Alrighty then! New rules for Haiku. I will have a go at this, I hope that I will find more great ones when I wake up!

Pushing, Reeling, Clutching
Baby in my arms
She is smiling

WSM · 03/10/2003 14:56

Oh, I thought it was 5 syllables nerdgirl. I get 3 syllables out of childhood, oops back to scholl for WSM

WSM · 03/10/2003 14:56

Or even school !

WSM · 03/10/2003 14:58

My typos are bad
My rhyming is even worse
Back to school for me

WSM · 03/10/2003 15:01

Haikus are rubbish
They have no rhyme or reason
I think I'll stop here

sunchowder · 03/10/2003 15:15

Oh WSM, Jimjams, Northerner and GeorgiaA !! Don't stop now, you are brilliant! Georgia, you have described the first three months of my pregnancy! And I adore the cranberries, almost as much as PostMan Pat--you guys get all of the fun shows and we get all of the violent ones...how does that work out? The only place I can find Dettol around here is the oriental market! I love cleaning my drains with it, that good old hospital smell...
