    5th grade memory...
    Skateboard, face first, down a hill
    Chin into pavement.

    Limped home, showed my mom;
    Face of bloody strawberries.
    Next day? School pictures!!

    No picture make-ups;
    My mom framed busted-face pose.
    Said I was still "cute"...

    Guess it's better than
    Lamb sweater-vest and pigtails
    (1st grade photograph.)

    Moms have to preserve
    Ev'ry single memory
    It's an innate skill.

    I apologize.
    When I think "birthday" and "fun",
    I think "getting drunk". :flowerforyou:

    You need to be told, 'skills' ends with an S not Z. This is haiku too!

    I am astonished!
    I thought these were so easy,
    But it seems lots of you are unable to count the number of syllables in what you have written, or maybe you don't know the syllabic structure of haikus. A third option, of course, is that we pronounce the words differently; in which case, I'm sorry for being a troll.

    squirrels are evil.
    mine is terrified of trees
    and bites small children.

    biting kids is good--
    keeps them off my porch at least.
    so I like evil.

    it's funny to find,
    looking over some new posts;
    trolls look like Elvis.

    Flowers wilt,
    And turn to ashes,
    Cold winds howl angrily,
    Hope is almost nonexistent,
    The seeds within must never die,
    Sunshine rains down from the heavens,
    Life sprouts upward,
    To to the sky,
    Pedals form and open wide
    Life within us never dies ;)


    Idk if it's a haiku but it was fun to write something lol :smile:

    You refer to whom?
    'Cause I proofread my *kitten* well.
    Where is YOUR haiku?

    You started off good...
    First two lines follow format.
    The rest, though, sucks balls!! :laugh:

    Elvis troll thinks he's
    So intelligent with his
    Big words and sideburns

    I did post haiku,
    my second post was quoted,
    big words? Really now?

    I am not a troll.
    Sideburns are irrelevant.
    My post was a joke.

    So, the first two lines
    followed the haiku pattern,
    third line was the joke.

    I like irony.
    Perhaps it was too subtle?
    If so, I'm sorry.

    I am not a troll.
    I find the accusation
    to be upsetting.

    It is clear to me
    that I am not welcome here.
    So, now I will go.

    Hunka burnin' love
    I'm crushing on your sideburns,
    but my job says "no."

    Mustaches only.
    No beards or other fun stuff,
    just 70s porn.

    For being a troll

    So we ran with it!
