Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Welcome to “Sensational 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: Flames

My submission for this week:

What did I forget?
Came in here for a reason…
Flaming (%^&*)… not again?!

Next week’s theme: Connection


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):

    In all fairness, the first Haiku was done with the help of my buddy Stu. …See ShaMoo…there are benefits going to Bryden’s after the Chorister’s practice. We missed you and hope (gleefully) that you turned in early tonight.

    Snow on cedar bough.
    Lightning strike rapidly flames.
    Cool embers smoulder.

    My old flame still calls.
    Being married makes it wrong!
    I tell her no way.

    There’s a boy named jack.
    Must quickly jump that candle.
    Oo, now needs first aide.

    Keyboard flaming hot.
    Words spewing out rapidily.
    Did she get in first?

    She’s so flaming fast.
    And so darn competitive!
    Wonder if she won?

    Truth soon uncovered
    How flaming fast was she now?
    By final placement!

      Holy crap! You guys arrived within 20 seconds of each other! hahahaha! Too funny! You still won, Frankie – which, after what ShaMoo did to me tonight, is AWESOME!!!

    • Jenn says:

      Yep, Stu wrote it on a napkin tonight! Awesome. You can take credit for the rest of them though Frank!

    The fire is going

    • Jenn says:

      I was sitting here giggling as you both showed up within seconds of each other ;)

  3. ShaMoo says:

    I am trying to figure this part out: (%^&*) LOL.

    Got mine scheduled for tomorrow morning. (Only 7pm here in the middle of the pacific.) I’m linking up now so I don’t forget, so if you visit and don’t see it tonight that’s why. I promise I’m not trying to mooch visitors off your blog! ;)

    • Jenn says:

      Jess – I’ve been known to shriek “FLAMING HELL!” when irked… but didn’t want to put the whole thing in the haiku ;)

  7. Yours is hilarious, Jenn :D I somehow got all introspective and stuff…

    I most certainly know that feeling! In fact, I’m typing this while I am supposed to be packing, but I couldn’t remember what I came in the office to get, so I thought I’d just blog instead …. oh yeah, the computer. I was going to pack the computer …. :p

    I’m twenty-second
    An ornery ordinal,
    But devoid of flames.

    Cheers!

    Watching the ShaMoo / Knarf show weekly, now, has become quite the entertainment. Better continue to fan the flames of competition! Here are some offerings on this week’s word; you may notice an emerging theme . . . Must be spring!

    Didn’t get it right.
    Should have sung my notes better.
    Flaming mad, I am!

    Flame out! Down in flames!
    Expressions with clear meaning.
    Descriptive, aren’t they?

    Too steamy, was I?
    Those were just glowing embers:
    Flaming hot next time!

    Candlelight sparkles.
    The room is aglow in warmth.
    Love’s flickering hope . . . .

    Barbecue’s fired up.
    Got distracted: meat’s ruined.
    Flaming idiot!

    Feel flames of passion.
    Fires of desire: heat’s intense!
    Love’s thermometer . . . .

    Love’s flame in my heart
    Burns brightly for you always.
    Warmth. Peace. Friendship. Yes!

    ‘Til next week, my haiku heroes!!
