Good Evening.

the concept of retarded haiku was accidentally invented by Slidebite.
He encouraged me. So, blame HIM.


This is haiku about retards, or composed by retards, or just inherently 'tardesque.
We begin:


Retarded haiku
Is like a moronic bard
Enlightening dog

Enlightened dog spoke
At great length of bones and food
Silence flees away

Dog spoke yet further
Of squirrels and Frisbees -Oh!
How to silence cur

Golden silence back
Dog that spoke was quite trusting
A fine supper now





A slow Zen master
Napped in barnyard with three goats
Awoke without shoes

Goes to rest in bed
Finds soft coverlet eaten
Closes door at once

Searching for foot-gear
Finds dung heap with two laces
Goatskin soft on feet

Then slideth his bite!

His ailment, to me
came surely as no surprise
He hated Citrus!

Reading aloud helps
to keep track of syllables
but it feels stupid.

Count: Five-seven-five
then just throw in some small words
to keep your count right.

I wish I had weed!
At least I'd have an excuse
for being this bored.

So don't. Stay here with me.

A retarded man
A window glazed with spittle
his parents long dead

A swooshing, quickly
and ripples across the pond
An empty wheelchair

Let's get retarded
Let's get retarded in here
Let's get retarded

Silence rings out
once thorazine brings relief
Only to the nurse

A man got stung
by a bee smarter than him
Anaphylaxis

The 'X' is a voiceless velar fricative.


I never really got the point of creating haiku in English; the original poem structure is not based on syllables, but rather morae or on. On are different than syllables. Final -n is an on, as well as lengthening vowels. It simply doesn't work well with the language, so most of the time, poets just ignore it and go for the essence of minimalism.

There are two additional constraints worth noting, even if you ignore that. One is the concept of kiru, "cutting"; haiku must juxtapose between different concepts. The other is the notion of an interposed seasonal element. There is a closed class of words from which you are supposed to pick for this.

Even so, I leave you with this bit inspired by convention-going:


The moon rises
and wolf-shirts gather--
Indoors?
