critique 2

I think that Haiku, and Senryu as a form of poetry can be interesting in many ways. There are some things about Senryu that are very interesting and more variable than the Haiku, but I think that my favorite thing about these forms is the several forms of bastardization of this poetry. Haiku and Senryu are great styles for poetic humor and slight changing of the rules. Maybe instead of 5, 7, 5 lining, you have 3 or 4 at the end, but I think that these poems are great when focused on a specific theme. The best Haiku sequences I have read were off a hippie jam band forum that my friend sent me over thanksgiving, they were all ridiculously inappropriate but still well written. My favorite one was about a hippie who was dosed on acid during thanksgiving, when they carve the turkey, it appears still alive to the hallucinating hippie. This was something that showed me a very funny and interesting dynamic for a simple form of poetry like the haiku.
