What is more universal than poop? What emotion better transcends the gamut of social, political, economic and geographical spectrums? From the mightiest Pharaoh to the lowliest peasant, poop binds us as a species, as human beings.

PoopReport is dedicated to exploring the emotion and act of poop. We do it with a distinct post-modern post-Y2K post-Tom Green Americentric flavor.

But not today. Today we're kicking it old school -- 16th-Century Japan style.

According to The Art of Haiku [2], haiku is practiced to "transcend the limitation imposed by the usual language and the linear/scientific thinking that treat the nature and the human being as a machine." "[A haiku] must register or indicate a moment, sensation, impression or drama of a specific fact of nature. It's almost like a photo of some specific moment of nature.

Here's an example:

What's reality?
Your hot mom ramming my ass
with a chimney brush.

Knigel [3].

Although the structure varies, we're going to stick with the form most of us learned in elementary school: 17 syllables, distributed across 3 lines: 5 - 7 - 5.


Haiku is beautiful. Poop is beautiful. Let's get started.
