I recently found out that "modern haikus" don't have to be 5-7-5...I prefer the classics. Here are a few the ol' fashioned way.
Dodecahedron
Why so many sides to you?
Geometric friend
I used to go to
Bed very late, now only
Occasionally
Gender politics
Ladies are a mystery
Confidence lacking
Beware, The Snowman
And The Girl Who Cried Monster
Are great Goosebumps books
"Yes lady, tall means small
ReplyDeleteGet over it and order
Got to write haikus"
I just realized this has 6 syllables in the first line. Still stands the test of time.
My sister and I always had a thing for writing haikus about birds. Here's one I just composed:
ReplyDeleteSlinky, sexy bird
Pecking around the coop
Tonight's dinner - yum!!
Christie, we must have been having far too much fun to realize our blunder...
ReplyDeleteFree samps to you all
Crumbly cookie, eat it
Your joy is the fee
Oh free samps, where have you gone?
I started writing a haiku yesterday about an orange shirt that I wore the day before, it has tigers on it...animals are truly inspirational.
ReplyDeleteHere's another:
ReplyDeleteScrawny, filthy bird
pecks at worms in the dirt.
White poop dots the yard.
I like your work related ones very much. I don't work in a field that will yield much good haiku...but here's a try:
ReplyDeleteYou are forty-five.
You are twenty years too late
To have a baby.
