Grunt brothers haiku

I wrote these haiku
one for each of the Grunt boys
which one is for which?






needles, thread, fabric
he presses the pedal down
she'll wear it often



after work, he cleans
he studies, takes out the trash
he doesn't say much



he has two options
eat ketchup chips or jerk off
it's time for a bath

LOL! Short but sweet ;) Ripp's was funny :D

So you're actually published? I've written poetry in the past, no idea as of now what to do with them. I prefer prose too, although I need to stop myself rambling - I do that a lot with series :-\

Yeah, that's the beauty of haiku. You get right down to essentials. (Also, I'm proud of myself for using "jerk off" in a poem.)

Yeah, it's just a little thing, but it still counts, right? I probably could have kept going with it, but I grew weary of it in the same way I did with academic art. It was a fun experience, though.

You should send them in to some magazines or something. There are tonnes of them out there for that sort of thing. If you have some ready to go, then why not? ^_^
