Phillip's Haiku

2002.01.11 - Updated page to XHML + CSS. My first encounter with Haiku was in junior high English class, 7th or 8th grade, I don't recall which. Haiku are short and simple to write, yet can convey a lot of feeling. So maybe once a year I get in the mood (boredom) to write a few haiku. Ah, I just remembered, I wrote some haiku in Air Force BMT.

1999.03.27 - Six new Quake2 related Haiku. I was inspired to write these by boredom and the Quaiku Page.

Business Ethics class
A three page report I must write by six p.m. Ethics really bites.
A court of ethics. I view the scene before me Where is my barf bag?
Idiots chatter Stick to the ethical case Ugh, Both sides suck shit
Again, this lame class More ethical dilemmas I must run away
Resistoleros See the children sniffing glue Life fading away

Misc.
Evil AOL I welcome not its users Steve Case pedophile
I turn on the tube Headline News is once more on Lynn Vaughn r0x my nutz
Load my web pages Observe their beauty today Lynx, Mosaic, Netscape, welcome

Quake
So many women So much effort to tame them I'd rather play Quake
I, newly respawned, run towards the full backpack The sniper frags me

Misc.
Time passes slowly I wish I had brought my book Asimov, Grandmaster
The hot sun shines down Sitting, waiting, Let's go I bake in my car

Quake2
Warm green plasma ball. We all know it moves too slow. Scortch them, laser beams!	They whine a bit more, I shall show them no mercy, Hot green plasm death!	The rail leaves a trail. I find the sniper quickly. Eat urainium.
Stand still I say again. You prolong your life little. Four gibs go flying.	I possess the flag. Move to the fucking right, bitch. Teammate gets me killed.	I near my home base. Suddenly I'm dead again. That rocket amp whore.

Air Force Basic Training
Tight beds, dust free floors Even thirds, folding tightly Pass the inspection	Hut two three four now Steady on your left food steady Marching to and fro	Five seven and five Simply count the syllables Don't you love Haiku?
Time passes quickly In just four short weeks from now Airmen we will be	Reporting statement Don't forget it, frickin' nut Try again, crazy
