For Lala: The Smartass-free Communal Haiku Zone!
 

Lala, this one's for you.

5-7-5 as before, but hold the jokes.

Be serious now
Do not fark up these haiku
With your smartass lines


(Someone else has to start it, though. I lack the Serious Poet gene.)

:D

No more smart ass lines
Lapietra must act civil
Will she, or won't she:)

Don't be mistaken.
Lala suggested a moon
spoon june thread, I swear.

No goofy stuff please.
Think that Dickenson spinster
(or Joni Mitchell).

;)

Great idea! :) But I think I've forgotten how... :(

In a single night

In a single night
half a planet spins around

In a single night
half a planet spins around
Everything changes.

In a single night
half a planet spins around
weight watchers squaredance


and the point of this thread is what, exactly?

The POINT, Sir Funky, is to have one itty bitty plot of sanctuary where poetry may blossom, free of punchlines.

It is just something that came up in intermonkey discussion, that if on the offchance, a few sentimental monkeys wish to create something sincere and earnest, they will have a "safe harbor" against the likes of me (and you!).

And with that, I hereby yield the floor to my distinguished colleagues ...

weissenflatz feels free!

yeah yeah... that last one was a little too hard for me to pass up... I'll play nicely now.

let's see

[hey lala... what do you think of "ignorance" instead of "innocence"?]

I like both! :) Interesting the different connotations of each word...
