Hello!
Well, I spent most of yesterday chatting with Zelgadis55, and at one point we started writing Saiyuki Haikus. Since Zell has posted hers already, I guess it would be unfair if I spared myself the embarassment, so here's my half of the crime ;-)
Actually there are a few of them that I really like personally. I hope they're worth reading... I sure had fun thinking them up!
Note that every one of them focuses on one person or thing. They don't have to be read in a special order, neither are they stanzas of a greater whole. I will leave it to you to guess who is being described, and will put a list of the persons (in the correct order) at the bottom. Enjoy!

My headache gets worse
They're fighting for food again
I'm going to shoot.

Brunette, blonde and red,
I'm in love with all women
and my Hi-Lites too.

I enjoy Sake,
I can drink many bottles
without getting drunk.

Kappa steals my food
He always aggravates me
Hey! That's my spring roll!

The dust of the road
scatters under my tires
road to India.

I like Nikuman,
sitting on Hage-Sanzo

They travel westward
I watch them every day
they entertain me.

Protector for Kou,
I have found more in Houtou
Yaone, my love...

Failed in my attempt
to create a better world,
I wish to die there.

Unmoving I sit,
watching centuries go by -
don't use me to kill!

Boring paperwork
endlessly piles on my desk
next to a flower

Bunny doll in arms,
I watch my experiment.
Prince, you will obey!

Working on projects
to resurrect demon kings
Why? For the money!

He killed my whole clan,
Cho Gonou, the murderer!
I will make him pay!

Under my command
they spread death and destruction
to resurrect him.

Monk and murderer,
entwined in longing embrace
comforting their souls

Little Kouryuu,
pretty, yet so defiant...
You will succeed me.

Room full of play things,
Pearls glinting, shade of blood red.
The world is my toy.

Nataku-sama,
I hated to watch you fight
without aiding you

Pretty blood flowing
all over white robes, pale skin,
I will kill the sun.

Younger twin brother
whose hair shone like bright silver,
I will change you back!
---
Cigarette in mouth,
a machine gun in my hands,
Kill without mercy
---
Hands hitting my head
tear on hair, color of blood,
it's best if I die.
---
I enter the house,
see her hit, blood on his cheek
I've got to save him!
---
Deadly silver gun
hidden in folds of white cloth
warmed by his body
---
Dedicated life
trying to serve and please him;
He does not notice
---
Small stuffed animal
falling down, all unnoticed
A foot crushes it
---
Young errant Sanzo
The world, an experiment
People are subjects
---
Wisdom incarnate
we order the priest to go
stop the minus wave
---
Chain concealed within
a half-moon of bright sharpness
bring death to the foes
---
Kidnapped and abused,
I can't accept the burden
Goodbye, my Gonou...
---
Painting a picture,
just a little longer till
I'm losing myself...
