Green Day Haikus

[Sarahnade.]

Mike has long sideburns

If you put them on my face

They'd go in my mouth.

^That's great!

Mike is quite funny,

Like when he wore the jumpsuit,

Liberty bell - ding!

From http://blog.berkeleyrep.org/2009/08/we-have-a-winner.html

It would have been way too hard to pick a winner ourselves, so we let fate take a hand. We reached into the hopper and out came....

Aron of Berkeley!

Aron submitted her entry in "modern haiku," and in only 58 words (we set the limit at 60 words). With her kind permission, we'd like to share her fine work.

Prom night in Berkeley --

I buy lemonade from

Billie Joe's children.

The disenfranchised suburbanite

Hears American Idiot on the radio:

She knows it's her voice.

Hoping to win this contest,

I wonder how Tony winners

Might dance to rock music.

[Poo Flinger]

Here is the one when I wrote when Tre had to go in for knee surgery during the American Idiot tour:

I'm sad your knee hurts

I hope that you get well soon

Here's a hug for you

oh that's sweet!

[Poo Flinger]

oh that's sweet!

The one I wrote after it was not so sweet and a lot of people got angry at me... it took me about 10 seconds to come up with because I was ticked off at someone:

Knee injuries suck.

In the military they

give you 800

milligrams of the

Naproxen and tell you to

go home and if there

is only a chance

of 50% or less

that it could help you

they will not bother

to operate on the knee

I've learned to be slow

while I walk up stairs

sometimes people get upset

if I don't answer

but that is okay

the answering machine is

there for my humor

oh well... I can't judge, I don't know the story! but if you wrote I think is that the person "deserved" it...

(as long as it wasn't for Tre lol)

Someone on my answering machine said "If she hasn't picked up yet she isn't fucking going to answer" and then I heard laughing by the time I got to the top of the stairs. It was such an ornery message. LOL

haha omg, that's great!

[Poo Flinger]

Tell me when it's time

You will be King for A Day

it is holiday

[Modern Zero.]

I saw Green Day live

It didn't seem real at all

Nor does it today.

Oh, it's just for fun! No one claims to be a "professional" in poetry, but I believe that everyone can write poetry, even if they're not "professional".

Not all Haikus have to be serious either. There's nothing wrong with these Haikus. I'm sorry, but we're not hurting anyone by writing these and being creative.

anyway,I believe that ppl are just professional at making jokes out of seriuos and spiritual things.

[Moz]

No-one is perfect,

But Billie Joe really is

fucking amazing

...and Mike and Tre, but I needed 3 syllables to scan.

I'm wondering why you feel that a style of writing is spiritual/not to be done by those untrained in it?

[GreenDay808]

i just got 'Dookie'

i'm a little late on this,

but i enjoy it.

:down:

LOL. epic fail!

well actually,

tre is the most perfect guy,

i'm in love with him

haha.

[amy_runs]

Green Day, who I love

Will you save me from this hell?

Please, I know you can

[mallorymaloney]

C'mon. please don't shit on Haiku.

You must be properly a professional in poetry so that you can write Haiku. it's not a joke.

Please go take your pathetic troll antics elsewhere. Seriously.

I'd really like to know this as well.

Billie, Mike and Tre

They are the almighty gods

Do not question them!

[parinaz]

Your answer is among your Haiku!

[MusicalDeviant]

I adore Green Day

I want to sex up Tre Cool

That sexy monkey

There, I'm finished. Where's my bone shard, huh Tre?

[Modern Zero.]

Your answer is among your Haiku!

Ok....so what you're saying is, that people can't write Haikus about random/funny things? They ALL have to be serious and written by professionals? Because I may not be a professional, I write a lot of poems that are serious, but not all of them have to be that way.

We're not "murdering haikus" by having fun and being creative. There is no reason why we can't be doing this. Anyone can write poetry and express themselves whether that be in a serious way, or in a random/goofy way. We aren't hurting anyone.

You want serious/"professional"? Fine. Here:

Autumn leaves fall down

Reminds me that they are off

To Europe they'll stay

Better? Yes? No?

[Sarahnade.]

Are you seriously going to complain about people being silly in a Green Day message board?

It's all in good fun. It's a joke. It's funny. Deal with it or go to another thread. There's billions on GDC, so I'm sure you can find at least one you won't shit on.

Mass hysteria,

Has been commencing lately,

At Green Day's concerts.

Ha, I suck.
