1.

Haiku haiku-u!
What was that? Was it a bird?
Was it Superman?


2.

Haiku not hard to do
Actually very easy
This one took 2 sec


3.

Must clean up the house
With broom and mop and bucket
It's like a brothel


4.

Hear the clock Tick! Tock!
Must be one of the old sort
Before batteries


5.

Watching TV box
Watching television screen
Watching the telly


6.

Whales in ocean
Large aquatic animals
Great huge bloody things


7.

Lovely things apples
Especially when hungry and
Need to eat properly


8.

Wash hair with soap and
Water - give it more body
It won't feel nice though


9.

Contemplate navel
Meditate on the fluffy
Blue lint - always blue


10.

Stars, Galaxies
Meteors and Asteroids
A few Black Holes too


11.

Lazy Saturday
And Sunday also - shouldn't
Drink so much Friday


12.

Chocolate lollies
With soft hazelnut centres
Very addictive


13.

Bird in the bush worth
Two in the hand, or something
Confusionism


14.

'You've got to stop that
Bad thing you keep doing all
The time!' 'Whatever!'


15.

Silly old landlord
Sitting up a large oak tree
Can't get down - I WISH!


16.

Have a problem with maths
Though maths may be the problem
Yes - I think it is


17.

Can't be bothered to
Clean up the house because it's
Too much like hard work


18.

Also I believe
You should do whatever you
Want in your own house


19.

Cold weather grey sky
Will there be rain? Hopefully
Thunder and lightning


20.

This will be the last one
Because I really should get
Off my arse and clean

Had me smiling by the end. I felt it was mocking the idea of a Haiku slightly which I disagree with as I think Haiku's can do things other forms can't. But still very entertaining to read ha.

I liked number 7 the best. Number 2 makes a good point although I don't spend a lot of time on what I write either. Number 15 reminds me of something you wrote once about your landlord. Nice read.

Ah, I knew the landlord would make an appearance! Dang it, MM, I bet you're one of those people who makes your friends laugh inappropriately at funerals... :D :D :D

I KNEW it! You're the deliciously irreverent sort... but I suspect you have a face that convinces everyone that you're perfectly innocent!

To me I have an odd face because it doesn't really look like anyone else's, yet I've been confused with just about everyone else (except Julia Roberts). I've never really liked it, never felt it suited me, but I'm now used to compliments (even from hetero blokes), and I have been to the supermarket and pub to see what other people look like and I must say in comparison generally it's a quite good face to have

But enough about my face - how's the weather over there?

I love the one about apples. I'm fond of apples. I live in a region that has the best apple orchards in the world, by reputation.

I also loved the one with the chocolate lollies. I'm reminded that hazelnuts are my favorite nut. Have you ever gazed upon the center of a hazelnut at length? They contain many tiny rings, like trees, and the surface is extraordinarily smooth to the touch. They are as near to perfect as I can imagine nuts being.

I used inconsistent tense. I have shamed myself.

I'm afraid you might be nuts V.R.

Yes, I have done and observed these things you recommend to hazelnuts, and I can but agree. Hazelnuts yum :)

I procured some apples today that are the most beautiful deepest red, nearly into the eggplant purple they're so dark. Haven't tasted them yet, at the time I was thinking about photographing them

If you photograph them, post pictures. I recommend natural light coming from one side.

I am nuts. Nuts about silly haiku.

You are indeed nuts
If about silly haiku
You are nuts in deed
