I don’t like haiku  
but here is the bandwagon  
I must hop on board

My husband posts here  
but only very rarely  
he is UndeadDude

The work day winds down  
I look for entertainment  
haiku sound like fun

Personal project:  
to write a poem every day  
in cold November

At first I did well  
but lately I’ve been slacking  
do these haiku count?

My fellow Dopers  
I am greatly enjoying  
your witty banter

Andygirl, whoooooaaaa!  
She has a snowball fetish  
Switching teams, perhaps?

TwistofFate, snowball  
means to, um…lets see here…hmmm…  
go rent Clerks, OK?

Try using Anti-  
disestablishmentarian-  
ism in Haiku

Sometimes its funny  
To kiss a nose that’s runny  
But sometimes it’s snot

Sometimes I like  
to follow rules exactly  
But often I’m a non-conformist.

a lovely girl, nymysys  
awaiting new years.

**monster** is lurking  
So maybe she will see this.  
Some haikus for her.

Her name’s Amanda.  
Along with her son Blake they’re  
_Gunsmoke’s_ Miss Kitty.

She says she loves chat.  
I don’t know where she does it.  
Do enlighten us, please.

Amanda is cute  
And her Blake looks just like her.  
She seems to breed true.

Hedonism is  
as hedonism does, or  
so I’ve heard, Fucker.

Look who is talking!  
Rasa’s wrapped you up so tight  
you look like a gift.

I will be in to  
your state soon, this I promise.  
Chi ain’t no Cali.

Lo and besides! I’m  
not dieting for nothing.  
Gonna be a star!

Make Anamorphic  
put me in his movies. He’s  
a genius, you know.
