Plastic Spasmodic Delirium Haiku and Limerick oo If You Please

saw geeks having sex

spasmodic delirium

my eyes turned plastic.

plastic zen handclap

spasmodic delirium

pay the nice lama

try the laughing god

spasmodic delirium

he don’t take plastic

I’m sure we are all seeing the crappy limitation the wonderful words spasmodic delirium have on my less than one hundred percent haiku with a small h, so I  did a couple of limericks so that I wouldn’t hang myself.

Conan, barbaric Cimmerian

Had only one major criterion

Bellicose and bombastic

He’d shred people like plastic                                                         

And laugh with spasmodic delirium.

—–o—–

Spasmodic delirium is fun

After chewing some lysergic gum

Listening to old Pink Floyd

Plastic gods of the void

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

    Your poetry is one of a kind and always refreshingly unique. I have yet to try a limerick, so you might have interested me to contemplate such prose with your great skill here. Thank you.

    You have a winner, so I thought I’d stop by to give you another click!

    Great to see so many ideas. I like the one with chewing gum the most. Good use of the challenged words. Thanks for sharing.

    Wonderful :)

    You’re a bit hard on yourself; this was great fun. My favourite was the Conan limerick. A worthy addition to the challenge, and thanks for playing.

    I also see the challenge is world famous now – woo hoo!!! ;-)

  • Spiritt on Aug 3, 2010

    We like em! Don’t be so negative.

  • maranatha on Aug 3, 2010

    I liked the Conan one too. We’re probably dating ourselves even admitting to recognizing the name….

    Good fun for the challenge!

  • Inna Tysoe on Aug 3, 2010
