I dislike haiku
it leaves me quite unfulfilled
unlike other things.
I’m part Japanese
But I have to tell you this:
Haiku is dullsville.
When I was seven
I visited relatives
in Japan (by plane.)
The truth of it is
I prefer rhyming poems
with a clear message.
5 to 7 to 5
talk about a freakin’ DRAG
(…in Hokkaido mists)
Leaves upon water
after harvest festival
make me want to sleep
Children flying kites:
Kyoto monastery yard;
Basho-San, I’m bored
Rain upon bamboo
circles upon the carp pool…
Hey – what’s on TV ?
CONNECT/HOOK 
I don’t like this form.
I just barely get started
And I run out of
(Not original with me.)

I just find it is too limiting – and I am message -oriented. I like poetry that preaches and mocks.

I feel that. But it still hurts, Drew. It still hurts that you don’t like haiku. See what I did there?

By plane? Did you get off the plane? Must have been a quick visit…
The poet declares he
Will write no more Haiku starting
Now. No. Really. Now…
