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

Today H.A.M.B stands for Haiku Appreciation Message Board.

Shhhh, just let the worldliness wash over you.

The formula is 5 syllables -7 syllables - 5 syllables

Let's read your Haikus
They should be about hot rods
Why are you waiting?




Driveshaft

Oh spinning steel tube
Underappreciated
Ever-faithful tube


Stromberg 97

Why do you leak so?
You seem to need a diaper
Love you anyway


Cheater Slick

Why always cheating?
Why not just follow the rules?
Your groove fools no one


Deuce Roadster

OK already
Just how many do we need?
Oh, you’re steel? So what


The Bug

Not much there, I see
Just where is the rest of you?
So little, so great


Photo Bimbo

Hey, get off my car!
It’s not yours, dolled-up slut clown
Go find a rat rod


Rat Rodder

Yes, you built your car
I can tell, it looks like shit
Garbage is not cool


Flathead

You’re inefficient
Yet there is no one cooler
I’m OK with that


Rally Wheel

Why are you on there?
You are not a hot rod part
Stay out of white walls


Lower in the Back

Just kustoms tail-drag
You’re hot rod looks dumb ass-low
Please stop already


Bonneville

Am I on the moon?
I thought it was made of cheese
Apparently not


Name My Car

Please help with a name
‘Cause I need help being cool
Cum Dumpster sounds good


Traditional

I give myself rules
I will emulate the past
I’m a hot rod nerd


The Start

Two lanes down to there
Heart beats, waiting for the tree
Horsepower at foot


Lawn Chair

You hold that old man
Make him get up and see cars
Don’t come here again


Rat Rod

Spiderwebs and skulls
Rubber rats and a street sign
The whole thing’s just wrong


Chop Top

Take some off the top
Oh yes, you CAN cut too much
Should look natural


Good Kustom

Good taste is the key
Make it look better than stock
Sleek, smooth, long and low


Bad Kustom

You wanted it cool
But you took it WAY too far
Now you just look dumb

 

my faves; rally wheel and traditional. 'hot rod nerd'...

 

Photo Bimbo and Rally Wheel are my favorite.

Big beautiful fins
Chrome dripping from front to back
Cruise on down the road

It made me laugh, so what

The Fonz

Where has Fonzi gone?
I noticed his pants for sale.
His faves made me smile.

 

Mentor.

I know a Legend.
Taught me everything I know.
I call him my dad.

 

Scrub Line

Your car is too low
I know you think it looks cool
Flat tires really do suck.

 

Peculiar thread,
What is the point of this?
Shut it down now.



Just kidding homie,
I think Haiku is alright,
Write on my friend.

~~~

I think I don't know what a syllable is... like the last letter on most words seem to be another sound. Help a poor fool?

 

inspirational, suddenly I crave a latte better yet tea and crumpets

 

Convertable

cruising with no top
i look up and see the stars
wind envelops me

 

Floor.

U-joint spinning fast
its right next to your leg pal
its going to hurt.

 

Roadsters are red
Hardtops are blue
I like spagetti
