Want Hides
all you want in life
bubbling vat of failure
that’s where success hides
Found Haiku distilled my Michael Jay LaRue based on prose by Scott Adams

Passion Bad
passion is bullshit
boost personal energy
energy is good

Today’s (actually yesterday’s) #FoundHaiku (actually yesterday’s overheard #FoundTanka):
Please take extra care
when disembarking at Dundee,
as the gap between
the train and the platform edge
is higher than at other stations.

Re #FoundPoetry, I always think of this @ScotRail borrowing from #RobertLouisStevenson in the #FoundHaiku sub-category of same - a lovely text, but framed and relineated into something more than mere quotation:
@clerotto We get to play that the text isn’t being cut out & cut up, but was ‘intended’ to read like this, 1st unconsciously by the original author/s, now consciously by its finder/s, meaning any discontinuities appear to resolve into new meanings in the reader’s imagination. #FoundPoetry
Besides the #LifelongRenga of #FoundHaiku and my ongoing #SummerRenga (currently fixated on beetles), a #SideRenga of #BeachHaiku seems to be unfolding:
The butterfly blown
along the beach won’t sell much
ice cream at that speed.
#TheEphemeral #Haiku #MorecambeAndWise
- That was silly, as these seasonal sequences are just part of the #LifelongRenga of #DailyHaiku, #FoundHaiku etc, that make up #TheEphemeral:
Spiders have no time
to snatch up their flies and run
legs more used to webs.
I open one window and
a lizard leaps it knows not where.
Oops, I said I wrote #Haiku most days and I’d post one if I did. Then, the very next day, I did and nearly forgot to post it.
This one’s a #FoundHaiku autocorrect helped me out with:
Help! I’m being lowered
into the world to drown me out
she wrote to her feet.

I was reading - just a few months late - about Saturn’s many newly-discovered moons:
https://t.co/iIvYw5LMvI
and felt compelled to copy out (in #FoundHaiku form) the lovely sentence
All the new moons
are potato-shaped objects
a few kilometres across.

I write one page of masterpiece to ninety-one pages of shit. I try to put the shit in the wastebasket.

These #FoundHaiku may not observe a strict syllable count, but then I don’t expect their original authors were thinking about that at the time.
They might not even be thinking about it at the moment, and who can blame them? Gaps, displays, and onomastics is where it’s at.
After hours toiling through our meticulous unkempt records, we bring you a trio of #FoundHaiku, the origins of which would take us even longer to uncover, featuring carports! Turbot! Tractors!
(1/4)
Once you’ve parked your turbot in the carport, you might want to name that jockey:
‘“Dazdrapertrak”* was a boys' name
and a contraction of the phrase
‘“Long live the first tractor!”’
* Даздрапертрак

“between your doubts be
just barely still enough to
know that God is. Love”

Did you forget to post @AbbyWambaugh’s jokes from #TheFringe about furniture at the time?
Yes.
Will you post them now, first thing Monday morning, in an attempt to make up for this?
I will.
Do you consider the one about tables to be a #FoundHaiku, about tables?
I do.
“somewhere to know that
in oneself waiting to be
found there is a light”
