Here I sit, broken hearted
tried to write, my muse departed
pulled my finger, got a sound
inspiration gathered round
choirs of angels, harps in tow
suffering from vertigo
falling in a feathered rain
Heaven's barred to me - again
I can hear the critics scoff
as they try to piss me off
with their petty form and rhyme
beat their chests in four-four time
while they tell me what to do
to them all, I say: haiku
leanne's finger
crickets harp -

Well, you've definitely reworked an anonymous verse and decked it so to say. There is an unpacking of the fart here. I wouldn't use gathered round because of the redunancy, but I'd love to see this on a bathroom wall. It's a twenty to one shot I would find something to critique.
I didn't want to unpack the fart. It must have sneaked into the suitcase while I wasn't looking.

Well you can't blame us for auto-completing the first line.....
I should hope not... it's my best use of intertext ever
here i sit

Good poem, but the line "suffering from vertigo" didn't seem to go in the same beat as the rest of the poem. Perhaps I'm reading it all wrong.
Also, am I supposed to give feedback here or is that for a different forum?

it's a different forum though a little feedback never hurt anyone.
in the for fun forum try and work out why the poem was posted. if it's for fun as this surely is just run with having a bit of fun.
"Here I sit, broken hearted"
with only booze to console me.
A Great Dane, a puddle and a Pekinese
walk into this bar. The Great Dane says,
"Well boys it looks like the high balls are on me!"
And thus was my heart mended,
its good to have a mind,
but better to have one bended.
