this one came to me in a dream:

emotional soup:
add salt to taste, heat, stir well
inhale steam deeply

dreaming in haiku
a syllable here, word there
it's insidious

Insidious dreams?
That sounds rather unpleasant.
My dreams are in prose.

If haiku is bla
you need more bla bla to fill
for bla to be bla

(For some its
only three, five, three
ask around.)

But 'bla' is no good
It just hasn't the content
that a haiku should

Spam not, for word is
art. Utter eloquently,
mull over one's feelings.

Well said. I concur
A haiku should say something
and not be just spam

This is murder rap, I'll burn his back and push your sternum back
And have the doctor cover your head just like a turban wrap
A certain fact, you'll be prayin' on a Persian mat
Or hopin' Jesus or the police's bring the person back.
