Subject: Grateful Dead haikus From: PoppaGator Date: 14 Jan 05 - 12:45 AM [Email from my brother]: This was prompted by someone posting: "I want to see haikus for every year" Many obscure references ensue, but it's worth reading the next 60 or so messages for the giggles http://deadnetcentral.com/WebX?14@139.HsVUaaLqz7Q.9@.3b9e307d/2240 [Me again]: After the 2d or 3d page of haiku-submissions, some of the messages get into a "how-to" discussion about writing haiku, including talk of Jack Keroac's theory of American Haiku. Some participants in the forum are notably less interested in this than others. I'm sure that *some* of you Mudcatters will appreciate this... |
Subject: RE: BS: Grateful Dead haikus From: PoppaGator Date: 14 Jan 05 - 10:22 AM My bad -- should have labelled this as "BS." (Maybe there'd have been a response or two by now if this had been posted in the right place.) |

Subject: RE: Grateful Dead haikus From: Rapparee Date: 14 Jan 05 - 11:46 AM Limericks are another matter: A band now know as the Dead, Were Grateful to every head Who thought them the best So they played without rest -- Now Garcia's an ice cream instead. |
Subject: RE: Grateful Dead haikus From: PoppaGator Date: 14 Jan 05 - 01:45 PM Way to go, Mandotim & Rapaire! I was kinda hoping this would develop into a "challenge" of sorts. I had thought it most likely that the form (haiku) would be preserved while the subject matter (Dead) might change, but Rap pulled a switcheroo by contributing a Grateful Dead limerick. All combinations and permutations are welcome, as long as they're silly. I'd participate myself, but I'm an essayist at heart, not a poet... |
