Mimicry

I heavily ripped off the Wild Beasts song "Please Sir".

Please sir, excuse me
I didn't mean to offend.
With utmost respect

Generation Why
I know it doesn't make sense.
"I wish and I hope"

So for forgiveness,
please, take this haiku as an
offering of peace


I believe in the art world, ripping off is called paying tribute, right?

Destroyer

Seeing Destroyer tonight at the Troubadour, so I figured a tweet tribute was in order. Each line in the Haiku taken from various Destroyer lyrics.



"Saw brides and their grooms
Saw the features of the world
All sounds like a dream

Now you've got it all,
They told me it was clever.
You've got it all wrong."


That ended up being harder than I thought. Of course all my favorite lyrics are more are less than 5/7 syllables.
