Silly Haiku Wednesday
Welcome to “Silly Haiku Wednesday!”
Click here for info and background on this weekly event!
The basics:
Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)
This week’s theme is: The Road
My submission for this week:
Crossroads or dead end?
So many speed bumps to dodge
Time will tell the tale
Next week’s theme: Freestyle (whatever you want!)
Feel free to continue challenging your own visitors – we’re having far too much fun not to share!
Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List
To participate in this week’s event, please use the following code in your post on your own blog (if you don’t have a blog, post your Haiku as a comment):
Wow, I’m first! The benefit of being a night owl.
What a great haiku! Wouldn’t expect any less! Happy Haiku Wednesday!

my first time here, though I’ve tried my hand on haiku writing once or twice!
better be it a crossroad!
happy wednesday!
Very cute I am I think of the same mind as you Jenn just read and you’ll see what I mean.

And what a tale it will be I’m sure. Well done. Have a great Wednesday :)

OK I did my eminent eight thing too today so you can have a nosey, I did it in a bit of a rush so hopefully I’ve written reasonably sensible answers!
Great haiku, I was going to do something along the lines of the road of life but I ran out of time and inspirations! Todays will have to do, I’ll try and come up with something more inspired for next week!

I really like this one. I pray that someday, I can avoid those wily speed bumps.

I don’t know why my correct tag isn’t showing up. This will take you to my haiku if interested: http://5thsister.blogspot.com/2010/01/silly-haiku-wednesday-road.html

I like your haiku. I tried to think of something a bit deeper, but my head started hurting! I really enjoy yours!

At road side I sit
Sniff? Shoe odoriferous?
Egad! Its dog sh*t
On the road I rap.
Blame Jenn and ShaMoo I say,
For lines end with ‘Crap’.
Is the grass greener?
As I look across the road.
Hey! Chicken beat it!
Luv
Knarf :)
Ah Knarf, you do make me giggle :) And thanks for giving these to me on paper last night – I may frame them!
Now we’ll see if ShaMoo and John-Boy are up to the challenge. I think they might both be chicken.
Hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!

Hi, Jenn — Thanks for not giving up on me! I do love the haiku fest!
.-= 21st Century Housewife´s last blog ..Poetry Slam! =-.
I wrote mine on Monday and went freestyle with wild abandon. :)
.-= tmc´s last blog ..Silly Haiku Wednesday: Games we play =-.
Love it! I just read “The Road” my Cormac McCarthy. Now that was a rather depressing read!
.-= Teri´s last blog ..focus on: getting better =-.
Hey Teri – thanks for stopping by! Why not join us??
I would LOVE to leave you a message when I stop by your place (which I do, often) but you don’t have Name/URL enabled still! What’s a gal to do?!
By the way, folks, ShaMoo sent me a haiku via email! So there’s only one hold-out from my group, and he’s being a stick-in-the-mud. I will get a haiku from him one day though, come hell or high water.
This week was definitely an emotional haiku for me.
And I hope time has a positive tale to tell for you.
.-= Jessica´s last blog ..Nothing silly about this haiku… =-.
Thanks, and I wish like anything you didn’t have those experiences – at any age. *hugs*
Love this one!!
.-= Lee the Hot Flash Queen´s last blog ..The Twelve Traditions =-.
Love this theme, and yours is wonderfully thoughtful.
.-= stephanie (bad mom)´s last blog ..bonding =-.
Folks, I stand (ok, sit) before you, humbled. I did, in fact, get a haiku from that last hold-out in my group, John-Boy. It seems that he caves to guilt trips. Who knew?? (I did… I knew he wouldn’t turn me down!)
Here it is, for your viewing pleasure:
You are all so smart.
Words fail me; no good at this.
One day, I will learn!
He’s better than he thinks, isn’t he?!
It takes so little to make me smile. He made me smile. So did ShaMoo, with hers:
Sorry to miss out
Was “Lego-ing” with my boy
Off to eat lunch now
Ok, neither of them went with the theme, but I can’t complain. And of course, there are Knarf’s, above – he always does the theme.
I LOVE my group. They love me. All is right with the world.
Phew….glad we didn’t disappoint. Getting me to do a Haiku is one thing…asking me to add a theme on top?? Oye….too much stress!! Haha!
You guys always come through for me – in spades. I’m never disappointed.
…and it’s my sworn function in life to stress you all out. Mission accomplished!
