Grand

Post by fearfaoin »

When your post count reaches to a thousand
The chiffboard's voice is raised up loud, and
You're "Hip"-"Hooray"ed (though you think that you're not worthy)

I mean, what makes 1000 so profound?
I guess ... that you could say it's... round,
But it's only zeros that make it seem seem so curvy.

"Besides," you think, "my posts aren't that great.
"I made people mad in at least thirty-eight,
"And forty of 'em where nothing but a smiley!"

You're glad these folks are tolerant though,
You'll annoy them sooner or later, you know,
When you start asking questions about playing the Hurdy-Gurdy.

Hooray! :party:
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

Wow, look at the timing of those three posts. :D :o

Well done Fearfoin,
Neat little verse.

Slan,
D. :)
And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

Congratulations, fearfaoin and welcome to the lounge! I always enjoy your posts and appreciate how willingly you took the Haiku Rap bait.

Oy. That way madness lies.
I don't even want to think about the war that errupted between the
West Coast Haiku Homeboys and the East Coast Hokku Gangstas.
Why Tupac Basho had to take the fall for the polly-syllabic sins of one
Notorious K.I.G.O., I'll never be able to guess.

But, I'll never forget one of The Beasty Buddhas' early hits:

"The snails climb Mount Fugi, but ever so slow
I really love the springtime, cause that's when winds blow
I pass by a quiet stream, where will it flow?
Birds are eating Shiki's corn, despite the scarecrow!"
Keep 'em coming!

Btw, does the rhyme scheme you used in your poem (nice!) have a name?

Carol
