Sunrise deserves wows
Sunsets deserve awe and respect
Not one to be a party pooper, here was my stab
Pink flowers blossom
While my mind dreams of pizza
Ice cream cake in winter
(I mean, who would vote against pizza and ice cream, but it was a tough crowd, and they sent me packing).
It’s getting later
Yet, I’m busy writing this
Thanks, “BP Totty”
???
This duz knot maik cents
Cuz i em a badd speler
ohh wel, it wuz funn!
“I can only try”
What a long-winded screen name!
Why not just “icot”?
These we shall submit
To a grateful MTA
“Poetry in Motion”
Help! I’m being held
In a fortune cookie plant
Forced to write Haiku
Roller coaster rides
Make me violently sick
Please be my seatmate
Perhaps one fine day
I may decide to grow up
(But don’t hold your breath)
Traditional Haiku in Japanese is written in a single vertical line with seventeen sound units or mora (not strictly the same as syllables) in a rhythm of five, seven, and five. In English (a stressed language), the ideas can be expressed with a short line, a long line, and another short stack. Sometimes, haiku can turn out very bad and cheesy. Pick a good topic.
Chat posts can be fun
If comments are in good taste
Yeah so sue me
Haiku can express
Your thoughts or propaganda
In just three short lines
My thoughts are far away
forming salami sammich and coke
olam hazeh is good
Why have I chosen
To try this experiment
I’m crazy I guess
I’ll strengthen the good
Kirvas Elokim Li Tov
I want it better
Jews can’t do Haiku
Unless they can figure out
how to feel guilty
What is a haiku?
I simply don’t understand
What the darn word means
I won’t write haiku
No matter how much you beg
Uh-Uh — won’t do it.
The Wolf
Wolfish Musings begs
Against this thread let’s rebel
But he can’t succeed
Echolocation
I have no idea why I
was given this trait
Citigroup plunges
As the government unloads
Billions of shares
dieting is hard
self conrol is not easy
pass the cookies please
Indiscriminate
Libertarianism
Xenophobic
echolocation
is not communication
your question is moot
“Unlike humans, dolphins lack vocal cords, but they do use a complicated system of squeaks produced by sphincter muscles within the blow hole for communication.”
In that case I am
by the dolphins and bats used-
no participant
Squeaky haikus are entertaining
dont stop now while you’re ahead
it even sounds smart
Character traits you have
maybe not your strong forte
but its good enough
Vocal cords are useful
for human communication vital
too bad some have them
Participation is essential
if as a human you interact
intelligently with others
Squeak, thank you for the
Referral to Citigroup
He’s here plunging now
(oh, I get it now)
Squeak, thank you for the
Ciligroup update now I
am running to buy
As Citigroup plunges
I load up on four dollar shares
to sell later for ten
Citigroup has plunged ere to
now, for reasons various
only to rise anew
Government cashing in
on profits slowly accreted
its ours now to hold
I’m busy at work
but cant ressist coffe room
I am an addict
Would it be OK
to throw down the gauntlet and-
try forcing someone’s hand?
(if so…)
Doc Pepper is too
matter-of-factuary
to write haiku.
Totty did not win
Because his final line
Has six and not five
Please don’t buy bad stock
On imagined advice, ‘cuz
it’s not gonna rise
Coffee room break is for
a cuppa brewed hot and strong
i take red milk too
No coffee brewed drink
coca cola nothing else
will do, pepper oy vey
Coffee break over or
else not so good to hear
who would pay my rent
Citi stocks for real
low price the bad advice
will rise stick around
For the price to rise,
there will need be strong demand.
Which won’t happen soon.
Shema Yisrael
Adokai Elokeinu
Adokai Echod
(Okay, HaShem wrote this haiku.)
No coincedence
that I helped my friends write these
Just yesterday. Cool.
Traffic lights growing
closer and closer to me
as I stop on red.
In Japan haikus
have to be about nature
Here, we are lazy.
In America
They could be on anything
That’s under the sky.
Shabbat Shalom friends
It is Parsha Lech Lecha
Shavuah Tov omeyn
Good shabbos minyan
Thanx for this great reminder
Best wishes to you
Five, seven and five
What are the meanings of those
meaningless numbers?
Those people who pen
pathetic meta-haiku
need to get a life.
The Wolf
Friday Erev Shabbos
Smell Challah and Chulent
Smelled galler yesterday
Lech LeCho for your sake
Masei ovos siman labonim
We too can do good
Offer chulent to
that stranger in shul
the galler too
Yitzchok was laughter
His Arab brother was too
What is the difference
Yitz laughed at the soton
Arab laughed with the soton
Simcha kills the soton
Simcha shel mitzvos
Simcha of the shabbos day
Good Galler can help
Citi will rise once more
Use your profits to buy flanken
Great in the chulent
Five Seven and Five
Hardly meaningless at all
Japanese had a mesora
The total is seventeen
Which totals Tov for Good
Good are Torah haikus
Japan is gashmiyus
They write of earthly beauty
Torah is our reality
Japan used the haiku
To instill their idea of Joy
Joy is Torah study
Some haikus are nice
some just don’t make any sense
refrigerator
I have decided
Speaking this way is stilted
Not at all normal
done
tried writing haikus
but I came up with nothing
so I’ll submit this
fish,cheese,checkers
in the basement
a whale
the gefilte fish
has no fins,nor any scales
and trouble swimming
fish,cheese,checkers
in the basement
a whale
A haiku must have
Lines with syllable counts of
five, seven and five.
The Wolf
