PJ- Haikus

Hai*ku (noun)- a form of Japanese poetry with 17 syllables in three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, often describing nature or a season.

Here are some I've come up with:


Once upon a time,
there was an ugly midget.
A fat man ate him


Ms. Chiang teaches class.
She has great lesson ideas.
We blog and email.


In one's private heart
things go on that can not be
put down on paper


Because you are fat
Aliens will abduct you
to make themselves fat.


Haikus are silly.
It's hard to write seriously
with only 3 lines.


Seven, a number.
Above 6 and below 8.
Counting: 6,7,8.


I have to say this:
I really, really do want...
You know, nevermind.


After a quiet night,
during which no life did stir,
a vibrant morning.


Thirty years after,
people will still be mourning
for those lost today.


I am hoping that
years later, when I see these
I'll like what I did.


As the music plays
children are born and old folks
find a better place.
