Silliness haiku only! - Page 5

I tried to write one.
But it's hard to count each word.
Therefore, I give up.

Congratulations!
You did it! You did it well!
You deserve a beer.

In your giving up,
You have given us a gift
Of your fine Haiku.

It's funny to see
How quickly it comes easy
To do and not count

Warm, resting in sand
beyond high tide - a black tern's
broken and bleached bones

Twas a brillig day
The slithy toves did gyre and
Gimbol in the wabe

The borogoves were
mimsy, and the momeraths, they
were often outgrabe.

"Outgrabe"? Past tense verb!
Write "were outgribing" instead.

Oh? A past-tense verb?
Read it as an adjective.
"Were often outgrabe"

No more witty Haiku's?
I like tapping my fingers
on every update here

GraceKrispy · 10-01-2010, 03:56 AM

I felt like starting
a fun, fun thread for haiku
but... done already!

I guess this just proves
I have the same idea
over and over....

GeoffC · 10-01-2010, 06:11 AM

gems as we can do ...

LCF · 10-01-2010, 12:00 PM

My first attempt this.
One syllable to much and
front meets the end.

kennyc · 10-01-2010, 12:04 PM

This is a haiku
of a ship that was tossed
Minnow was it's name

It's not hard to write
If you can count to seven
Then you will succeed.
