HAIKU: Let's Get a Little SOPHISTIMACASHUN Up in Here. HOT ROD POETRY? Yeah, so?

stupid newbs
talk more than listen
shut up guy

 

Kind of missed the whole Haiku "Rule" of 5 - 7 - 5 didn't ya

 

It can be 3-5-3 can't it? Maybe not!!

 

Under car I lay
Wrench in hand knuckles of blood
Stop to look at grease

 

fender goes on? nope
body lines don't match worth dam
R Dot makes crap parts

 

oh to drill a hole
when plugged in makes no noise
first to fix the cord

 

late night grinder sparks
hammer sings out loud so strong
She who keeps me here

 

dropped nut rolls so far
oh so small where do you hide?
you have found the oil

 

tires scream Flathead roars
sideways fast past ricer boys
see my ford tail lights?

 

cruise home check in hamb
3 more pm's ask today
where from is avatar?

 

speed and watch temp gauge
sixty miles two twelve degrees
stop for water soon

 

forty nine merc's for me
just rattle creak varoom and groan
in perfect harmony

 

Stromberg 97 has had me laughing for a good five minutes. Thanks for sharing those!

 

Zombie Threads
wise counsel and tech
valued friends are gone or dead
newbie resurrected

 

Adopted from Burma Shave:

He lit up a match
To check level of gas tank
He's now, Skinless Frank

 

What ever happened to KIRK!

 

Had a '55
Very solid, very straight
Should have kept that one

 

Hello,

Art is in the eye of the beholder. However it is drawn, what comes out on paper, erasures, crooked lines and all, still pushes the design forward to a custom car of sorts. Thoughts, as related to a “Haiku” are a little tricky. Tricky in the sense that one has rules for a “Haiku” format. (5-7-5) That sounds like an old clothing store for women, 5-7-9 shops that almost every shopping center and mall in America had at one time or another.

I really like hot rods,

I like to draw them daily

Hot rod art is cool…

My wife was writing Haiku in college and I always saw them on her class notes scribbling… They were interesting ways to put down thoughts and anyone who reads them would just think them as poetry for an English Class. YRMV


plain, lowered + custom + lowered rake

 

Haiku is a Japanese verse form that consists of three lines with 17 syllables in total:

• Line 1: 5 syllables SOMETIMES,HOT RODS ARE NICE
• Line 2: 7 syllables OTHER TIMES THEY ARE NOT SO NICE
• Line 3: 5 syllables BUILD ONE ON YOUR OWN

Hello,

Haiku is an unusual form of writing. It has rhythm and function. Following the rules laid out for it has its rewards. We learned about various forms of writing in high school, but, in the college english classes, expanded on the style a little more. My wife had skills in this style of writing a short form of poetry for her assignments. Reading those on a sunny day always made my involvement challenging to say the least. She had the skills and it showed in the writings.

Nice:

Not so nice:

Build one:

Even though these hot rods are posted as examples, the lowered coupe has nice scallops… but, not for long distance driving and daily comfort…YRMV
