Snowy Day Haikus


How I love pancakes.
Buttery and golden brown.
A son back from war.

Corndogs are the best.
Ketchup only please, Thank you.
Birds of a feather.

Why is it snowing?
I long for warmth and sunshine.
A land shark at sea.

I want a scooter
Must save money for Peace Corps
A dried up stream bed

Why is my work dull?
I have plenty to do here.
A lazy squrirrel.

Thank you. I'll be here all night.

I love ketchup. Spicy ketchup is even better. It clears out your sinuses while thrilling your pallate.
I need to get this book for Darla. Everytime I see that cat I think of her.
Alas, they cost too much!

oooo! Fonzie poems? That one made me laugh out loud! LOVE IT!

i remember reading that one of the forms of haiku had to have a metaphor as the last line. like summing up your feelings in the fist two lines with a metaphor creating a mental image with nature. hence all the goofy last lines in my haikus. i don't know if this is accurate. everyone seems to have their own rules....

here's one about today:

Wheat Pasta is Gross
Healthy be damned! I want taste!
A Mill of Sawdust.

Haikus are easy
They don't even have to make sense

This is timely--you guys should submit:

Gnarls Barkley is conducting a haiku contest on the band's official website, gnarlsbarkley.com.

The poem can be based on the following themes: Solitude, Pineapple, or some mixture of both.

The winning haiku will be chosen by A.B. Vidal, Chief Exectuve of St. Elsewhere (a.k.a. Emerson Dameron, a college friend of Danger Mouse).

According to the website post, Mr. Vidal writes "I reserve the right to be as arbitrary as I like in my decision-making. Enter as many times as you like. The winner will receive an as-yet undisclosed prize."

Many creations have already been posted, such as the following by James Peace Coleman: "In This Lonely World ... all i see are pineapples ... scurrying blindly."

For more information or to post your haiku, visit www.gnarlsbarkley.com.
