    I wrote this to my husband, and left it at his desk at work when he was away (yes we work for the same company). Written in pencil.

    I was here.
    You were not.
    Pencil.

    People assume that
    all you need for Haiku is
    a few short phrases

    You know what they say
    about people who assume?
    I don't know, either.

    (The tl/dr the entire thread. Hopefully no one else has done this yet...)
    A haiku about getting out of bed:
    No no no no no
    No no no no no no no
    No no no no no

    Birds Fly and Kids die
    In this world filled with miseries
    Only Love is something good

    I first read this as
    "Birds Fly and Kites die"; must be
    summer tragedy.

    Belly like jelly
    Stretch marks and C section scars
    Love's incubator

  • Not food related:

    English:

    Crystal Rain falls
    Masking falling crystal tears
    -flowers bloom yet.

    Japanese:
    雨降りて
    涙隠して
    咲く花よ

    It say's the same thing. I wrote this for my Japanese Literature class. :p Corrected it in my Japanese language class!

    Strict on the rhyme scheme,
    Grades on quatrains and couplets;
    Shakespeare would be proud!!

    I just LOVE penguins
    They are so fluffy and cute
    In their dinner suit!

    Always overdressed.
    Why must the penguins show off?
    It's just Applebee's.

    I dress up at times.
    People think it's old lady
    night at junior prom.

    I'd take you to prom.
    We'd pretend to chaperone
    but we'd spike the punch.

    I don't drink often.
    but when i do, it's spiked with
    LSD and rum.

    Dog and cat in love
    At my feet, end of the bed
    Dog sleeps on cat's butt
  • 5 o'clock am,
    The gym is empty, quiet.
    This hour is my own.
