Wow!

tony said...

Only one thing to say: that's fucking beautiful.
Well, two things, really...
if you're not offie, who are you?

Zephirine said...

Tony, did you see Paddleman's introduction of himself on his other thread?

He seems to think we're all a bit mad, curious idea.

I see, it's more about illustration than i-kus,I was right not pay attention to the number of syllabes-
from rippling to Tsunami I wonder if this blog is not evolving into a waterworld and soon we are going to need a mask and a tuba to visit pseuds..

tony said...

Thanks, zeph, just met him.

Guitou, don't you like the syllables thing? I think at times it may seem restrictive but I've also found that haikus make me think about something more. Offie said somewhere that they're about finding 'the perfect word'. You may not find it but, while you're searching for it, you'll probably think about 'I' in a lot more ways....

If I sound like an English teacher who grew up in the 70s and has drunk too much wine, that's probably because I am...

guitougoal said...

nothing wrong with an english teacher who grew up in the 70s and has drunk too much wine Tony. I'll improve my homework or I'll wear the donkey's hears.

Zephirine said...

Evolving into a waterworld... I blame those Polynesians...

Zephirine said...

Guitou: a mask and a tuba to visit other Pseuds? Hmmm...

guitougoal said...

zeph,
"tuba" scuba diving tube, californian surfers slang for the : Snorkel.
looks like you guys love to see me in the corner with a donkey's hat today.

Zephirine said...

Wasn't making fun, Guitou, it was just a great image of us all, masked, arriving at Pseuds with our tuba cases.

tony said...

Forget the donkey's ears; I think what Guitou needs is some time on the naughty step...

offsideintahiti said...

"big dark waves"? "grey sky"? If I didn't know Paddleman actually lives in Polynesia...

And it's alright, he's mad too.

guitougoal said...

hey tony, I don't mind the naughty steps, offside will come soon to rescue me.

Thanks guys for your support.
I've just post this i-ku from my office in Papeete during a break of a rather tough audit day.

Audit is now finished... and i'm not (yet)fired
I will post some more

file said...

a bit late, but non the less amazed, this is a really cool one, love the graphic and the words have a resonance of their own

thanks Paddle, looking forward to more or even Other Stuff?

Guitou, don't worry I'll be on the naughty step with you before long, all the cool tuba dudes get to sit there
