Hello.

Having rofled our way through your Bradley-Wiggins-inspired poetry thread, we thought we'd start the Official Mumsnet Olympics Haiku Thread.

Please do come and post your best haikus about the Games, as and when inspiration strikes.

We may well have a prize or two for the best offerings....

Olympic spirit
Traffic at a standstill
The fat cats get through

Plants sway in the breeze
Olympic village shining
Medals are to be won

American fears
About unpreparedness
Surely unfounded

KatieScarlett2833 · 27/07/2012 16:26

The relay was so exciting
The streets were alive in the sun
Shining on the happy people

Limericks are banned.
Exclusive sponsorship rights
Possessed by haiku.

TheCunningOlympicBMXStunt · 27/07/2012 16:06

I'm obviously bored.....Blush

TheCunningOlympicBMXStunt · 27/07/2012 16:05

Olympic haiku
I much prefer a limerick
There was an old man.....

TheCunningOlympicBMXStunt · 27/07/2012 15:59

Which sport shall I watch?
I simply cannot decide
Full of British pride?

Cremolavelodrome · 27/07/2012 15:21

Excitement builds
The torch will be lit this day
By who? Sporticus?

onadifferentplanet · 27/07/2012 15:16

Five colours five rings
The twenty twelve games begin
Going for the Gold

I can't do these... But I just thought I'd pony out YABU by only offering a top prize. It's Olympic themed. Surely you need a silver and bronze prize too?

:)

Alas I must

Thank god for tivo

ExitPursuedByABronzeBear · 27/07/2012 14:52

Summer is here
The torch is lit
Get the telly on

Scarredbutnotbroken · 27/07/2012 14:22

With the best intentions
I expect
I will miss most of it.

cocoachannel · 27/07/2012 14:19

Is something starting?
London so very busy.
Someone should have said.

FasterHigherBeardierDaddyman · 27/07/2012 14:06

One dream shared by all
Of faster higher stronger
And a disc of gold

OhYouGreatGreatBritain · 27/07/2012 13:58

All eyes to the Skies
Four billion waiting, watching
Thunder and Lightning.

(hopefully not!)

FasterHigherBeardierDaddyman · 27/07/2012 13:46

Breaking world records
A feat that few can achieve
With their shoes undone
