I think it's time for some haiku! My challenge to you: Debate global warming, the 2008 election, American bias, or just make a haiku that refers to NSG.

Five, seven, five, right?
Well I think that's how it goes..
So play nice, children!

I once planned to write one million haikus...I think I got to like three at best.

I wrote a haiku,
But it wasn't very good.
So I won't share it.

I am quite sleepy,
but I have a stomachache
which keeps me awake.

If it stopped hurting,
that would be extremely nice.
Stupid achy guts.

Haiku do not have
More than one stanza, my friend.
Try writing tanka.

you are most correct
it goes like 5-7-5
and not 4-5-5.

This one isn't mine
But I may as well show you
It's witty and true:

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense

Writing in haiku
It isn't very easy
But it is more fun

I don't like haikus.
I neither like writing them
nor reading them. So?

Why are you writing
If you don't like writing them?
In denial you are.

You're going to laugh, but I remember this haiku my sister wrote in elementary school (like a decade ago) about our cat.


I have a nice cat.
She has many colored stripes.
She is very soft.

Just trying to see
if my maths skills are still up
to snuff. Gotta check.
