Dun in wilderness
No natural enemy
Animals run scared

Standing next to a
Mountain and I chop it down
With edge of my hand.

The brave young poster
Writing like a sword cuts air
Kleetn is fearless

Circular motion
Will replace mudshark in your
New mythology

Smooth strokes are the best
Discipline means everything
Waxing off is fun

Good Morning, my class
We will try haiku again
Quiet back there, Kleet!

Dan if I hurt you

No, really...sorry.

Giant coral snake
Lost and confused, slithers past
Under mid-day sun.

Eyes open, mouth shut.
Public service, walk in front
Clearing spider webs.

Buzzing, biting, SPLAT!
Skeeter messed with the wrong guy.
Later, itch. Skeet wins!

Get to Dunadan?
You do get points for that
Haiku smackdown fun

Alluding in verse
Fritz writes gracefully with skill
Must I admit it?

Some people don't quit
What is the attraction here?
O.K. I'll desist
Dunadan

Doing pushups
I feel strong
Gonna hit the trail
Hike all day long
Packing my things
Where's my bong?

Wilderness Quiet Surrounds
My Sanctuary Awaits

Nice, Owl.

Back down the mountain
Nature's beauty behind me
Now, back to the grind

Rough trail and blisters
What draws us beyond comfort?
Is there freedom here?
Dunadan

dark and menacing
footsteps advance, twigs snapping
mommy? where are you?

Take the pledge.
I created this mirror site because the original page seems to have lost it's home. It speaks volumes to us pseudo-intellectual poseurs.

"It's easy to write
haikus you just stop at the
seventeenth syllab"

LOL at Frim
Fram, although each line should be
a meaningful phrase.

Jerky in hiker's pocket
Alas poor hiker

My ink pot and brush
And the rice paper he pulls
From my cold dead hands

Hampering freedom
Is good work for communists
Et tu, Violin?

Making my point
Is vital for my ego
Keep on hammering

The words just appear
Possessed by Basho I am
Not responsible
Dunadan

That last one should have been

The words just appear
I am not responsible
Possessed by Basho

The tide is too high
Current of haiku too strong

Shadows of thoughts
Unspoken, unwritten words
Whisper in the wind

Tenth day on the path
And my boots walk by themselves
This is no-mind trail.

Crunching pebble steps
Scent of pine as I pass by
The sweat is worth it.

Darkness fell

The recitations
Don't stop the waves or the cold
Zazen in a boat.

Violin is right
Kleetn should have a license
To attempt haiku.

Scattered diamond lake
Cold breath of breeze's kiss
Motionless on shore.

Counting on fingers
Grows ever more tiresome now
How am I doing?
Dunadan

Vernal equinox
While the lusty sap rises
I pull on work boots
Dunadan

Early morning fog
Dampness permeates my soul
I walk through the mist.
Fritz

Lusty sap? You cad!
Pining away for a tree?
Go find a knothole.
kleetn

Didn’t you guys hear?
Stop the haiku abuse now
Try a limerick
Violin

The haiku will stop
When the virtual yo-yo
Ceases its bouncing
Dunadan
7:40:10 AM
3/22/02

Violin wants it to stop,
Says the haikus we write are a flop
But Dunny likes haiku
And Kleety does, too
And the cream always rises to the top.
Fritz

Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, anyone?
Here with a loaf of bread beneath the bough,
A flask of wine, a book of verse and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness--
And Wilderness is Paradise enow.

There once was a fellow from NY
Who went to visit a wilderness close by,
He said, with a grin,
As he hiked himself in:
"Hello, there! You're smelly! Am I?”
Violin

There was once a man named kleetn,
Who’s name happened to rhyme with cretin.
When others came to play,
He’d hold them at bay
With the threat of a squirrel that was packin.
Violin

There once was a man named Dunadan
who was a rabid basketball fan
He took a few licks
because of picks
and now he is stuck in the can
Violin

There once was a hiker on the trail,
Who ate six bushels of snail,
It soon came to pass,
He had terrible gas,
Boy, you should have heard him wail!

There once was a Jersey Mafioso
Who tortured us all with a yo-yo
He dissed our haiku
Till his face was all blue
He's an html virtuoso.
Dunadan

There once was an internet pest
Who thought the Northwest was best
He treated his squirrel
Like a beautiful girl
And put the sex laws to the test.
Dunadan

I resemble that limerick.
kleetn

Hi, Kleetn!
How ya' been?
Dunadan
4:29:37 PM

Fine, thanks. And you?
kleetn

Violin calls for limericks then doesn't acknowledge my efforts. I am hurt!
I'm doing well, Kleet. Thanks for asking. When are you going to get down to the Sunflower State?
Dunadan
4:08:08 PM
3/25/02

Last chance!
Acknowledge my limericks, or the haiku is coming back, big time!
Dunadan
4:20:57 PM

You're acknowledged.

Now get back to work.
