How do you come up with something "original"?

[milo]

  Too many bloody haiku.

evening in the orchard
sun passes through -
blood orange

One time I was about to give up because everything has already been written in some way or another, and nothing was left for me.  My friend told me, "maybe it has all been done before, but it has never been done by you."  I don't know why, but that somehow made it better.  I am unique in all the world.  Simple, plain and very boring, but nevertheless, unique. That has to count for something.  

Now to take your advice ... My first ever dirty Limerick. ( Don't laugh, or do, it's not like I can hear you.  It's going to take a long time to thoroughly corrupt me, my mother was very thorough.)

There once was a weird hermit lass
Who wrote only prose that had class
She later got bored
And learned a new word
And now she pulls poems from her ass.

That was not great, and not very dirty. But if you only knew how hard it was and will be to leave that word there.  Perhaps I should write a dirty Limerick a day until it gets easier...

I'm enjoying your discussion it is enlightening.  

--Quix

A poet, quite grammatically swollen,
once found her propriety stolen.
She thought, "isn't this nice?"
as her comma was spliced.
She pulled asterisks out of her colon.
