Some Haikus for Yous
Poor little ducky
Nobody gives him some bread
Go bite their ankles
As dawn turns to day
The dew dries on bended leaves
Who wants egg salad?
With five syllables
And now this one has seven
Here is my Haiku
Current moves quickly
Bubbles form at rivers edge
Are you my daddy?
A break from the heat
A cool breeze on a warm eve
Who ordered pizza?
Yo! Do you smell that?
What is this foul odor here?
Oh wait that was me.
Me make love to you?
Never in a million years!
That just costs too much.
Is it my turn now?
Knight to King seven, check mate.
This game of golf blows.
Are you feeding him?
The sign says don’t feed monkeys.
Hey, Get off my leg!
Some days I find peace
And peace surrounds all of me
This is not that day

Serious art form,
Count three times before you print.
Haiku blasphemy?
“Nobody gives him any bread” = 8 syllables
“Who wants some egg salad?” = 6 syllables

Good catch. I counted them all like a 20+ times, but it was late and I was tired.
I think Haiku’s are fun. Besides, the 5,7,5 rule is not set in stone. It is the general rule, not the hard fast one. The Japanese Haiku tend to be 17 mora’s long, but they are known to be longer. And they write theirs in 1 long line.
