How I hate you, Haiku

Could Japan not give us any better

Than haiku’s flimsy feather?

Oh, don’t act surprised;

Just allow me to reprise.

Let’s try this one more time.

It speaks of nature’s call;

It tells of mortal’s fall;

It gives us all the feels.

Please let history repeal

The crack that this has made

In poetry’s once beautiful shade.

I’m sorry, I really tried that time.

If haiku reveals to you

A world worth singing to;

Your tastes are simple,

A short lived pimple

Only needing to be popped.

Author's Note

Oh boy are y'all in for a treat tonight. I couldn't sleep and decided to browse around here and ran into a couple of haiku poems, if you really wish to call them poetry, an I got pissed off. So enjoy the read.

Aww, I really like haikus. It's like limericks when they are written by amusing witty people it's art. You must have come across really s****y ones

Haiku are definitely not everyone's cup of tea but Japanese culture and art often stress the beauty in simplicity. There is something about boiling down your thoughts into the least amount of words it takes to say something grand. I personally enjoy short poems and well-written haiku but I will be the first to admit that there are a lot of terrible ones everywhere. I like how you express your opinion in this piece, even if it is different than mine. My favorite line is "haiku’s flimsy feather" ☺
