The haiku thread

[Xerus]

Does anyone like Japanese poetry known as haikus? In a haiku, the first line has 5 syllables, the next line has 7 syllables, and the last line has 5 syllables again. And they don't have to rhyme. Here's a haiku I created some time ago.

A remote control.
It will let me change stations.
A nice wholesome show.

 

[Super Scooter]

This surely is nice.
You wrote a lovely haiku.
And now so have I.

 

[Xerus]

Thank you Super Scooter. You wrote a very nice haiku too. It made me feel so good. Now here's another haiku I just came up with.

My trusty cellphone.
I can call you anywhere.
No more payphone change.

 

[RedPiggy]

Chronic pain for years.
Have been bent out of shape.
Love chiropractor.

 

[Xerus]

Gonzo loves chickens.
Especially Camilla.
She loves Gonzo too.

 

[RedPiggy]

Still not at work yet.
But I'm nearly done with fics.
So, it is all good.

 

[Xerus]

Order a pizza.
I have a special coupon.
Three toppings or less.

 

[Super Scooter]

Kermit says, "Hi-ho!"
Fozzie has "Wocka-wocka."
No catch phrase for Rowlf.

 

[Xerus]

A hole in my sock.
Where do these sock holes come from?
A hungry washer?

A thread of haikus
That's rather wonderful news
Pass me the cashews
