See the poodle jump
through the flaming hoop – too high! –
overachievement burns.
My haikus are lame
Why? I just cannot explain.
For some reason, I can’t get the meter right.
Haiku are easy
What I’m having problems with
Are the limericks
There once was a man from Puru
Whose limerick lines ended in two…
GAH! A Haiku thread
Unsure of syllable(ness)
Counting my fingers.
For a lark last night
He bought his lady a card
Quite the spender, he
Does the word squirrel
have two syllables in it?
If not, no haiku. 
If everything
has four syllables, then this
haiku is correct.
Other words are tough
Like orange and nibbler and crayon
Head scratchers for me.
Colloquial-type
Pronunciations make me
Write stupid haikus.
Haiku are poems
of seventeen syllables
and in Japanese
Here’s my eleventh grade haiku that earned an A and was hung up in the teacher’s lounge:
Twelve syllable poem
Can’t contain no rhymes at all?
Stupid assignment.
Dude, haikus have 17 syllables.
Oh, that’s ridi–
(counts)
… well, shit.
I did go to Washington High…
Oh, sorry…the ‘Gay Joe’ part. For the 30’s thru the 50’s…he’s just faaabulous! 
A card works wonders
It was the thought that counted…
$1.98 sex
There once was a man from Verdun
Oh, haiku.
Five syllables, then
Seven syllables, then five.
It must be autumn.
This is a Haiku
the third line is meaningful
…
There’s a perfect one
in a books called Gay Haiku
About Mansfield Park
Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves of sycamore
Blackburn wrote this first
I am the undisputed queen of nonsense Haikus.

Fourteen Ninety-Nine.
I lead you holding your leash
Shaped like an ox head
So it comes to pass,
Oh no, she’s a transvestite!
Rouge satellite feed
Dark night of the soul
They brought lots of hefty bags.
The Hamster of Death!
Laughing In Your Face
Spam emerges from its tin
Making sucking sounds
All gather round please
A Harley between his legs
A male housekeeper.
My hand just fell off!
The story of a keyboard
Bring me ipecac
**
H-A-I-K-U
If you wish, spell it backwards
U-K-I-A-H
From my LiveJournal, Oct. 7th:
Haiku is easy.
Syllables - five, seven, five.
Doesn’t even rhyme.
The intelligence
of Dopers always makes me
Smile. Super job, guys!
