No More Rhymes Now, I Mean It!
December 20, 2013 This Sunday is National Haiku Poetry Day, so I thought I'd share a few of my illustrated favorites:
;)
Soft blue and brown swirls
somehow incomplete without
a beheaded deer.
;)
Soft evening breezes
Radioactive tampons
Lighting my undies
;)
Just clowning around
What a way to be headed
Coulrophobia
;)
She drives me crazy
Like no one else (ooh. ooh.)
Someone check the oil.
Waves of well wishes
A sea of celebration
Happy...Stan? You ok?
;)
Thanks to Grace R., Maria A., Kristina K., Samantha T., & Fay K., who know that haikus are easy, but sometimes they don't make sense.

Bwahahaha :D
Deer head tampons clown
Red racecar floating dead Stan
You're right. It's easy!
Happy Birthday, Joy! It is your birthday, right?
Wreckerator fail
I'm sure no one will notice
(Quick! Send Jen pictures!)
The clown body was not what I thought it was at first glance. Remember, it is early, I haven't finished my first Coke and I forgot to take my BC this morning, so I thought it was a certain portion of the female anatomy gone rogue. Torso=Uterus, Arms=Fallopians, Ruffle at the bottom=hair. Legs I will leave to your imagination. I really should finish my Coke before I come here.
What were the radioactive tampons supposed to be? I don't even have a guess.
Cake Wrecks and haiku
One is crumby, one is not.
But which one is which?
You are such a genius.
First cake: A 24-ct CCC, and only one buck? What a deal!
Last cake: Stan: "To B, or not to B...."
=^-.-^=
NHPD fell
on April seventeeth.
Is this a repeat?
Haiku Joy just got
an early Christmas present!
Is it a peanut?
That Stan cake is so well done! Presumably he's a keen swimmer, and no one looked at the cake when it was done and thought "Hang on a minute..."
Anybody want a peanut?
Anybody want a peanut?
Holiday laughter
Brings us wreckies together
Merry Samtsithc all
Princess Bride AND Fine Young Cannibals?!?!? This is going to be a great day!
I'm not even sure what those Glowing Tampons are. Maybe Ghost Buster Traps? And why is there a Single B next to Stan's Body? Are they trying to have the cake read "B Stan?"
Love the Haikus Jen!
Wreckerators never fail
To give me a laugh.
Jen -- you amaze me. Beautiful, talented, fantastic husband, funny, clever, intelligent ---- AND you do great haikus! So jealous.
My fave was the last one.
a Japanese poem
haiku write one, but canoe?
(will he ever stop?)
I got about 2.5 hours of sleep last night, so I'm not even going to attempt a haiku. It would be worse than these wrecks.
Jen, once again, I am in awe of your talents. Please send a slice to wreckerator no. 2. Radioactive tampons? I would love to know what this is supposed to be!
And now, it's time for a nap. zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Haha brilliant
Oh, my eyes, my eyes!
These wrecks are just atrocious
Pass the brain bleach, please
glowing undies *snort*
tea hits my laptop screen *splat*
Cake Wrecks I love you
Maybe it's my science background talking, but those radioactive tampons look like flagellate bacteria to me. Some of them do glow under UV.
Maybe the the clown just poofed away and left his suit laying there. That's why there are no hands or feet either.
Pretty sure the tampons are supposed to be iPods.
I love this so much
I want some neon tampons
but I don't know why
I'm wondering if the radioactive tampons are Ipods? maybe?
The Clown Suit With Nobody Inside 'Em.
The was a dark place in bakery.
Where I would often meet things of weird fakery.
It was then when I met them
The Clown Suit With Nobody Inside 'Em.
I first saw them there,
Hovering about in the air.
So I ran as fast as I could bare.
Then it seemed that they always turned up.
In the bakery next to the cakes of the cup.
They hover right there,
As I would just sit and stare,
Trying to see what they were trying to share.
I never did come to like them.

what the hell is that tampon cake for hahahahaahahaha and is that supposed to be a uterus surrounding it lol
Must be some of those Radiant tampons made by Tampax. I had a coupon for them and me and the CVS cashier had a fun time joking about radioactive tampons! :D
A flagellate bacteria cake? Oh, that is so much better than a radioactive tampons cake. Thank you so much tehpet for clearing up the mystery.
I needed a good laugh today. Still snorting about the radioactive tampons. Thanks, CakeWrecks!!!
These were all brilliant.
My name is Mary and thanks to Jen I want radioactive tampons (aka iPods) lighting my undies!
I'll venture a guess
Radioactive Tampons:
Remotes for a Wii?
Laughing I am now.
What are the tampons things for?
Those things frighten me.
If I had to guess, the 'tampon' cake was actually for a microbiologist - and they're bacteria.
I think "radioactive tampons lighting my undies" might be one of my favorite things that I've ever read on this site. :)
I love this place.
Like mud after winter snow
The frosting puddles
On these bizarrely wreaked cakes.
Well those cakes sure made me never want to buy tampons or go near a decapitated clown lol. Radioactive tampons really is what that cake looked like. Scary wreckerators.
Wow, thank you. I had a pretty crappy start to my day (quite literally; I woke to discover my elderly Pug had not only crapped herself goofy in her sleep, she'd rolled around in it and ground it into the carpet) that just messed me up all day and into the wee hours, until I saw the Radioactive Tampons. Before I scrolled down all the way, I thought "WTF? Are those radioactive tampons or some junk?", then I read the caption and felt wonderfully clever and witty. First good laugh I've had all day, so thank you.
Happy happy to all and sundry,
Storm
Where is Haiku Joy?
I would assume that she'd be
Commenting today.
Oh, please tell the story behind the Stan cake. "B Stan"...too good!
Sadly, my friends, National Haiku Poetry Day has been permanently moved to April 17th. Although it only happened last year, so there are a lot of references out there still to December 21st.
(Although really, Haikus are so fantastic, we should celebrate them every darned day.)
The 'Stan-cake' is a Dutch cake, celebration Stan is a good swimmer! In Holland all children are following a swimming program. They start with a A exam, for B they have to swim a distance under water. Some kids are doing that in the way projected on the cake....
the headless clown - according to my 11 year old, is a THNEED, which as you know is a thing that EVERYONE needs. (Dr. Seuss - The Lorax)
Ipods? Not so much
Glowing flagellates I see.
Peanuts all around.
I like the first one--as long as that frosting is buttercream, of course. The cupcakes are swirled with frosting, not paved (echh), and it gives the impression of a watercolor painting of a deer peering out of the early morning fog on an autumn day.
Im definitely hungry after reading this. Great work with the cakes by the way
