The Haiku Thread

The only problem
with haiku is that you just
get started and then

I saw one on facebook the other day that left me much amused. As close as I can remember, it was something like this:


There once was a man
from Nantucket who preferred
haiku to limericks.

 

[CauliColin]

Been out walking dog
Did not realise that I
Took her out 3 miles.

 

[Jay2U]

Old car has been sold

New one uses less fuel

Saves dough for new bass

 

[elgecko]

Two thousand and twelve
Quickly coming to an end
Time keeps on ticking

 

[Jay2U]

Need new calendar
Mayas did run out of ink
New one should last long

 

[Jay2U]

Just bought a new house.
Detached, playing loud allowed.
Let's hit the bass hard.

 

[Bassist4Eris]

Congrats Jay2U
Now crank it to 11
And take a solo!

Our cat Sasha claws,

at the rat fur covered cabs,

my squirt gun aims true

You're living the dream
not strictly American
for Euro folk too

The nature of cats
sometimes nice, often they claw
cats can be ***holes!

My basses are great,

why am I on this website?

I should go practice.

Because your cat claws?

Maybe it does not like bass?

Try a different style?

 

[bassfran]

Fears my acoustic,

I guess he's a 'fraidy cat,

maybe my singing?

 

[Jay2U]

The house aint too big
Gonna move in seven weeks
We'll bring the roof down...

 

[elgecko]

Who's Thomas A. Swift?
He invented the tazer
Dude...don't taze me bro!

 

[Jay2U]

Two weeks remaining
Until the new house is mine
Sure it will be fine

[UncleFluffy]

In-laws are coming
Honey-do list grows so long
New pair of arms, please

Only now just found this thread?
