More Haiku

Curling is nice

Hockey is almost better

Alpine skiing is best

I don’t like the fact that complimentary words are the first one syllable word that come to my mind so as when I find people sweeping in front of round stones to try to take out each others stones mildly boring, I can only say that that it is good.  Another haiku:

Other trucks are frail

Chevy is the best one yet

“This is our country”

To be frank with you we don’t like Chevrolet a lot.  They pollute a lot.  That is why we don’t like them.  Last one:

Complimentary

Hot and sweet hotel breakfast

Hidden costs

We got the idea of this because I am in a hotel.  I had waffles for breakfast.  I am excited that I am doing haiku again on my blog.

Jake the pillow-snake

Digs into a cake

Jake likes his good cake

This haiku was inspired by Dr. Seuss’s book I Can Read with my Eyes Shut.

Quick queen of Quincy,

and her quacking quackeroo

plus the friendly snake

I got the idea for this haiku from Dr. Seuss’s ABC.  this idea is a good one one of my best.  First you take a book (in my case, it is Dr.Seuss), take a sentence and make a haiku out of it.

A mountain is great

a good placed cabin is better

a nice meal is ideal

I got my idea from last summer where I stayed in a rented cabin. Another haiku for a cheap cabin

A cheap cabin nice

an expensive cabin, good

a cheap house better

I came up with the idea with that haiku because because the cabin was cheap but not a terrible place.  not an “ideal resort” (for the house.  we like the woods so the placing was ideal but the shower did not have a shower curtain so I had to use the bathroom beforehand which was not so ideal.)

A couple of times I have tried to learn the haiku sequence and have failed.  Then I learned it from Pizza, Pigs and Poetry by Jack Prelutsky.  In the past few hours I have gone absolutely crazy about it.  Here are three haiku that I have written today.

Pumpkin orange good

The table is nicely brown.

Nice descriptions, eh?

Desolate feelings

No Legos: no life.

I find the place in haiku that I have a jam in is finding a way to convey my thoughts in the syllable sequence that it takes to make haiku. I find haiku calming.  You may be different.  Here is a link to WikiHow with good instructions and tips for writing haiku.
