When was the last time we had a go at Haiku?

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

17 syllables in three lines, divided 5 - 7 - 5, I think.

'Want to have a go?
Why not see how well you do.
Come and join me, please.'

Bless you one and all
for having a go at this
bit of fun tonight

Baby gone to bed
Cup of tea at the ready
It's time for mumsnet

My attempts are lame
compared to the rest of you
lot.

I very much doubt
that baby wipes will do the
job, Cali. Sorry.

ds2 on nork;
ds1, quite tired out, sleeps,
clutching his hedgehog.

This thread reminds me of the funny computer error haikus that do the joke email rounds every so often:

Windows XP crashed.
I am the blue screen of death.
No one hears your screams

First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
So beautifully.

With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
"My novel" not found.

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

10,000 Things
How long do any persist?
Explorer is gone.

Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

We are carpet-free
too. Out landlords painted the
floorboards cream. Germans!

Am rather taken
with this new mode of 'speaking';
concentrates the mind

My mother-in-law
the parent of my husband
and evil-doer.

Dropping off active
convos; shameless bumping is
in order

Nipping out for coff
With one of my mates nearby
Will check thread later

The Waitrose debates
That keep raging on Mumsnet
Make me feel hungry

My roast pork was saved
The washing up awaits me
But the laptop calls

When will I learn?
The washing machine works best
When I turn it on.

Bananas half eaten
youghurt on the table
yet here I am

Bless you Quint

A cold winter's night
Orion shoots arrow
he is merciless

Have you people got
nothing better to do than
posh limericks, eh?

(from DP, sigh)

Is it wrong to park
In parent and child spaces
Without a baby?

Potty snotty grotty
all topics big or small
due or undue attention
