Belch Haikus, or Burp-Kus!
Introducing a brand new concept in poetry! Burp-ku! Burp-ku is a cross between a Japanese poem, “haiku” and of course, burps! The burp-ku is free form, three line poetry. Its content is about belching, and the first line has five syllables, second line seven syllables, and the final line five syllables. Below are some examples by Yours Truly.
?Burping, belching noise.
Keep tasting the stinging bile.
Too much sauerkraut.
Pastor’s silent prayer.
Heads bowed, people giving thanks.
Bad time for loud burps.
Godzilla rampage.
Eats contents of whole school bus!
Burps taste like chicken.
