THE LOST LIMERICKS: YANN MARTELL
Adrift with young Pi from the zoo
And having dispensed with the crew
A tiger who's empty
Can't help but be tempted
To have his Pi, and eat him too.

Dirty Haiku Thursdays forever!
While the idea that haiku is a seventeen-syllable poem has some use for the purpose of introducing haiku to children, it glosses over the fact that content and treatment of subject matter are what definitely distinguishes haiku from other kinds of poetry ....
Humor is an important element in haiku,
but ironic moments are more generally
more appropriate to senryu styles poems.
Haiku is similar to haiku in form
Senryu is very different in effect
Ya captured something to ponder
....
Haiku relates nature to human nature,
Senryu is concerned with human nature,
pure and
so simple.
