@4649matt
4649matt, how did you know that I just started playing with bombs this morning and was having fun blowing monsters up?. But since this is Gaijin Haiku, gotta convert it to Engrish.
When we get around to entering your haiku for the judges on Wiki, since they primarily speak English, it will be romanticized like this:
爆弾を
爆発すると
爆笑し
Bombs whisper haiku
Tick talk tick talk then KABOOM!
Laughter everywhere

@Iceni
Bombs are literally a blast to play with.
I suspected this was english only, but I wanted to write it while it was fresh in my brain.
Here are English senryu using the same idea:
The bomb is now set
like the mirthful smile I wear
what a blast this is!
The Big Angry Bomb
explodes in angry constrast
as laughter explodes.
Different theme!
Scheming, "Love" Puppy
finds reverse psychology,
the cruelest technique
Though we covet coin,
you can keep your gold monsters.
No thank you, we say

Setting deadline to July 14th
Since Nick announced today that the new boss stratum and new gear arrives, I'm setting the Gremlin Haiku deadline to July 14, 2011. Any haiku submitted after July 14, 2011 11:59PM Central (GMT-5) will be considered Fun-ku. We'll also be adding to the prize pool.
Enjoy the new boss stratum!

Updated on Wiki to #182
TheBadger just updated the haiku and fun-ku on the Wiki to post #182.
He picked one of Matt's own themed English translation of the Haiku written in Japanese character set.
To the volunteer actors:
If test subjects aren't available when we need storyboard actors, we'll just kidnap a friend or 2 and apply crime scene duct tape as needed !^.^!

@RBurrito
Thank you for letting us know about the entry error. Although , it would have been easier for the librarians if you had CUT & PASTE your entry at the top rather than embed it into several haiku. Our librarians may need BIG SIGNS to highlight THIS IS MY REAL ENTRY due to lack of sleep or not enough flogging. I'll tell TheBadger to redo the entry. Please be kind to the data librarians, that's alot of data entry into the Wiki.
Best regards,
Raspberry

ZI do apologize about that. In my defense, though, I've been on vacation and don't have access to a computer. I've been posting from my phone, which in turn effects how well I can format posts. I can assure you that if I was at a PC, though, that I would have done a much more proper job.
Sorry again! And thank you! :-)

There's an exclamation point after the word aflame in my haiku that isn't reflected in the wiki. I wanted to mention because I edited it in later, and it might be important for proper haiku-ism. :)
