Restaurant Haiku 2007!
-
Post #1 - February 12th, 2007, 9:36 pmLong ago, probably before most people now here were here, we had a thread devoted to Restaurant Haiku. The idea was to encapsulate a notable restaurant using the classical 5-7-5 syllable form. And now it's back, just in time for the cabin fever that seems to be rampant around town.
It may not always be obvious what the restaurant is, but if you're not sure, look for puns and other clues in the word choices-- and if you feel like it, compose your own!

Herbs on dogs? Why not!
Britney gyrates for tube elk
Corn dogs meet sauternes
* * *
Smithy stokes gold flames
Bufala bubbles on crust
Burnt like Pompeii ash
* * *
If you can bear sight
Of modifications, try
Eggcellent burgers
* * *
Like Kirk's foe, sequel
Is posher than old dhaba
But still tastes fiery

Mackerel glistened
Kids and grandmas called it home

I'm more for Kerouac's Blues and Haikus (rereleased by Rhino in the early-90's as part of a cassette boxset...and further released a few years ago, maybe? Anyway, he doesn't adhere to form, but lets the line drift as it might, Zoot Sims the improvising pied piper)Last edited by Christopher Gordon on February 13th, 2007, 1:25 pm, edited 3 times in total.Being gauche rocks, stun the bourgeoisie
