At an old job I had, my co-workers and I used to email haiku's back and forth to each other.

Write a haiku about how you feel right now! Here are the rules:

1st line: 5 syllables
2nd line: 7 syllables
3rd line: 5 syllables

Here's mine:

It's midnight right now
I had two glasses of wine
I don't think I'll sleep

Balkanoid women
Find Waxy quite amusing
E'en Debbie Datva

Angela · 07-18-2009, 05:10 AM

Bless you, StacyT
your title was like a sneeze
sleep is on its way

Debbie Datva
Has five syllables
That is the limit!

I think that when sleep
Comes on as fast as a sneeze
It’s narcolepsy!

Angela · 07-18-2009, 05:19 AM

No, it is not sleep
that is like a sneeze, Stacy.
It is your title!

Wax Frog · 07-18-2009, 05:24 AM

Show me in what way
Deb-bie-Dat-va doth comprise
'Panchak' syllables!

StacyT · 07-18-2009, 05:26 AM

Ah, I understand!
The sleep its not like a sneeze,
It is the title.

Angela · 07-18-2009, 05:29 AM

And that is why I
said "bless you" -- to keep you safe
and sound as you sleep

Ah. Now, Wax, I fear
That you have eight syllables
In your second line!

Thanks for the blessings.
I appreciate them much.
The same back to you!

Oh I am a fool
For mis-counting syllables
Forgive the error!

Deb-one, Bie-two, Dat-,
Three, Va-Four, you see, Miz T;
Where is the fifth one?

Wax Frog, you are right
My post that is above yours
Speaks of my mistake!

Even Bombadil
Hasn't caught old Waxy yet
For he is Word Master!

StacyT · 07-18-2009, 05:51 AM

Now it's twelve fifty
And I am feeling tired
Good night to all y'all!

Wax Frog · 07-18-2009, 05:55 AM

One last lame wordplay
Here is my Haiduk Haiku
Another Stacy!

Wax Frog · 07-18-2009, 05:58 AM

OK, so I lied
Haiduk can be Balkan name
But with 'j' for 'i'

this is fun · 07-18-2009, 01:57 PM

Are we all poets
Blossomed on this very day
Yes No Yes No Yes

this is fun · 07-18-2009, 02:01 PM

Who am I today
Who will I be tomorrow
Can't wait to see it!

I am on a roll
Are you on a roll with me?
Can't wait to see it!

spirit4711 · 07-18-2009, 02:50 PM

Rain pouring outside
perfectly mirrors my soul
sadness cleansing me

Angela · 07-18-2009, 03:17 PM

Woke up 4am
Went back to sleep at 5 and
Had some lucid dreams

spirit4711 · 07-18-2009, 03:58 PM

Ladies fill this thread
StacyT and Angela
with strange poetry

spirit4711 · 07-18-2009, 04:06 PM

Singing bird in tree
Reminds of my love long gone
Is she happy now?

Wax Frog · 07-18-2009, 10:27 PM

Words I thought made up
Born of Sanskrit and Hebrew
Silent chant today

Alfonso Crawford · 07-18-2009, 11:55 PM

Hat-tricks and magic—
In all my years, I've not seen

Both going unused.

Scope reply-title for a few more!

spirit4711 · 07-19-2009, 01:53 AM

ten hours' flight away
she calls, we talk for long hours
love connects with joy

skinnyninja · 07-19-2009, 02:24 AM

Hand me the pen now....
I will strangle this poem-
Like a ninja should!

StacyT · 07-20-2009, 03:15 AM

Tomorrow I will
kick some butt! And then maybe
I'll get some highlights.

Alfonso, I love this one:

Too many donuts.
Nothing poignant, here, to say;
Just lots of donuts.

Did you write it? Oh, that's good stuff!!!!
