Haikus

Here's the deal folks, I'm including a link to a website about haikus and, after reading a few of them, I will be expecting you to do one of two things: post a 250 word reaction to some of the haikus you read or write three (3) haikus of your own.  If you don't know the rules of a haiku, better check, because I will count off if you don't follow them.  For the follow up, you can either do a 100 word response or write two more haikus.  Have fun with this one.  First response up by Thursday night (04/07) and 100 word response up by Sunday night (04/10).  http://haiku-poems.50webs.com/

    Don't judge. Here are my three.

    Humid day is here
    Thunderstorms approach at dusk
    Cool the night will be

    Sitting with a pie
    Staring with light flaky crust
    Now there is just crumbs

    Drinking beer is great
    Finishing a keg is not
    The world is spinning

    Also I have a funny wallpaper on my computer that has a refrigerator running with a smile with this Haiku along the right of the picture:

    Haikus are easy
    But sometimes they don't make sense
    Refrigerator

    Only cause it rained today...
    Sitting in the rain
    My body feels very cold
    I hate being wet

    Playing music loud
    All I feel is my guitar
    The tone is soothing

    Breaking to Lil' Wayne
    I attempt to do a freeze
    I fall on my back

    The lotus flower
    Sits calmly on the water
    But the wind takes it

    The cat chose to speak:
    It won’t matter where you go
    So long as you go

    A flash of gold light
    A high note over the crowd
    The trumpet dies down

    The day is over
    Class was pretty rough today
    It's time to relax

    Laying down in bed
    My alarm won't stop sounding
    Math sounds terrible

    I'm broke as can be
    Searching all day for a job
    Economy blows

    This food looks awful

    Watching "Hey Arnold"
    This show brings back memories
    Got to love cartoons

    The game is over
    The streak of thirty is gone
    What to do now

    Laying in the sun
    Getting my tan on all day
    No one likes Sunburn

    Kicking it old school
    Watching some old Hey Arnold
    Monkey man is cool

    I woke up smiling
    Thunder and lightning outside
    Classes are cancelled. =)

    Flowers are blooming
    Their bright colors are perfect.
    Because, hey, its spring!

    I looked in the ground
    And see a hole in my shoe
    It looks disgusting. (Hahaha!)

    I got out of bed,
    Then looked outside the window
    I see the sun smile.

    I’m black, and she’s white
    We were all born different
    But we’re all equal.

    Stein sits on the sails
    endlessly, gray demon floats
    gladly, ragged elms


    Ego rots our brains
    It takes apart our judgment
    But we just move on

    Here are my three (: I decided to put my response in the same post since I'm just doing two more haikus (:

    Dancing with the stars
    Hoping for a new journey
    Why did I give up?

    Independent girl
    You always want to be right
    For once take a chance

    Free land to explore
    Changes take over the world
    There is a city

    Weird indie person
    Different style is your goal

    Lying on the grass,
    Looking at the deep blue sky.
    Nothing feels the same.

    Response:

    I hate this weather.
    Sunny and bright day outside.
    Just want to stay home.
    This wasn't easy,
    And it took a lot of effort.
    But here we are now.

    The ones in the response were supposed to be separated, but for some reason they didn't show up like that.

    Jamaican gangster
    Smokes cigarette with hacked hand
    He’s fucking crazy mon.

    If it took longer
    I might choose not to stay here
    Leaving isn’t patient.

    Covered in all white
    Speed makes exhilarating ride
    Peaceful mountains home.

    Warm sandy beaches
    This is the land of my birth
    Jamaica no stress :)

    Fixed gaze on the brightest one
    Make my wish come true

    The Lights are so bright
    The air is so cold at night
    These are beginnings

    Looking down the sights
    My Finger on the trigger
    War is so painful

    Sweating in the sun
    My body exhausted
    Hard work saves our souls

    The library sucks
    I see it more than my dorm
    Good thing there's starbucks

    Music lights the night
    Dancing is my way of life
    Singing makes me smile

    I wish I could sleep
    I never sleep anymore
    School kills me so much

    A new day
    Full of achievement and goals
    A brighter future.

    On the computer
    Writing a Haiku for English
    This is life.

    Memories and memories
    As time passes you by
    The power of thought.

    Approach the soft bed
    Lay down and listen to songs
    Awake to silence


    Baseball starts in the spring
    When it ends a new sport comes
    Unless lockout stays


    Rain and thunder come
    Hope I get to see the sun
    I watch a movie

    Music moves through me
    through veins, arteries, and heart
    it ends at my tush

    Fried chicken and Fries
    they please buds but block the flow
    oh so yummy though :)

    Late nights in college
    papers, pancakes, and facebook
    it doesn't get better

    Bought a new pack
    Took one out of the box
    Slowly killing myself

    The game has ended
    The Mets loss again
    Worst team in baseball

    Took my book to the library
    Started doing this week’s homework
    Calculus is too hard

    I lay sleeping for to long

    Stops and becomes a rainbow
    I’m feeling peaceful

    I misread the directions, this is the response:

    Walk around, see lights,
    All is closed or expensive.
    Disney is boring.

    Short trip seems so long...
    I thought this would be more fun.
    I want to go home.

    Wake up drunk every day

    Look, peaceful sunsets
    Warm air and blue skies all day
    This is the good life.

    Rain fails bitterly
    Lightning splits the darkened sky
    I must stay inside

    Patiently waiting
    The great tiger stalks its prey
    It lunges for lunch
