Some Terrible Haiku (Plus a Few Amusing Ones) - ZachFlavored

Some Terrible Haiku (Plus a Few Amusing Ones) - ZachFlavored

Here are some fairly terrible haiku that I wrote a few years ago.  These were my very first so don't expect much.  They get more entertaining toward the bottom of the list once I go into my second and third attempts.

 

Because I was bored

of watching the summer end

I wrote some haiku. 

 

The fall vacation

I journey to Nebraska

I think it will suck.

 

As the leaves turn red

I run toward the lake house

my trip has begun.

 

The fire blows hot

as the long summer night ends

and I ponder it.

 

Truth is alive

Through the grace of the cross

death is a lie.

 

Open my mind

to the things of this life

and I will die.

 

In the silence

I wait and am found

by your peace.

 

And that's the end of the first haiku experiment.

Now for attempt number 2:

 

hot or not dot com

tells me how sexy I am

great... my rating sucks...

 

And finally, attempt number 3 (created after I asked my boss for some work and he told me to write some haiku about Ritalin):

 

I think to myself

As I swallow Ritalin

Wow this makes me high

 

I used to sing and 

I used to dance and create 

Now I have this pill

 

A hyper chicken 

A pharmacist slash farmer 

A sedated bird

 

I am calm today 

I took my medication 

Man it’s boring here

 

Terry told me to 

Write a Ritalin haiku 

So here it is, ok?

 

Anyway, after this series of debacles I never wrote haiku again.

Alrighty, the next post should be better, have faith!
