Catching up on posting Haiku-a-days from Haiku-a-day month

11/21:

Evolve from chimps? No.
Share a common ancestor.
Happy Darwin Day.

11/22:

"It's too big to fit!"
So they were all laughing. Why?
'Cause that's what she said.

11/23:

Here is a haiku
For those whose status reads "Bored."
GO AND DO SOMETHING!

11/24:

Viral video.
Animal makes it worth it
and Mahna Mahna

11/25:

Do a double take
But not while you're on the phone.
It's ridiculous.

11/26:

Should I write this one
of turkeys and Thanksgiving?
No. Too obvious.

11/27:

Went to the movies.
Always best when I see one
That makes my top ten.

11/28:

Some relaxation
and some time to do nothing
never seems to last

11/29:

Starting to write rules
For December because it's
Movie-a-day month

11/30:

Just ask the question.
Ready for some football? Yes.
Not that stupid song

Listen to that song
until you know ev'ry word
backward and forward.

Feelin Kinda Patton

Two more sips, he said
Sorority girl is scared.
Refill the flagon!

Fresh start

Constitution Test
I've given it many times,
but this one is new.

Liv3!

A puppet head said
Shooting star? Meteorite.
Then sang about cows.

Tasty

Vegetarian
chili is doing its job
burning off my face

Weekend Fun!

Doing the same things
But looking for something new.
It's insanity.

Where Your Eyes Don't Go

Tonight in S.F
I will Meet the Elements.
They Might Be Giants!

Striking

During a tough sweep
We watched a 300 game.
Cohesive unit.

What's the point exactly?

Teaching is a job
Where the reward for hard work
Is lots more hard work.

Too late

Getting home past nine?
I think that's preposterous.
No work tomorrow

blah

upset stomach blues
buggin me the whole day through
but! There was no puke.

Popular Science

Cockroach Stowaways
Entomology study
Mites munch moist debris


Avon, Natalie. "Cockroach Stowaways." Popular Science September, 2009: 13

Hide your mind

Take these words away
And hide them for tomorrow.
Create memory.

French Onion Soup

Unibrow on fire
Puts a twinkle in your eyes,
Saint Joan shakes her head.

The Vierendelen

Don't disembowel
yourself before a contest.
No guts, no glory.

What do hobos talk about?

The stinky old men
Debate their theories of life.
Pretentious hobos.

Muted Gyms TVs Haiku

Sleazeball defendant
versus the trashy plaintiff.
Judge Judy yells, "No!"

Laptop blues

My laptop is crap
I bought the good warranty
I need it again

Daylight Savings

An extra hour.
When should I spend it today?
Sleep, now or later.

Haiku-A-Day month is coming!

November is Haiku-A-Day month. Here are the rules.

1. As there is no prize or reward for following the rules, you may bend all rules. But because if you break the rules you aren't playing the game, no breaking the rules. Example of bending the rules: You go to bed at 2 AM, so before you go to bed you haiku for the previous day. Breaking the rules: Skipping four days and haikuing five times to make up for it. EDIT: Feel free to preload some haiku for Thanksgiving vacation. But do them before, not after.

2. Every day, a haiku must be made. More than one haiku a day is encouraged.

3. Suggested format is 5-7-5 syllables.

4. Be original. Duh.

5. Don't be ordinary.
