Sitting watching it
A man is about to die;
Compelling tv

I really like this
Writing haiku is quite fun
Do you like it too?

"Haiku" means laughter
for this jaded heart and mind -
Wind rustling trees.

Zoe, stinky dog -
Nose hair and skin burn to dust.
Why? You eat cat poo.

Nice!

I started to write about our goofy male cat, but I couldn't quite capture his personality in Haiku, and it's not that he's so goofy really. He's just the friendliest cat ever, and still very playful for an adult. The only cat I know that comes when you call, and will seek to be the center of attention when people are around. Anyways...

Ahh, OK - just checking.
My Grandma has a running theory about B&W cats that's been backed-up by our cat, Harry (he acts just like yours).

Wait - should that be in 5-7-5?

Herding them: not possible...

Haiku to you,Prox
This is really fun for me
I will join the game

Haiku for my cat:

Bunny is so sweet
she has kittens, AGAIN
they are really cute

my daughter:

A brat girl child says
“you’re going to make my head
explode”. That’s my line!

In my poetry class files... lame forced artistry

Haiku Traditional 5-7-5 syllables (loosely)

Time rushes while weeks fly
Chores beckon, as does the sky
A deadline demands


I sit on the porch
A bunny hops in the darkness
Soon it is Easter

I submitted these on a later date as penance, although she seemed to like the previous ones fine. She was always kind, but I remember she thought the final one here was "trite". Oh, if she only knew my emotion on that one. But if I don't convey it... it doesn't count! My favorite is the 2nd here, but I think they all relate nicely.


Haiku non-traditional, English 3-5-3 syllables (11 syllables instead of 17)

Breathe your breath
Gaze into your eyes
See your heart

Smoke curls up
Meets polluted air
We all dance

In my arms
Innocent angel
Coos and smiles
