Matsuo Bashō / James Schuyler
A Madlib Haiku
In the pitiless sky
these squeaky clean herds
A dull armpit
by Bashō & Schuyler & Iself
Note
This haiku was written by Madlib based on input from James Schuyler – specific words from his poem The Dog Who Wants His Dinner (contained in The Crystal Lithium, published in 1972). Madlib appears to use words by haiku master Matsuo Bashō in generating its haiku. Ultimately, I myself can also claim some part of the authorship because I was the one who selected the Schuyler poem and the words to be used from it. How's that for collaboration across centuries and media?
