The haiku thread

Van Hellseek · 13 May 2008 at 22:40

Post a random haiku here (written by you, off the top of your head), could potentially be quite funny....

My poor effort to get this going... Dedicated to tomorrow.

Working once again
All customers are morons
Another dull day

I'm sure you lot can do better...

Edit: There are various types of Haiku, but a very simple English haiku should be three lines, with each line consisting of 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively.

My nightshift snacks gone
Many hours yet left to go
Vending machine calls

Van Hellseek · 13 May 2008 at 22:52

Nice

I think "hours" is just one syllable though and it's supposed to be 5-7-5.

Computer Screen Glows
Wasting away the hours
I should go to bed

I had 'left' in there too (edited back in) but when said in a Yorkshire accent it doesn't work

So I'm sat here bored
Wondering what I should do
When I saw this thread...

My warm mug of tea
Perches still atop my desk
Soothing till morning

Haiku reminded
My football team is sucky
Losing interest

Middle line should have 7 syllables (see edit to OP).

The weather is hot
My horricks are bettying
I wish it would cool

You edited in the minute before I posted, I wasn't feeling quite ninja enough obviously.

Ok then: "My football team is sucky" to replace the middle line.

Wish me luck I need it please
Hope I do quite well

The dark sky thunders
Terrifying crash is heard
Gillys ban hammer

Mansize_tissue · 13 May 2008 at 23:20

Thick and juicy, call
1-900-MIXALOT
Shake that healthy butt

(Totally made up, by the way)

Talk about synchronised Haiku-ing!

Turn professional?

A noise above me
The voyeur feline returns
Ceiling cat appears

gillywibble · 13 May 2008 at 23:42

I am so alone
Drowning in my solitude
Oh for peace at last
