The Haiku Thread

Jet contrails glowing hot pink!
A high tech sunset.

For a project at school, I had to write poetry, and I decided to write haikus. I wrote lots and lots of haikus about Spam, but I don’t have the paper with me, and I can only remember one at the moment, so here goes:

<center>
Is Spam really meat?
It is shaped like a brown brick.
I should build a house.
</center>

Your haiku is nice,
But I feel I should tell you
That Spam’s pink, not brown.

<P ALIGN=“CENTER”>Now we really know
How he got to be the Chef
Do not eat brown Spam.

(Not sure I’m doing it right)

I have a big test.
Three chapters of Chinese words.
I should go study.

But I know I won’t.
I’ll sit on my ass instead.
Reading the Straight Dope.

I know only this:
God has given us a kiss,
and has named it Tris.

The old woman, sitting there,
Now I think of her.

<P ALIGN=“CENTER”>If I were in love,
I would search for blossom buds,
To coax into bloom.

Fragile new flowers,
Come so unexpectedly.
If I were in love.

My coat is at home.
I shiver, in the cold wind.
Yesterday was warm.

Heavy lids in class.
So hard to pay attention.
A nap would be nice.

<P ALIGN=“CENTER”> Ancient face smiling,
A sweet child’s laugh echoing,
I miss you, Nana.

counting in haiku
one two three four five six, oops
fourty-nine’s square root

From a friend:

CAT HAIKUI
need a new toy
Tail of black dog keeps good time
Pounce! Good dog! Good dog!

Something Posing As Meat.

I could never eat a mouse raw…their little feet are probably real cold going down. :rolleyes:

For equal time, a DOG HAIKU:

I love my master:
Thus I perfume myself with
This long-dead squirrel.

<P ALIGN=“CENTER”> I dig through the mud,
My hands numb in the spring cold.
Thinking of summer.

Pah! A Haiku Thread,
As I do not have a poem,
I will lurk instead

My Girl is going,
four seasons without her here,
My girl I adore

I’m a maniac, a maa-ianac thats for sure,
ANd Im dancin’ like I never did be-foor"
Groundskeeper Willy

My house is a mess
The children are quite lazy
No one visits us

Is my house a home?
Or is it just where I live?
Just furniture in rooms.

Home is returning
To somewhere or to someone
That welcomes with love.


Habit rules the unreflecting herd. - Wordsworth

Dammit, I can’t count
I’m just no good at haiku
Speech remains stilted.

The tea pot whistles
Steam rises from the water
like a fading dream


You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
