FUNERAL RECESSIONAL HAIKU

In Paradisum,
Funeral recessional,
Not How Great Thou Art

Alternate version:

In Paradisum,
Funeral recessional,
Not On Eagle's Wings

YOU WANT A LATIN HAIKU? YOU GOT IT!

A couple of commentors on the Rhapsody blog suggested we pull off some Latin Haikus. Here's my attempt!

Ite, Missa Est
(That's the "hymn of sending forth")
Deo gratias! (OOPS! Thank you Chris!)

Wait, that's only two-thirds Latin. Let's try this again.

What are the hymns we sing? Not necessarily in order now...
Offertorium,
et Cantus Introitus,
et Communio.

Inspired by this Sunday's Introit Verse (not the antiphon):
Admirabile
in universa terra
nomen tuum est!
(Admirable in all the earth is your name!)

Best I can do for now!

Peace,
BMP

CATHOLIC HAIKU CONTEST

The Ironic Catholic announced an Ironic Catholic Haiku Contest. For anyone who doesn't know what a "haiku" is, it's a short verse, three lines, poetic meter 5-7-5 - that is five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables. Doesn't have to rhyme. Rythym needs not be consistant either.

"Trapped in Brooklyn", via comment to Ironic Catholic wrote this one that I thought was funny:
Haugen Joncas Haas
When I think of their music
I always pass gas

Here are three of my own:
1. Trautman can't endure
an "authentic liturgy",
Mahony neither.

2. LA Cathedral:
In my eyes it passes for
Subsidized housing.

3. Hootenanny Mass:
I will walk out of this church
if I see guitars.

Those are my submissions to the Ironic Catholic, via comment. ;)

Someone who really can write a killer haiku is Jack Bennett at Idle Mendacity. Check his blog out!
