Haikus

Haikus by Unknown

I have no idea who wrote this poem. It is simple, short, and funny, and I will quote it here...

"Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator"

This haiku parodies itself, and I love it. The first time I read it, I spend most of the day laughing to myself. It simplifies poetry by poking fun at itself, as though it is saying that it understands poetry isn't the easiest to write. However, complex things aren't always the best poetry, and sometimes something that sounds empty and without form when written in prose can become something beautiful when written as poetry.
