OK, that is the funniest thing I ever read. I think it is my new favorite poem in the world. A poem that makes you laugh combines all the best fundamental elements in the universe. Y'know?
Here's my stab:
Haiku for an Aging Blogger
Lost car key was found
Clenched between her own front teeth
Next time, more coffee
Oh, what fun! I said
Then I tried to write something
Writer's block haiku?
Lori and Amy's are awesome!! Ugh. I can't write poetry to save my life and I admire those who can. :)
Oh, I need more coffee before my Haiku writing begins! LOL! I'm only on my first cup! Great job ladies!
Haiku for a Deadline
The laundry tempts me:
soap suds, warm towels, clean socks.
Procrastination.
YAY! I love haiku! Amy, yours is hilarious. Here's my morning view
Lilies in sunshine
barely sway in the hot wind,
I'm air-conditioned.
:)
EL.OH.EL, Amy! I loved the refrigerator haiku too. Made me cackle. Lurve your poem entry.
Lori, good one! Thanks for playing.
You can do it, B.J. Just three "simple" lines!
Cheffie, when you get fully caffeinated, maybe you can cobble together a java haiku? :)
CKHB, for some odd reason, I totally relate to your haiku.
Your fridge haiku is the first one I've ever really understood. What does that say about me? I still mutter "bless you" every time a post I'm reading is about haiku. Immature much? Yes, thank you for asking.
I'm not much into poetry anymore, though in high school and college, I used it a lot to deal with my angst - especially over boys. ;-)
LOL! The fridge one is awesome! LOL! I'm so laughing!....
Ok so here's my attempt.
Frantic.
Company swirling all around me.
Loud. Busy. Loved.
I am home.
Farrah, Michael, Ed and Billy,
Take me down to paradise city.
Someone's at the door.
The Paper Whisperer
Guess I should have actually drunk that cup of coffee before I hit Send. I left out a word. My haiku should have read:
Serena Williams
Dominates the sun-drenched court -
That's Big Babe Tennis.
Sheesh.
I don't know how
to write a haiku so probably this
isn't even one
Oh sweet Bloody Mary,
Is it really noon
Or am I dreaming.
Falling rain, breeze blows,
her soft breathing on my cheek,
heart swelling, love blooms
~Irish Gumbo
Summertime blogging
America's Top Model
Lazy kind of day
Can't even say it, how can I do it.
Oren
We bought a canoe
The sun has not come out since
Stupid canoe
Stacy, good one!
LOL, Debbie. You always make me smile.
Melissa, poetry is greath (and free) therapy. :)
Nice take on the haiku, giddy/Jenni. Hugs!
Thank you, Paper Whisperer. :)
Sandra, I like it!
Love it, Kathryn. hehe
Marguerite, there ya go, sha!
You've used the form masterfully, Irish. Yay!
PHST, nice entry. Thanks.
LOLLLL, Oren!! (Saw #2 son's Eagle photo in paper today. Congrats!)
Oh, Karen, nice nice!
Angie, I've missed you!
And your blog, with all its shine.
You rock! Hope you're well.
I'm terrible at haikus. So I'll spare everyone the pain of reading my feeble attempts. BUT this did remind me of a blog I came across a few days back. It's all haikus about everyone's favorite pork-product, BACON!
Here's the link: http://baconhaikus.wordpress.com/
And here's my favorite one:
Girls that eat bacon
Are hotter than girls that don’t
Scientific fact!
Just wanted to share! Xo-KB
Janna girl, so good to hear from you! Hope all's well and that your WIP is coming along. Love the poem. :)
Kora -- bacon and haikus? What a great combo. Thanks for the linkage!
Eleven at night
I'm much too weary to think
Of anything good
*sigh*
Um, is that midnight my time or your time. Darn if it's your time!
Long past your deadline
So I'll do this just for fun
Will you take pity?
;)
If you like bacon haiku, may I also recommend some zombie haiku?
Lady G & Hilary, got your entries. Thanks!
CKHB, thanks for the link. I've GOT to go see that! :)
Blogland is so fun,
I like to visit every single day
!Muy fantastico!
LOL...this one won't win any awards, but I had fun doing it! Thanks, Angie...
PS You are going to have 3 entries in my book giveaway! Thanks for signing up...
K.
Hey Angie, writing a haiku for you inspired my meal and blog tonight...thanks!
I linked to your blog on it...;)
Oh, I'm so glad I saw this after the deadline. No pressure to write one. I do think they are most fun, though.
