Abridged Fauxku Choo Choo guidelines for lazy people:
The Officious Fauxku Choo Choo (the play's the thing)
Rules with Explications Thereof*
contemporaneously known as The One True Rules*
Your TINY poem should:
1. Use 2 or more significant words from the previous poem.
(Tense and plurality may be changed -- homonyms and adventurous word-play are encouraged .)
2. Poem reflects some aspect of the previous poem (encouraged but not obligatory).
3. Contain 1 to 4 lines, or be a limerick.
4. Be a fauxku, pseudoku, otherku** (seebelow), a real haiku (not that
anyone really knows what one is), limerick, or a whatever-you-please
(e.g. metaphorically dense rhyming Nyāya Sūtra). Just make it TINY.
(And since this is fake art, TINY is not defined.)
Ancillary Rules:
5. If miscalculation, confusion, lapse in judgment, good intentions, ill temper,
addled thinking, or self-deception lead to snarl; don't try to communicate,
don't try to resolve: Just write something (e.g. lists of various vegetables
or something about dog diapers) and keep moving.
6. Use the "New Reply" button to pathetically attempt to impede the inevitable.
7. And YES! It's OK to play with yourself.
8. It's OK to add TINY extraneous (or not) notes.
9. Ray can do whatever he wants to do as he is the One True God.
10. Anyone else must religiously obey these rules unless a spirit has appeared to them
and suggested that it might be OK, just this once, to tell Ray to go fuck himself.
**otherku: fauxku, pseudoku, parody-ku, paraku, urku, calypsoku,
circumku, contraku, cryptoku, psychoku, forniku, galactiku, juxtaku,
mechaniku, numbku, palinku, platyku, pneuku, pornku, kineku,
cephal, retroku, somaku, subku, uberku, umbiliku, zenku,
ironiku, farciku, lowku, turdku, fucku, kukukachooku
*Please note:
The Officious Fauxku Choo Choo (the play's the thing)
Rules with Explications Thereof contained within this post RULE!
Any and all disparities and similarities; be they coherent, ridiculous,
contemptible, incomprehensible, or just plain tedious permutations of
the aforementioned shall be considered subservient to the The Officious
Fauxku Choo Choo (the play's the thing) Rules with Explications Thereof
contained within this post shall triumphantly prevail, overrule, annul,
disallow, invalidate, nullify, override, overturn, quash, rescind,

plain smite any representation, portrayal, effigy, or embodiment that
ever existed or ever will exist anywhere, everywhere, and in all those other
places too.

My life, -
How much more of it remains?
The night is brief.
- Shiki
Over the wintry
forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow.
- Soseki
Don’t weep, insects –
Lovers, stars themselves,
Must part.
- Issa
autumn winds
in the sliding door's opening
a sharp voice
- Basho
the moon so pure
a wandering monk carries it
across the sand
- Basho
The winter storm
Hid in the bamboo grove
And quieted away.
- Basho
peonies --
hundreds swaying
like a hot bath
MORI Sumio
summer grasses——
the wheels of the locomotive
come to a stop
- YAMAGUCHI Seishi
Under the protection of a big tree,
People's hearts are at rest."
- Taijyu ('big tree' stands for 'the Shogunate')
big tree stands for large cock
