  1. Haiku (俳句 haikai verse?) Haiku.ogg listen (help·info), plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 moras (or on), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively.[1] Haiku typically contain a kigo, or seasonal reference, and a kireji or verbal caesura.

I know how to spell haiku. When I came up with spelling it Hi-Coo, I thought I was being a smart ass. I just googled it and found out that an alternate spelling of Haiku is hi coo. That’s fucked up. It’s fucked up because when I came up with hi-coo, I thought I was being clever in that I could write short little poems, that didn’t have to fit in with the requirements of the haiku format. Thank the good Gods for me coming up with Faux Cues… Because guys, most of these poems in here are Faux Cues. They are little poems about the mistakes we make in living. Not that we should stop living but that we should give ourselves a break when we make our faux cues. And so here and now, I would just like to say that these Faux Cues are pointed directly at you and I’m sure there will be another Faux Cue in your future…

Oh, and I would like to say that you should read these as academically as if you were reading Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Don’t try to find simple meanings to these complex mathematical puzzles. Just because I was born into a blue collar family,(with one foot in the grave) doesn’t mean I don’t know of the complexities and dualities of my mistresses(poems). (Sometimes, I like to call my Faux Cues, my mistresses. So, Faux Cue number 209 is Mistress number 209. It makes me feel like a big shot to say mistress number 209. My wife shudders and shakes her head when I call my faux cues, my mistressses but it does not surprise her.

Oh and if you do not get to  today’s faux cue, don’t worry, there will be one tomorrow that will blow you away. My Faux Cues are like potato chips, you have to eat the whole bag.
