Everyday Poems


Here are some mundane things I tried to make interesting by writing them down as poems.

Haiku for the Weekend

A haiku is like
A weekend. Hardly begins
And is then over.

Fruit Fly in Coffee - limerick

I thought to myself, "This fruit fly
In my coffee will drown and die."
But turns out that it
Drank a little bit
And became unnaturally high.

Fruit Fly in Coffee - haiku

I thought the fruit fly
In my coffee would drown, but
It just turned hyper.

Dairy-free "Ice Cream" - limerick+haiku

It seemed easy to make, so I
Gave dairy-free ice cream a try,
But I should have known
From the name alone
That it was a terrible lie.

So then I ate some
Ordinary ice cream from
A shop. It was yum.

Street Pics - haikus

I took a photo
of a pretty lane, and drew
a picture of it,

then took a photo
of the picture so I could
show it to some folks.

A few days later,
I came across the photo
on my computer.

I thought to myself,
"Wow, my picture looks just like
a photo. Yay me!"

But turned out it was
the original photo
I was looking at.

Masquerade Glasses  

My friend is getting glasses.

We were discussing frames
when suddenly, a brilliant
idea to me came.

Those masks in masquerade balls
or ones sold at a fair
could become frames for spectacles
you regularly wear.

They could use one-way mirrors
so the wearer can see
all of the world while hiding his
or her identity.

All those designs and colours!
Oh, wouldn't that be fine!
I'd have a dozen pairs, and I
would wear them all the time.

I'd made this as a decorative mask, but imagine it as a frame for glasses. Cool, right?

Until I have the time to design my own, here are a couple of images I'm borrowing from the mighty internet just to give you a clearer idea.

I thought it might help\ to choose some annoying things\ and write about them


Look, a haiku title! I'm trying not to rant in spurts and to make my thoughts seem somewhat structured.

Something that's been bugging me a lot recently is Little Mix’s acoustic cover of fun.’s We Are Young, so I wrote alternate lyrics to be sung in the original tune (of We Are Young, just in case you missed it the first time)
Please excuse my lack of proper punctuation. For once, I don't care much about that.

Damn y’all, Little Mix
You really ruined We Are Young
You don’t deserve that fun. song
Cause you don’t know how it’s to be sung
It doesn’t sound very good now
I am rather scarred
By how you squeezed out every drop of fun.
From each lovely bar and

I know they may have given you the right
To do a cover of their song
But if they could see how bad you’d be
Before they hastily agreed, you know
They’d surely try to take it back

So stop your bawdy vibratos and mewling harmonies
Leave good songs alone

Dumb band
I hate you
Next time use your brains and you might
Find that you can write
Something new

Now I know that they’re not
As young as you lot
But that don’t mean, it don’t mean
You can turn their song into a pile of snot
But the deed is done
You have murdered fun.
Maybe someone will soon shoot you down too

Dumb band,
I hate you
Next time use your brains and you might
Find that you can write
Something new

Little Mix, sing no more. Oh Little Mix, sing no more
(NA NA na na na na NA NA, na na na na NA NA na na na na NA NA, na na na na)
Little Mix, sing no more. Oh Little Mix, sing no more
(NA NA na na na na NA NA, na na na na NA NA na na na na NA NA, na na na na)
NA NA...continue)
LM you should be banned from the entire music land
For you sound so warped, gorbellied, dankish, and bland
It’s getting out of hand, it’s time we took a stand
And decided how to muzzle such bands

Dumb band,
I hate you
Next time use your brains and you might
Find that you can write
Something new

So stop your bawdy vibratos and mewling harmonies
Leave good songs alone, dumb band.


Because I refuse to put up the Little Mix version

You may or may not think they're bad enough to warrant that much wrath, but I certainly feel better after writing that.
