I like to write silly haiku poetry while at work. Here is a sampling of my efforts over the past six months, alternating with my amateur flower photography.
I hate limericks
I prefer to write haiku
This is easier

THE HAIKU TODAY
IS BY NO MEANS ELOQUENT
OR AT ALL FUNNY

EAT PURPLE CABBAGE
IT IS VERY GOOD FOR YOU
UNLIKE MOUNTAIN DEW

ALICORN PRINCESS
SHOULD BE MY FACEBOOK I.D.
SO MANY PONIES!

Beautiful sunlight
Let’s blow this Popsicle stand
And all go outside
ARG
SOMETHING IN THE AIR
IS MAKING MY HEAD ACHE HERE
I FEEL LIKE BARFING
ARG
FILL EASTER BASKETS
WITH CANDY AND TOYS, BUT KNOW
YOUR REDEEMER LIVES
ARG
It’s too nice today
to consider tomorrow’s
forecasted weather
ARG
Too much stuff is bad
Too little of anything
Is also not good
ARG
Although I claim that
APRIL is the cruelest month,
MAY can be mean, too.
ARG
NO INTEREST SHOWN
SO TODAY HAS BEEN CANCELLED
GO HOME TO YOUR CAT(S)
ARG
INDUSTRIAL SIZED
HEAVY BALLOONS SLALOMING
ACROSS THE BLUE SKY
ARG
IT’S ALWAYS RAINING
IN THE DARK DEPTHS OF MY SOUL
I NEED SUNSHINE, PLEASE
Google Weather says
That the sun probably will
Peek out of the clouds.
ARG
HOT, STICKY OFFICE
LEADING CAUSE IN CREATING
CRABBY EMPLOYEES
Perfumes can’t cover
Permeating the office
The vile stench of death

My rule with haiku is to whip one out in less than 2 minutes – usually during my breaks at work – so these were pretty raw and generally silly.
Feel free to comment!
