Constant bitterness

Youth lost for another’s sake

Withered flowers fade

 

Flossing, folding clothes

E'en having teeth pulled: More fun

Than wedding planning

 

I am not impressed

It's time to say kthxbye

I should have stayed in

 

Half tub of ice cream

Sugar into alcohol

Woke up hungover

 

Brazil for soccer

Lost the game but won my heart

Win or lose, my team

 

The fourth of July

Red blue white flags with stars

Many fireworks

 

It’s not meant for you

Bug spray was for the roaches

Sorry firefly

 

Yay it’s dinner time

Carrots in my spaghetti?

What the… Too hearty

 

Sniffle sniffle sneeze

Excuse my contagious breeze

Need a tissue please :-(

 

Standing in the hall

Waiting for my advisor

Elevators close

 

Verses sling like rocks

Taking mighty giants down

Strikes right in the head

Joy

Holding hands we lay

Unloading each one’s basket

We return the day

 

Fiery rain thunders

The fugitive stays for gold

Mother Nature wins

 

Soft pillowy dough

A cloud of powdered sugar

Mmm mmm mmm beignets

 

Your only true friend

She prevents food poisoning

Way to go THERMY!

 

Hang on , weary self!

Shining light yet awaits you

And peaceful slumber

 

Oh vegan leather

Back in my day you were just

Simply called plastic

 

My name is Congo

Followed by Pongo Rango

CPR for short

 

Like to move my tail

Like to wag it all around

It twirls in a curl

 

Fly buzz in my ear

Watch out small winged nuisance

The Swatter is near

 

I sniff the fresh air

Smells like roses, petunias

My sweat sure smells good

 

Summertime is here

Had plans to go to the mall

Fell asleep instead

 

A beautiful game

Teamwork, friendship, selfless plays

Gotta love the Spurs

 

The unsung heroes

Dressed without sword, crest or crown

Will one day hear song

When I read haiku
I hear them in the voice of
Lovely Barry White.

Call me Sir Speedy
I am a great thresher shark
I will eat you up

Flying planes is fun
And so is scuba diving
I like to pretend

Stone Pine digs its roots
far beneath the whole city;
Hear the tranquil sea.

Champion of seat
belts, airbags and drinking age:
Elizabeth Dole!

I love to travel
And stay in beautiful lands
I jump up and down


Florida is hot
I whine sadly and sweat lots
Quench it with ice cream

Tiny giggles sing
Happily above the haze
Tickle the mundane

Haiku are awesome
But sometime I don’t get them
Dumbo octopus!

I think I have a
meeting but I’m not sure
if he’s still coming?!

My toilet won’t flush
So I punched a hole in it
And now it flushes!

I went to Austin
To see black bats from a bridge
They did not take me

Having it all is
Not the same as having it
Together,  I learned.

Be true, you haiku!
What else could I do to you?
But to thine be true.

It's her conundrum
Enrique or Matty D
She falls for hero!

Toats, adorbs, cray cray.
Huh? What’s that? Is this English?
I feel old, how sad.

Love to sing it
Like to scream it all about
Haiku is awesome!
