Has there not been one
Already now in progress?

My head is now wet
Summer rain for my flowers
my hat is missing


Steel wheels on the track
The Rolling Stones on World Tour
or just my train trip

Get the morning chow
Llamas are hungry again
And so we feed them

I too am hungry
The kitchen holds my future food
And thus I must go

I don't understand
How people eat that green slime
Sour cream's better.

more properly senryu :D

Indeed you are right,
But your senryu has excess
syllables, so there. :P

Very well, I shall
Attempt to write a haiku
About nature then.

The happy squirrel
Eats seed from the bird feeder;
Out comes the rifle.

Walking through the woods,
Off in the distance I spot
Bigfoot: he runs away.

Llamas are truly
Creatures both noble and proud;
A worthy mascot.

But then, barbarism
Is the hallmark of clumsy
amateur poets.

me come your village
Me take your women and loot
me write haiku too

barbarian, eh?
grab a sword and start swinging
call me names will you



do not tell me I
am source of your knockup
remember the mud elephant
wading through the sea
leaves no footprints

A sonnet. (*Shudder*)

このへやで

It's based on codas, not syllables. :)
