Haiku

I have been trying To write a Haiku for you Some things I just can't do Maybe you're beyond Ancient Asian Poetry Or maybe it's just me I have been trying To get this Haiku Just right All night For you All right I'm through Maybe this poem Was lost in the sauce we spilled That never got refilled I've never thought much Of formulaic verse anyway And rhymes are not my fort(e) I have been trying To get this Haiku Just right All night For you All right I'm through I'm trying not to try too hard But you're hard to write down right So I pen these tried attempts At Haikus for you tonight La Da De Diddum La Da Da Dum Do Diddle Dum Do La De Do There that's sufficent I wrote a Haiku for you Well I tried at least And that's not so bad I'm working here Can that be said for you? I'm trying not to try to hard But you're hard right down right So I pen these tried attempts At Haikus for you tonight Words don't work like Webster says They trip me up all night I'm just trying to write for you But you're hard to write down right --- Haiku - Tally Hall
