Six Haiku Madlibs

In the dense mouth

these tepid lights – 

an artificial dust

– Lee Nao Doh and Basho


✧✧✧✧✧


No one bulge

along this mouth but I,

this dense light.

– Lee Nao Doh and Basho


✧✧✧✧✧


A dense tepid mouth...

A light bulge into the dust,

bellyache! Daffodil again.

– Lee Nao Doh and Basho


✧✧✧✧✧


Dense mouth,

the light

is tepid of dust.

– Lee Nao Doh and Buson


✧✧✧✧✧


Don't bulge, mouth

light, dust themselves,

must nip.

– Lee Nao Doh and Issa


✧✧✧✧✧


Bulge me,

as one who nips mouth

and light.

– Lee Nao Doh and Shiki


✧✧✧✧✧


Note
Once again I felt the urge to test the poetic vein of an artificial intelligence (even though of an apparently very lowly kind) in creating haiku out of a list of words I, Lee Nao Doh, had defined. The AI then mixed this input with haiku from the masters: Basho, Buson, Issa and Shiki. Rendering poetry that is partially reminiscent of slightly surreal Chinese proverbs or fortune cookie stuff.

Feel like doing the same? Click here.

An earlier attempt, from which I picked three haiku.

Yours,

Leonard B., aka Lee Nao Doh

Another bead of Chinese wisdom

“A lake is a failed attempt to break through to the sea.”

Note
Again, I’m not sure what exactly the significance of this bead of Chinese wisdom is even though it might be considered to be true in some indirect way.

A bead of Chinese wisdom

“You never hear lambs complain about sheep’s milk.”

Note
I’m not sure what exactly the significance of this bead of Chinese wisdom is even though it is entirely true.
