A poem format hailing from Japan. It's just like an American/English poem except like non-english words, it's entirely stupid and makes no sense. Idealist College students and "otaku" and wapanese people love it death. It's a pretty easy format because you just have to watch your the 5-7-5 format. You don't have to rhyme or make sense. Like calligraphy or any of the other stupid things to come from Japan and asia (A good reason we nuked them twice) it really holds no actual intelligence in the world of academia. It's best to kick the person who writes these thing in the jewels. Or if it's a girl, just smack her like you would any other woman (joking, you fags).
Haiku is no good.
Write stupid format for you.
Dorks like it a lot.

Maddox (www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net) put it best:

I had a wet fart.
I think I need to wipe it.
Damn! I shit my pants.
I'm better than you
cos my johnson is so big
I hate your mother

A "town" on the island of Maui in Hawaii, United States which should be called a region instead due to its vast size, large population of trees, and perplexing roads that will lead you to the middle of the middle of nowhere. When giving directions, be sure to offer a map and perhaps spare fuel.
"Eh, you live in Haiku ya? What part you stay?"
"Oh uh, I dunno."

A form of Japanese poetry with 17 syllables in three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. Almost all elementary english teachers force their students to write a haiku because they are too lazy to teach real poetry.
All haikus are great,
But they don't always make sense.
I got the buttpee.
