注:俳句(haiku)是日本的一種古典短詩,是中國古詩絕句形式經(jīng)過日本化發(fā)展而來?!坝①健笔怯⒄Z國家少年兒童開始學(xué)習(xí)寫詩時,最喜歡采用的詩體之一。這首詩最有意思的一點是,它雖然諷刺俳句短急,但是“unfinish”只拼到一半,就像俳句的形式一般驟然沒有了。
請勿觸摸
在藝術(shù)博物館里,擺在維納斯雕像前的“請勿觸摸”指示牌非常顯眼,很容易看到。
有個小孩看看指示牌,又看看雕像,淡淡地說道:“誰都看到,她是掉了一只手嘛!”

Tom laughs and says, "It's really dark now. Why not count them tomorrow morning?"
明天早上數(shù)

湯姆是約翰的弟弟,他問約翰:“你在干什么?”
約翰說:“我在數(shù)星星。”
湯姆笑著說:“現(xiàn)在天太黑了,你為什么不等到明天早上再數(shù)呢?”
玫瑰有刺
作者:CJ_Choo(美國賓夕法尼亞州亞德利市)
There is beauty in words,
in lines written and read.
And with every stroke,
he cut me open,
and reminded me,
that roses have thorns.
Thorns
By CJ_Choo, Yardley, PA
美存在于文字中,
還在書寫、閱讀的話語間。
每一次敲擊,
都將我割裂,
并提醒我,
玫瑰有刺。

諷刺俳句
作者:艾麗莎鴨(加拿大魁北克省里戈市)

They are too quick and abrupt.
