No Offense Intended

Do you know I am
not dissin' you when I write
stuff I call haiku?

Soup makes me pick form
and sometimes that's only one
makes any sense 'tall.

Anyhow respect
(like, muchly) peops who study
and try to perfect.

I do things my way.
I like that others do things
otherly than me.

Now, here's the thing... if
one of the pos I haikued
placed in serious

contest, I would doubt
what the scene was all about.
Yak haiku has place

but serious trumps.
Some brilliant lines goin' down
thanks to the poets.
