Some Punknews Haikus

So on August the 12th in the year of our lord 2008, Punknews' favorite son, MattRamone, challenged yours truly to a haiku-off. I accepted. Here are the results as best I could find them on the website. Thank you to all contributers. The word document I copied them into was 15 pages long.

MattRamone

Flailing white pre teens
I hope their plugs get ripped out
Make them cry for real

Scientistrock

Death by Senses Fail
Hell's fire could not be worse.
I hope death is swift.

MattRamone

I will greet you sir
On the haiku battlefield
I'll bring Capri Sun

Scientistrock

The gauntlet is thrown.
Prepare for my victory.
Epic fail is yours.

MattRamone

Before the day ends
You will shed tears like Pete Wentz
Call the wahmbulance

Scientistrock

And so it begins.
Are you ready for this, Matt?
Triumph will be mine.

MattRamone

When Ronnie Radke
Is in the prison shower
Won't fail to drop soap

Scientistrock

Max Bemis is Stoked
Whenever we mention him.
Too bad he's a fag.

MattRamone

When news is posted
I look for where someone exclaims
"GASLIGHT ANTHEM LEAKED!!!!"

Scientistrock

Brain Fallon's dick
Like sugar fresh from the cane.
He makes me confused.

MattRamone

We're all gay for him
Looks like we'll have to settle
For twin Thus_Spoke_Sean

Scientistrock

Sleeve-tats to knuckles
Bring me to the Middle East
Where they made me gay.

MattRamone

Onto other news
Saul William's an asshole
Enjoy your Nike's

Scientistrock

Metro Staion is
The worst thing to ever be.
And that includes aids.

MattRamone

Hawthorne Heights O.D.
Not really all that tragic
One down, four to go

Scientistrock

Victory Records
Is Satan's dick of music.
May they all die soon.

MattRamone

Attention AP
13 year old girls are not
The most critical fans

Scientistrock

Hot Water Music
Reunited and AP
Gave some douche the front.

MattRamone

I listen to them
Pretty much exclusively
I'm slow, old, and strange

Scientistrock

Saw them and some dudes
From some shitty band from the
Windiest of towns.

MattRamone

Speaking of feelings
Brought on by men with sleeve tats
I woudl touch Brendan

Scientistrock

His dick is smaller
Than Chris's (some interview).
Not proud to know that.

MattRamone

New Hopeless bands, though...
I want to stab their eyeballs
With a cigarette

Scientistrock

Yeah, what the hell, man?
Versus God! Fucking...Come on!
"Let's scream or something."

MattRamone

It's appropriate
At their nadir they sign a
Band called All Time Low

Scientistrock

No Idea will
Someday sign a shitty band,
And our world will end.

MattRamone

I hope on that day
I will be found sitting
Six feet underground

Scientistrock

Or at least buried
In empty cans, blue ribbons
Upon them, crying.

MattRamone

When some emo teen
Posts "no idea r00lz u gais!"
I will kill myself

Scientistrock

No Idea Records
Signs "Blood bleeds like bloody blood."
Bullets enter me.

MattRamone

"Red Scare Morphs Into
A Straight Edge Hardcore Label"
I bleed in the tub

Scientistrock

"Asian Man Records
Moves out of Mike Park's garage."
The world really ends.

MattRamone

Virgil announces
That vinyl's a dead format
Life's not worth it now

Scientistrock

Don't even say that.
I'd rather be dead than live
In that kind of world.

MattRamone

Punk seven inches
Are what make the world go 'round
CD EPs blow

Scientistrock

What is the point of
A CDEP? There is
So much waste right there.

MattRamone

It's like restaurants
That use huge plates for small food
Fuck, what's the point, man?

Scientistrock

No colored CDs.
Man, that shit's fucking boring.
Give me red splatter!

MattRamone

The new Fake Problems
Splatter seven inch record
Is hot like org girls

Scientistrock

The cutest org girl
Couldn't beat the beauty of
My Larries' LPs.

MattRamone

I have Apathy
On clear green. I paid eight bucks.
Suck it, record nerds.

Archangel

Just how did I miss
a PunkNews haiku contest?
How do I get in?

MattRamone

Scientistrock might
Call a new one tomorrow
Step up to the streets

Scientistrock

If you are willing,
I will throw down yet again.
I am unemployed.

MattRamone

Having a girlfriend
Who pays almost all the bills
Is fucking awesome

HumanUnkind

quote unquote becomes
a part of the warner group
punk is really dead

MattRamone

Sire signs Against Me!
That will not ever happen
...oh Christ on a crutch

Scientistrock

BTMI puts
Out a physical release.
Oh shit! We're too late!

HumanUnkind

O Pioneers!!! drop
an exclamation mark or
two! no not really!!!

Scientistrock

We up the punx by
Upping the punxuation
To paraphrase Jeff.

ForgetThisPlace

I would still bang him
And it's not gay because I'm
one of the few girls.

Scientistrock

I would do the same
But it's totally not gay
Because you get one.

MattRamone

I always forget
That females post on this site
We're essentially pigs

Scientistrock

Last Navel Gazing
Scared new ones away I bet.
Beard dudes salivate.

ForgetThisPlace

Some beards can be hot.
Along with full-sleeve tattoos.
Sean: new 'org heartthrob?

Scientistrock

He looks like Fallon.
Tricked some of the dudes like Me.
We're gay for gaslight.

ForgetThisPlace

Does that make him the
'Unisex 'org fantasy'?
Guys and girls both drool.

ScientistRock

He is creeped out now.
Oh well, does anyone care?
Hold onto your butt!

ForgetThisPlace

The 'org: Sausage fest.
Bound to be guy on guy love.
Little bit creepy.

Scientistrock

Hence why we explode
When girls announce their presence.
Boners must abound!

ForgetThisPlace

Girls are hard to find.
Always mistaken for dudes.
I need a smoke...man.

MattRamone

We can't help the fact
That we're all so damn studly
And punk girls dig jerks

He is a hottie
He and acris should have kids
They would be gorgeous

Oh hai thurr qt
I like Avail and drinking
Don't care you're 16

Scientistrock

Too bad we all got
Beer guts like pregnant women.
And my beard gets gross.

MattRamone

A beer gut's a sign
That we know how to party
Moshing is fitness

Scientistrock

You screw like you dance.
What does that mean for us punks?
It sure ain't pretty.

MattRamone

I hit my girlfriend
During sex. She responds with
Karate spin kicks

Scientistrock

It's just a push fest.
Bodies fly everywhere.
I'm kicked in the head.

MattRamone

I'm sure that this Fest
Will be one big dot ORGy
Beards and lube for all

sXenester

Hello, Fred Knuckles
Craig Finn fighting Sir Fallon
Everywhere, we cum

Scientistrock

Brother v brother.
How can I pick the right side?
Either way we lose.

sXenester

Old men, shoes, cliche,
longwinded, springsteen, and etc
kill me, joe Jackson

Scientistrock

Don't fuck with Jersey.
Those landfills ain't just garbage
If you get my drift.

MattRamone

Not saying that we'll
Do something, but shit happens
People fall down stairs

Scientistrock

They’re building a new
Giants Stadium, right now.
Don't get Hoffa'd yo.

Lostandclowned

Mike has not called yet
I am watching "The Wire."
This is a haiku.

Scientistrock

Who's to say that we
Need to practice today yo?
There's still tomorrow.

Lostandclowned

That may very well be
But I feel like it today
Where did this joke start?

Scientistrock

MattRamone haiku'd
In one of yesterday's bad
Bands' megatour threads.

HumanUnkind

haikus are punk rock
just like pbr and tats,
chin beards and gaslight

Scientistrock

They are the punkest
Of poetic forms you know.
They would have mohawks.

MattRamone

And scream "fuck you, dad!"
While wearing a flannel shirt
And a Castro hat

HumanUnkind

blank verse is emo
reading it is like crying
when you hear dashboard

MattRamone

It's not poetry
If it's just sentence fragments
Kids today suck it

Scientistrock

No man was punker
Than Masaoka Shiki.
Walt Whitman, emo.

MattRamone

Walt Whitman sucks hard
So does Thoreau. My Amer.
Lit class was not great

Scientistrock

I can handle them
Both, but I have to because
Lit is all I take.

HumanUnkind

Imagism rocks
short poems by some great minds
Ezra pound rocks

MattRamone

I prefer lyrics
According to my girlfriend.
She's probably right.

Scientistrock

I'm more into prose.
John Steinbeck is why I write.
I don't get poems.

HumanUnkind

Poems are not fun
nathanael west is the best
he only wrote books

Lostandclowned

worker bees can leave
even drones can fly away
the queen is their slave

(Plagiarize much, ed.)

Scientistrock

America is
Not doing to well at this
Game of Baseball, geez.

(I believe the US Olympic team lost to Korea, ed.)

Lostandclowned

i have never read
"Walden" in full. However,
I have read parts.

In a summary
i read, i liked the part on
the depth of the pond.

Scientistrock

I "read" Cape Cod, but
I did not really read it.
I talk good bull shit.

Lostandclowned

i haven't used my hand
to count more since learning how
to borrow in math.

Scientistrock

Not sure I buy that.
How did you jerk off Dave Grohl?
You just got pwn'd bitch!

Time to go running,
But I will return with more
Haikus than before!

MattRamone

I call a draw, sir
Blood was drawn, secret's confessed
Enjoy your respite

Lostandclowned

Scientistrock v.
MattRamone v. lostandclowned
(Hell in a Cell Match)

Scientistrock

I agree, a draw.
You're a formidable foe.
Until next time then.

Softcoreseizure

Neat. I also run
Didn't know there were others
Fuck bike punx, I'm broke

MattRamone

Up the haiku punx
Our syllables smash the state
Poetry is 'core

Scientistrock

This band. Boring though.

Veganboyjosh

Insane Clown Posse is the worst thing ever. Have you seen the video where they fake kung fu fight cops in a shoe store? It gives me an anti-boner.

That said, I was subjected on a near weekly basis to "Homies" in college due to a friend with a twisted sense of humor. I used to put loud porno on loop and then leave for my daily classes, locking the door.

My internet radio co-host and I challenged the posse to a rap off. They didn't show. So not only does their music suck, but they are cowards.

I'm glad someone else has nothing to do on a Thursday night.

I'm watching "Cruising" and it's hilariously awful.
