Anyone can chop
Take a photo, work with clay
How well can you write?

Twenty-six letters
Make seventeen syllables
What's so hard about that?









Oops.

Come on, go for it
You know you want to show off
Now here is your chance!


:P
I suck

Already entered
At least three snazzy haikus
All better than this.

lol

I dont understand
Why everyone is asking
These silly questions?

The link is in blue
In the original post
enlightenment waits

Is this going to be
like the alphabet contest
thread? Will we now have

A whole discussion
written in the form of some
haiku poetry?

Are the best hakius
The ones that do not appear
as haikus at all?

Or should a poet
Strive to make a Haiku that
is sheer poetry?

One writes for oneself.
That said, humor scores well here.
Wiki-pure or not.

To amuse users
Requires a lot of thought
That oft eludes me

But try as I might
They remain an ugly sight
And never look right

This thread is dying
Time to give it CPR
To gain more entries

There once was a man from Nantucket.
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
His daughter (named Nan)
Eloped with a man.
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.




What?

Enter the contest
Follow this link to see it
Entry's wasted here

;-)

What is the limit
On the number of entries
That one can submit?

Fanatic said 2 years ago 11/12/2009 11:28:12 PM EDT

There is no limit
There is no limit at all.
Submit all you want!

Off to dominate
I must not procrastinate
No, I must create!

Aww, Come on Jago
It would have been way cooler
if you'd said above

Is it a haiku should hapless writers eschew the carriage return?

What is a Haiku?!
it sounds like an awful dish...
better start cooking.

Anything that brings
Our Nix Triple 6 back home
Has got to be good!

very sweet of you...
but that's certainly lacking
Lots of cruelty, dear :D

Addicted to Worth.
Should be writing a paper,
Instead a haiku...

Let me try this thing
Although I can not do it...
My first try... worthy?

Japanese forms lend
Elegance to English for
Portuguese writers ;)
