T.,
My tall artsy girlfriend who
Comes to visit me.

I don't miss Heidi.
We're fighting, but I can't seem
To remember why.

I like to believe
That I am a serious
Poetry artist.

When Megan saw that I was writing haiku, she jumped in on the action, too. Here's the best part: she did not see what I was writing about. These were what she came up with on her own. Great minds...

Jeremy, direct!
(A squeaky clean Chess version)
Are there John Wayne fans?

Treat weird people well.
If not, you will squirm and burn.
The prophet said so.

Phantom songs are nice
Unless they are on repeat.
Wait, I've heard this song!

Kleenex box on stand
Only one person used so far.
Are they too rough, huh?

Mission companions
Some can be real bums.
Don't tell their moms, though.

(Modified Haiku)
Heidi's in Dallas
Taryn's in lovely D.C.
Aja's in New York, New York.
Who's in Toledo?

***

Creepy, eh? Then Megan read mine, and came up with some responses to some of mine.

Oh, Jeremy, son.
Have mercy on Ms. Cather.
Blame UVSC.

Jeremy is mad.
Artsy girlfriends run away
To the CIA.

(Re: Heidi)
Call a truce you two
Share a cupcake and then
Chat on Facebook soon.

Irony is fun.
It rhymes with Jeremy, yo!
Pierce Brosnan can't sing.

  1. Whoooo!!! I got a haiku! :)

    And, yeah. Pierce Brosnan is an "awesome" singer...cast him instead of the BYU guy.

  2. Whoohoo! I've been published! I really think we should create an anthology of our Sunday haiku, hmmm, entitled, "In Our Lovely Sabbath Haiku"? "And Eat But Very Little Haiku"? "Should You Hie to Haiku"? or maybe, "Welcome, Welcome, Sabbath Haiku"? It was such a privilege to visit. Taryn is so rude for dumping you; she's probably regretting it now that she's seen your Haiku.
