The Haiku Thread

All the game threads. (It's only teenage wasteland.)

Hurricanes or snow;
We are mere toys to nature.
I am not amused.

Five syllables in
Second line of my haiku
I cannot count; sigh.

Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run..."

Winter cold and snow.
But now it is clear outside
Clear up to my knees! :evil:

Troubleagain, try:
"A White Christmas? What is that?"
That fits the meter.

Christmas time is now.
Joy, peace, comfort and plenty.
A wish for the world.

Christmas is over.
Tired and moody the son,
so quiet the house.

Christmas is over*.
I'm completely relieved.
Too much family.

*I was composing this in my head as I opened the thread, I swear. Coincidence.

Nonetheless I am
Glad it's all done with, for I
am so very tired.

And now, for a few
Peaceful days of rest with my
Absolutely undeniably unspeakably most wonderful family anyone in the Universe could possibly ever have encountered.

Oops, too long? :-

Arneb's haiku does
not scan--the sentiment is
most clear and good, though.

Heated, rosy cheeks appear

Arneb, we wish for
A quick return to fine health
Before the New Year. :)

Old year ringing out. [-o<

Roaring through the trees outside
As the dawn approached.

I love green plants but
The ivy on my desk is
Taking over the place.

So true, dear KLA2.
I get busy and hurry
and forget to count a syllable or two or three.

The Haiku is hard
A thousand words are easy
But seventeen, not.

But what the hell. I would rather wax verbose than ... oops. :oops:
