Haiku

What am I doing?
Haven't done it since last year
I'm writing haikus

No don't start again
I thought we were past all this
No, I won't do it

I can't stop myself
The haikus are just too strong
Please just let it end

Why is this my curse?
To write haikus without end
'Til the day I die

Why not write couplets?
Maybe epics or ballads?
Or limericks or odes?

Anything but this
Just stop these wretched haikus
I'm losing my mind

I can make it stop
I have the will to do this
I will stop right now

I might kill myself
Curse these infernal haikus
Why won't it just stop?

I'll just go with it
Maybe that will make it stop
It can't hurt to try

A butterfly's wing
Soft as the evening sunshine
In gentle beauty

Fragile and yet strong
Untamed it dances in air
God's wonders in flight

I think that it worked
Free of my awful curse
I bid thee adieu

1. I do write Haiku
I do not always want to
I can never stop

2. I was cursed years ago
to write haiku without end
by an evil poet

3. but to break the curse
I have to- no, nevermind
it doesn't matter

4. Although I resist,
the haikus always come back
they drive me insane

5. the worst curse of all
is this stupid haikuing
Is that a real word?

6. They aren't even good
They dont rhyme, They are just words
set in a pattern

7. Why do they persist?
I have battled them so long
the Haiku is strong

8. I cannot resist
My hand just has to write them
or type them, I guess

9. I can't hold the tide
There are too many, so much
They gush from my pen

10.I really hate them
My curse and worst enemy
the dreaded Haikus
