I have an irresistible urge to Haiku
I'd love to see some replies but, if you are going to post, please keep it clean; no explicit language.

I'd hate to disapoint my friends by having this post locked as a sex thread.

The topic is implicit. Be cute, be clever, be clean.

Here goes...

revealing secrets,
bright light shines on Mount Venus
behold the moonrise.

1. There once was a man from Madras....
green gold red and brown
falling falling falling down
autumn all around


(I wrote that in 5th grade for a class haiku project.)

but one I like:

Haiku's can be nice,
But sometimes they don't make sense.
Refridgerator.

5. Here's one of mine
I did britney earlier but I will do something more in tune with nature:

Ice falling from clouds
Crusted slick on hill and tree
Sunlight makes it shine

7. A memento
Ice storm in Texas
branches sheathed in a thick glaze
singing like wind chimes

8. Ah, Dallas ice storms
You can keep them. I was there for a nasty storm in December of 2000 (2 inches of ice on everything in like 1 hour). It sucked! Never comming back to Dallas, EVER, as a result.

Here's the Britney one:

Naked private place,
With photographic witness,
Helps the waning fame.

10. More Haiku
Iraq

We are there now, why?
Evil men thought thought they could win
dead boys and girls, sad

11. From a previous time
the sun brightly dawns
bright light soon envelops us
faux pas becomes chic

throughout the vast land
radiant maidens follow
her bold example

the eye is well pleased
i smile quite contentedly
a new fashion thrives

13. I liked those. Too bad the fun was spoiled

mask that hides beauty
for none but fools do wear it
cast it off anon.
