Haiku You

It would be so cool
If I could talk in Haiku!
Would people notice?

How can you find out?
You should try it, just to see
If theyre listening.

Banned. :mrgreen: No, I'm kidding.
But you should give it a try
Before you butt in. :lol:

Haiku I hear here
is three lines, first five, last five
and middle seven sylbs.

to cheat in haiku
by shortening a word is
naughty lafoto bad!

jocose · Nov 18, 2005

Lafoto, so close.
Remove syllables to read
"and middle seven"

you're too critical
Line three has an extra beat
only five on three

Hey, now shes trying
It takes a little practice
Now, lets let her try!

I would try it out,
But I count on my fingers.
And that looks silly!

Almost all are real
Fat man was a true story
See the links below

(That one is not real.
The whole haiku should connect
with a cogent thought.)

Just now I woke up
I'm not a morning person
Please leave me alone.

Or give me coffee
That would perk me up real quick
That sounds really good :drool:
