Does that count?

Yes it does count well.
A rather good haiku too
call a plumber soon.

A Serial Haiku by ImaniOU (hey, that rhymed!)

An Ode to Jiufen on January 30, 2006

[i][color=blue]Woken up by phone
“Imani, where are you now?”
Didn’t set alarm.

Standing in the rain
Lots of taxis, but all full
Wouldn’t it figure?

Got to the station
Hopped into BuLaiEn’s car
Oops! Made a wrong turn.

Made a quick pit stop
Ogled by small-chested girls
In convenience store

Ride into Jiufen
Packed with cars - passed by walkers
God I hate traffic!

Climb up 90 stairs?
Is there no elevator?
Legs have turned to lead.

Walked into teahouse
Head is about to explode
Ah! Here comes the tea!

Ate chicken curry
Passed out my fortune cookies
Started to play games

Just wasn’t my day
Scrabble, Boggle, Rummy…
Got my butt kicked hard.

Grabbed us some dinner
The salmon was delicious
The soup? Not quite so.

After paying bill
Grabbed me some lychee candy
Best of all, it’s free!

Walked by Condom World
Walked back down the steps
Lanterns lit above

Nice quiet walk back
Had a nice conversation
While dodging taxis

Empty parking lot
Too much like a B-movie
Are those headlights there?

Ride back to Taipei
The end of a perfect day?
Well, at least it’s over.[/color][/i]
:beatnik:

No really, I had fun.

Considering the compliements that Imaniou has gotten for her writing on this board. I think her Haiku is just further confirmation that she needs to quit teaching and just become a writer. :smiley:

That’s not a haiku.
compliment her with rhythm
but I agree too.

Middle of the night
Scritching noises on my floor
Cockroach approaches

Ah what the hell, a few more…

Pungent aroma
7-11 tea egg
Brown soup steam rises

Another mistake
Is anyone editing?
Ah the Taipei Times

Brand new furniture
And some new appliances
The plastic stays on

Dinner is over
If you want to pick your teeth
Please cover your mouth

Drank some Taiwan Beer
Swallowed a cigarette butt
And formaldehyde

2 a.m. munchies
Stall around corner open
I wear my flip flops

Nails sink into seat
Taxi driver pulls lever
Engages warp drive

Boss takes clients out
Blew my whole salary on
Lapdance and blowjob

Don’t compliment me yet. There’s six syllables on that last line. The last verse on An Ode to Jiufen on January 30, 2006 should read:

Ride back to Taipei
The end of a perfect day?
At least it’s over.

writing utter tripe
yet others are entertained
on Forumosa

don’t misunderstand
haiku about utter tripe
target is myself

garbage truck drives by
a classic melody blares
trash remains inside

Taiwanese culture
traffic, neighbors, government
you don’t understand

writing a haiku
I work at 8 tomorrow
I should be in bed

eyes gazing on me
I walk as a stranger here
I am not at home

a dark moon sets
stars refuse their light to shine
holidays are gone

the thunder whispers
a secret stolen from time
and then forgotten

cat without a mouth
pink bow abomination
die Hello Kitty!

I got style
I got wit
I got a nipple
On my tit.

:bravo: :laughing:

I nominate this one for first place. :smiley:
