Happy Gay Pride!
Gay Haiku
by Joel Derfner
(forwarded by Mr. RA)
Art, music, theater,
Apricot-mango face scrub--
What haven't gays done?
***
Mother's dilemma:
Her son is gay, but dating
A Jewish doctor.
***
See the eight-year-old
Knitting mittens on the bus.
Does his mother know?
***
Yes, this feels quite good.
Still, could you pick up the pace?
Golden Girls is on.
***
Group sex would be great
If it weren't for this sad truth,
People have elbows.
***
How is it you knew
I wasn't faithful? Oh, yeah:
Bite marks on my ass.

Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is a very short poetic form: Traditional Japanese haiku consisted of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 units (morae) which generally corresponded to syllables.
