Just One of Those

Pale morning sun
Rises softly in the East.
Monday again. F***.

You’re Welcome

I can cause you pain

There’s No Haiku Like Home

Beige fields of wheat
As far as the eye can see.
In Kansas again.

Haiku: Do’s and Don’t’s

This is a haiku.

Seven syllables this line.

First and last have five.

 

This haiku is bad.

Do not write one that’s like this.

That would be a mistake.

I don’t feel like writing much.

Thus, this haiku post.

Google’s Humor

Why are things funny?

That’s a very good question,

And worth googling.

 

I decided to

Search for “Funny Picture.” Well,

Here’s the first result:

 

 

So, by Google’s thoughts

Coffee tables are funny.

Never would have guessed!

Thinking

What makes human beings

Different from those other beasts?

Some think it’s thinking.

 

This theory assumes

Other creatures cannot think.

While that might be true…

 

Humans also lack

This innate ability

That lets their brains think.

 

Here are examples:

People at four-way stop signs,

Rap, taxes, Denny’s.

An Open Letter (in Haiku) to Rebecca Black

 

Dear Rebecca Black,

This note is addressed to you.

Thus the line above.

 

I would like to say

Your song Friday changed my life.

Let me count the ways:

 

I never slowed down

To sing about my routine

‘Fore I go to school.

 

I had never thought

About which seat I should take.

Front or back?  Which one?

 

I also did learn

That people like partying

On the weekends, yeah!

 

Let us not forget

That Thursday’s what comes before

Friday.  What a fact!

 

Thus this letter ends.

With my profound gratitude,

Signed David Kappele
