Share a haiku about your day!

A moment of peace,

That’s all that I’m asking for,

Please go to bed now.

    Dadaist poetry is random. In its purest form one would choose a source (like an article or book) and cut out all the individual words, drawing them randomly to write. I use a cut-up method similar to the one used by Burroughs to write The Soft Machine, which uses entire phrases and not individual words.

    To make a haiku, additional editing is often needed (omitting words from the chosen phrase, usually).

    Here are a couple of dadaist haikus I’ve composed. I’ve decided not to keep the one I referenced because it was just too dark.
