Long bus-ride from Puyo.

One long bus ride to open yer eyes (abre los ojos), pull out a journal, and write. We, three American travelers, picked up a small staple-bound journal with gridded pages and took a stab at the tag-team haiku. The tag-team haiku is an exercise that incorporates lines from multiple writers, each poet gets a line in the attempt to create one cohesive, albeit abstract, haiku. No holds barred.

Here we maintain the 5-7-5 structure for those sticklers out there. Feel free to get back at me with words, rebuttals, and the like.


Indigenous girl
boobs hanging, swaying, bouncing
Arbuckle: get it.

Cheesy sanduche
green, smells of rich compote, stank
do I dare stick there?

Oh, give me whisky
but you can't make me drink it
Chuchaqui; chucha.

Orange carpet strip
that's what I call her thingy
Babe, request clearance to land

La patria, pues
Robot vagina haunts me,
sweet poon of liberty! *6 syllables

Snake slithers 'round cage
saturated fabric hell
release my penis

I can't help but think
'bout writing Haiku all night
line for line, with wine

bus, Ecua, Salsa
what really drives this metal?
death trap 4 cutie


Haiku escrito por: A. Nishawala, E.A. Cooper and R.P. Fitzgerald
