Five syllables first,
Seven syllables next line,
And end with five more.

I like halkus much.
They are so easy to write.
But they're not poems.

A haiku is actually
A poem
With seventeen syllables

Why would I do that?
Do you think I should please you?
Is that what you want?

The wheel keeps spinning,
Though the hampster is long dead,
Steady muffled thumps

/shamelessly plundered. But I likes it.

I do not get it
The strange post about hamsters
It does not make sense

This is a haiku
Seventeen syllables long
It doesn't rhyme though

My sharp kimono
Makes me like a new Spring god
Unattainable

(had to put in the last one, even though it's more of an inside joke...)
"Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it."

Build New, Clear mirror—
Broken old shards shimmer, seared—
Sweep glass into past—

Build peace, fateful gate—
Grand gravestones dancing, dying —
Fancy marble falls—

Hear hiroshima—
Silent voices sing, screaming—
Bare enduring ear—

See nagasaki—
Life radiates, dissipates—
Open one dry eye—

Build dreadful temple—
Old soldier singing, stockpiling—
Cover profane remains—

Build a tall wide wall
For the fallen Forgotten
Wield discreet concrete.

—Steve Hengeli



Oh and:

Something vacuous,
Devoid of any meaning,
Worthless poetry.

I like Massassi
but it eats up lotsa time
maybe I'm a nerd.

Maybe if I tried
I could speak like this daily
And piss people off.

In haikus I speak
But people don't understand
So they think I'm wise.

Even the monkey seems to want

Eight minutes are left
In this lovely Haiku day
See you in July.

that a date should be written
with the day in front.)

I'll rather remember Spork's haiku's

Quote:
Screwed 1 syllable
Dying has 2, dy-ing, see?
Not mo-ray, but more

Life only has one
Syllables not your strong point
English not either?

The month and date are switched in Europe.

A haiku is most often seen in the form 5 - 7 - 5 but it's very flexible.

These haikus are strange
Do all of the Japanese
Speak in this strange way?
