The Art of Haiku

Hair in my pasta
Suprise in my brunchtime carbs.
Bonus DNA!

McRats
Rats were supersized!
Running in front of my car!
Got squished by tires.

Baltimore's finest
Cat sized rats run on street.
Need the Pied Piper.

True experience
Rats on Goucher Blvd.
Made me scream out loud!

'Poss
Creature of the night
Crossing paths with my beetle
Splat. Bump. Bump. I win.

Skinny rat-like tail
Your fur fluffed like punk rocker.
Eyes shine like headlights

Roadside opossum
If you were dead, I'd eat you.
But you ran away.

Wild Turkey Bourbon
Feathers in the brush?
Turkey Lurkey on the road!
Gobble gobble. Thump.

Turkey on highway--
Why are you crossing the road?
Looking for chicken.

will you marry me-
and wear this ring forever?
till death do us part.

hey, you're invited!
we're going to the chapel
cash gifts only please.

stress of planning day
makes entire family fight.
time to go elope.

i want to marry
so i get a new toaster
and a tiara

pick ugly bridesmaids
bad hair, peach poofy dresses
makes bride look pretty

Playing pocket pool?
I see your hands are moving.
No--writing haiku.

A snowball parfait
Creamy ice cream & shaved ice
Tasty on my tongue.

Everyday it rains
Cars & children washed away
Black clouds follow me

Weatherbug goes blip
Backyard is puddle of mud
Must unplug PC

Neck pain go away
Stomach bleeding is no fun
Need to go get drunk

Band Aids on his back
Doctor forgot his needles
Don't hug him too hard

Stick some pins in me
It's Chinese Needle Torture
Human voodoo doll

Infected digit
Ingrown toenail, big toe pain
Please keep your socks on.

Get out the acid
And remove it forever
No pedicures now.

Can't stop writing now
Haiku monster is unleashed
Counting on fingers.

harry potter love
magical hold over me
hit me with your wand

snape scares me a lot
creepy, greasy, long black hair
icy chilling stare

Roman is scary
No movement on upper face
O'D on botox

Got Palm Pilot blues
PDA batteries died
No reason to live.

Lone cicada crys --
At McDonald's drive thru lane.
His solo swan song.

Red tomato eyes
Flying like a hummingbird
Leaving shells behind

Cicadas are bad
Black bodies with bright red eyes
Get stuck in my hair
-- Jenny Weasley

i just google'd haiku, and found this:

In the cicada's cry
No sign can foretell
How soon it must die.

So deep.
Here are some of mine:

seventeen year bug
large black cloud coming towards me.
end of the world near.

oh jon secada-
have you been hiding out, too?
i miss your music.

i need some protein
and want some crunchiness, too --
cicada kabobs!

chirping sound in air --
afraid to venture outside
will they attack me?

mom's old memory --
crunch under foot, bugs waist deep.
up to her tutu.

(from cybermom)
Chirping ruckus breaks
seventeen years of slumber
and fades to silence.

Lyndsey's Experience:
Mom says to me... Lynz,
Big cicada on your back.
Bad bug memory.

As I type these words...
Burrowing towards the surface
Prepare for attack.

Brood X is coming.
Load cry of the mating call...
Reproduce, then die.
