Haikus In the Dark - By Harold and Sheryl Hamsons

Pioneers of the art of lightless haiku's, Harold and Sherl Hamson have been writing haikus in little or no light since 1994 (the year of pure darkness). They say the trick to purity in haiku is to not see anything while writing whether it be through binding, black tape, or magic.

My ass is on fire
Not heat from the bacon boy
But flames from the north

Hop to the candy
Silly rabbit, Trick’s are bunk
Carrots have carbs too

Young pony in field
Prance and yet he wonders why
Horse is the big one

Queer and pale he sits
Jean shorts are funny on boys
That’s why they hate you
