HAIKU

Collected Haiku
Poems by Arthur Chappell.
Hope you enjoy them.

Ugly hunchback dwarf
You won't drown like that young fool
Brother Narcissus

Politically correct
Puritans in sheep's clothing
Stop your smiling now.

They let King Midas
Join the Greek Masonic guild
Taught him the handshake ?????

Raise The Iceberg, James
Cameron's Sequel sinks fast
As the bank plays on.

Freedom! Liberty!
Fraternity! Make them mean
More than making money.

Express interest
In more than you believe. Truth
(And lies) are out there.

Wedge open your mind
But not so far that your brains
Fall out of your head.

Aquarians will
Realize that their star signs
For today are crap.

Millionth inmate
Wins instant parole and kills
again on release.

Somebody's thinking
Did Socrates leave a drop
Of Hemlock for him?

Unhappy Heaven
Let me in but not my Father
Now we're both in Hell.

Bleeding to death
In the phone box you smashed up
Try calling for help.

Family Tree bug?
Dad done the archive work. Just
Claim his findings yours.

Poor unknown Soldier
I won't tell the world I know
Who you are. Sleep on.

Abandon your hope
All ye who enter here say
Both sides of the sign.

The Information
Super cul-de-sac welcomes
All you anoraks.

In the beginning
God said "Stuff it! I can't
Be bothered today."

Zen's art of one hand
Clapping on your head telling
You to get a life.

Steer clear of quicksand
Avoid that sinking feeling
Quagmirable one.

The meaning of life
Is to stop searching for it
Just enjoy yourself.

Atlantis welcomes
Careful divers, so will we
Stop global warming?

TARDIS propped on bricks.
Doors gone. Glasgow landing worse
Since Dalek home world.

Those about to die
Salute you, middle fingers
Raised high for Caesar.

Just what drugs was Don
Quixote smoking to take
Windmills for giants?

. Lassie meets Flipper
And This time it's Personal
Sequel starved masses.

Booing Karaoke
Ken off the stage the cowards
Aren't singing themselves.

Shall I compare thee
To a Summer's day? Thou art ....
Yes! It fits! It fits!

Vampire Dolphin bites
Blood tastes better than plankton
Too cute to stake out.

Haiku time has gone
Bed and early rising call
No more writing now

Daily haiku piece
Some might well get accepted
Scattergun effect.

Ceecrops seeks salvage
Rights from The Flying Dutchman
Expect long dispute.

New Age spring clean time
Throw this book away right now
Feng shui your dustbin.

Open up your mind
Let all your ideas fall out
Use our thoughts instead.
