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

Oooo! Buck, Tank, Ripp. Hee. :D

Those are really good! I love haiku.

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 :-\

LOL at the last poem! What a contrast compared to his brothers' activities! :D

I like these small poems. I'm always in awe when people can tell a short story or an idea in just a few lines. I tend to go on and on and on when I write, so to keep things short is extremely difficult to me. I even cheat when I join drabble challenges!

A couple years ago, I had a calendar that had a quote from a famous writer for each day. My favorite was one from Antón Chéjov: "Brevity and talent go hand in hand" :D (and I had it posted on my cork board when I was working on my thesis as a reminder)

You're published? Neat! You should send these in, if only to get the reactions of the magazine people/whomever

I love these! It wasn't that hard to guess. ;)

Also, it's so cool that you're published! That's awesome.

""he doesn't say much""

that haunts me and yet as much as I am in love with Ripp, if the Grunt boys were real, I think I will liek Buck for who he is, always have a crush on Ripp but my heart would belong to Tank. Oh Tank. :D

Just call me Tank's girl.

Awww. Tank's sounds a lot like Francis to me, which makes me think they ARE perfect for each other (even though you've made me a diehard Beau/Francis shipper).

Heh. I just realised there's three so you can play the "boff, marry, kill" game :P
