Everbody loves a good haiku, right? So what I thought I'd do is, I thought I'd like to start a thread where people can post haikus.

And that's just what I did.

Enjoy.

Delivery Boy

Hey! Cool bike there, son;
just one word of advice, punk;
stay off the sidewalk


Spring

High-heels on sidewalks;
miniskirts are all the rage;
hormones in full gear


Bus Driver

Where do you get off?
you scowling, reckless spazzoid;
heart-attack is near


Keep 'em comin.

Actually, my Korean students just did some haikus. Here are a couple of theirs
(without titles, as per Japanese tradition):

Rain had come to me
Rain is angry to people
Rain destroys flowers

I loving myself
My mind everyday happy
My family too

Cloud is sad... He's alone.
Sky is dark... Where is the sun?
A cloud cries. He's sad.

Strawberry is red.
It has green hat and freckles,
I love it very much.

Cookie is funny!
I can make everything...
Then I love cookie.

My wish is famous.
Because I make much money,
And I'll be happy.

Hey there ajosshi!
Dressed in your shiny new suit.
Don't spread your legs so.

Hello young schoolgirl!
In your hot wool uniform.
I dig your large calves.

Hruck, hruck, hruck, hruck, hruck!
Just like a leukemic cat.
Who wants your mucus?

Twenty won a bag?
Highway robbery, I say!
Hundred won a cup.

O! President Roh!
Pride goeth before a fall.
I met your daughter.

This kid is a severely underappreciated genius.

Jimmy, where's your book?
Jimmy, put that table down
And stop hitting Bill

Yellow sand pillow
I sleep on the street tonight
I miss my mistress

Business men abound
Holding hands and scratching balls
Where's your pink dog fool?

Haikus about Iraq
===========

The brave, the young, the free
The smell of eminent danger
How I wish to be home.

Dirty-minded crooks
The sacrafices we've made for your money-laundering hands.
All of this for a buck.


That's all I could come up with. Your turn.



Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Largest apartment
Make a garden without soil
Never walk the dog

We lost track of time
We wanted to have two kids
Hyundai just fired me

Mountainsides green
as azaleas down here fade --
are those frogs I hear?
