Japanese Poetry

haiku

Tundra
a barren tundra
far far away from it all
there is nothing here

Ass
unmovable ass
push tug this mule will not budge
kindly check its load

I will add more styles as I learn them

Editing stage: 

Comments

Cocaine to me brain
Relief from fucking caring
a welcome numbness
craving one more hit
knowing it was killing me

Your Haiku is more of a Senyru as the Haiku is of the seasons the others come under the title of Senyru.
The Haiku is more like a blessing to the seasons in a set 5-7-5 syllable set.
