Haiku is a beautiful form of Japanese poetry, where the feelings evoked by the words are the most important thing. Traditionally containing references to nature, weather, or the elements, nowadays a modern haiku can have any subject, as long as it follows the strict rhythm of three lines, containing 5, 7, and 5 syllables for a total of 17. Showcase your creative side, let out the poet within, and Impress us all with your writing skills! To start you off, here's my favourite modern haiku :

Impressive pun-Haiku! Haiku-pun… Haipun… Punhai. Wow have you all seen The superstition board tales Shivers up my spine! I know it’s all real Unbelievable yet true Feel it in my bones Rosie told me she was the one who saw Mrs. Temple and Mr. Kalojnic on the same mat… but she said they were just wrestling… She had better pick me first for dodgeball… last time I was picked last, I can’t let that happen again!

Totally agree Just the word 'karaoke' Can scare you to death (Rosie was sort of correct. It was horizontal wrestling. Dodgeball has been cancelled. Someone stole the Dodge. May have to be Subaruball. Mrs. Temple is on leave, trying to patch it up with her husband. Mr. Kalojnic meanwhile is also trying to patch things up, specifically the two black eyes given him by Mr.Temple.) Reply #43.
