Haiku, squared



Meta-Haiku
by Erik Jorgensen - copyright 2013


corned beef and cabbage
not just for St Patrick's Day
Leprechaun Haiku

            One tall frosty mug
            One scoop vanilla ice cream
            Fill with cold root beer

An Object at Rest.
External Force is applied
Object in Motion

            Five syllables first
            Seven on the second line
            Five more syllables

there was a Haiku
Limerick rhythm line two
not all the lines rhymed

=========================================

In a big country
dreams stay with you; run and hide
'cross the mountain side

            Devo: Crack that whip!
            when a problem comes along
            Whip It - Whip It Good

1984
Orwell was an optimist
legalize ThoughtCrime

            groovin energy
            take me down to funkytown
            town thats right for me

freedom of music
on invisible airwaves
bristling energy

            words of the prophets
            written on the subway walls
            The Sounds of Silence

dance if you want to
you can leave your friends behind
they're no friends of mine


=========================================

Socrates: a man
"All Men are Mortal"; therefore:
Socrates: mortal

            tree with three square roots
            noose hanging from a
            hypotenuse

sum of two square sides
square of the hypotenuse
Pythagoreas

            squared hypotenuse
            sum of square of other sides
            diagonal line

It's invisible
but only to me, not you.
the back of my head
