  • Takenoko no haiku

    cracking wood
    devouring bamboo by the tonne
    lazily sleeping

    — the panda

    frantic digging
    pouring love into every plant
    sweating profusely

    — the gardener

    oblivious wandering
    striding through the garden
    maintaining the illusion

    — the emperor

  • Heat of the night

    In the heat of the night
    sweat on my brow
    feeling my might
    the moment is now

    Whisper sweet nothings
    in my lovers left ear
    I hear a low huffing
    the moment is near!

    The stars were so right
    but we had no such luck
    in the heat of the night
    it was too hot to fuck

  • Ode to guides

    I love to watch you glisten
    and how you bob and swerve
    now stop telling me to listen
    you get on my fucking nerve

    — Navy

    Every time I take a step
    you demand to have a word
    but if I walk into a trap
    you're a silent, useless sword

    — Fi

  • Super haiku Bros. V

    giant lizard
    roasting his enemies
    stores axes near bridges

    — King Koopa

    blinking brightly
    high on psychedelic mushrooms
    dispatching everything

    — Mario with Superstar

  • Super haiku Bros. IV

    small dark ball
    blinking red, living only
    to explode

    — Bob-omb

    shot from a cannon
    flying slowly, and yet
    staying aloft

    — Bullet Bill

  • Super haiku Bros. III

    fluffy white ether
    shyly hiding if you look
    approaches from behind

    — Boo

    nothing but bones
    crumbling at the slightest touch
    reassembling every time

    — Dry Bones

  • Super haiku Bros. II

    flying turtle
    hovering up and down
    serving as bridge

    — Koopa Paratroopa

    big brother
    constantly throwing hammers
    defeated by small earthquake

    — Hammer Bro

  • Super haiku Bros. I

    giant chestnut
    walking steadily to the left
    falling off blocks

    — Goomba

    vigilant tortoise
    protected by its shell
    Yoshi's food

    — Koopa Troopa
