A Week in Review Through Haikus [1-11-09]

By Jake

A feature that I would like to keep up is a week in review told through the Chinese poetry known as the haiku. Don't get it confused with former WWF wrestler King Haku. Also, if you'd like to request subjects for haikus, feel free to email me at jake@oneyearintexas.com.

  1. Jake, I never thanked you for these haikus. I have loved haikus since I was a little boy. I would walk to the library on weekends and read Basho, and then think about 17th century Japan during commercial breaks of the Fox afternoon movie (either Overboard, or Beverly Hill Cop).

  2. This is going to be a weekly feature. I love haikus, too. They are the only kind of poetry I find legitimate besides rapping (because they talk about things like hos, bitches, weed, money, purple drink and 'hittin it raw').
