Oh where would I start
And oh my where would it end
Oh not a good idea.
My dirty dishes
They linger in the kitchen
I despise the smell.
(And now I’m giggling.)
Love that one! I can relate.
Awesome.
Loud mouths follow me
Everywhere in Target, ahhh!
Where is the mouth plug?
Olá a todos, haicai significa um poema japonês, como não sei nenhum poema japonês, escrevi hoje o que está me incomodando e muito no meu blog, convido a todos a lerem o que escrevi lá.
Saúde Receitas e Curiosidades.
Abraços a todos!
Mina!
when its time to move on-then move on already
I love haiku. Thanks for the valuable tips.
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don’t make sense
Refrigerator
=]
Poems!! I’ll stuggle…. Thanks for the challenges!!
It drives me nuts. I do not know,
What is a haiku. Am I slow?
Tell me someone, reveal all
Before I slowly climb the wall
You just have to count
Five syllables on line one,
Then seven, then five
Nice one!
Liked it!
Extremely clever hehe
Inspired.
Looking in very expensive art galleries in Mayfair and seeing utter tosh in the windows for sale (my granchildren can do far more artistic, interesting things, so can I) with price tags in the thousands.
We are being conned. That rubbish takes minutes to produce and I can’t see why the Art World falls for it! It really does drive me nuts. I have a life long dream to put on an art exhibition with half the stuff painted (on huge canvasses) by 7 year olds, with HUGE price tags on them – and muddle them up with these ones – and challenge the art world to be able to tell the difference. Might shove in a few of my strange efforts too and hope for the best. You never know. Weird people think weird are wonderful!
Ha. Haiku. I wrote 900 words on what drives me nuts. What’s it take to feel rich? That’s just one thing that drives me nuts.
Yes April is coming soon,
The taxman rubs his hands with glee
Bank account sobs with despair
(taxman is supposedly 2 words
but for my attempt at writing haiku
I’ll close an eye haha!)
Blatant corruption and widespread media ignorance when it affects the government – who still regardless of people thinking we live in a free world with freedom of speech are spoon fed whatever agenda suits their needs.
Having been fighting for three years to expose a sector of corruption which has been covered up, censored, blatantly ignored and suppressed by the Greek media and the larger European health sector, one which falsely claims to be involved in people’s rights and the safety, security and confidentiality of the patients has manipulated them and the general cause that they shamefully represent.
This ignorance sadly falls on the larger international community which has also opted to ignore their duties and allowed such malpractice to be implemented at government level in so many areas that affect us all.
Corruption is one thing, allowing the safety and health of vulnerable people to be abused is quite another.
The harsh reality of organisations which shelter in ignorance and allow such systematic abuse to take place is highlighted here and I think most people would be driven nuts by it when it is enforced at government level :

Morning teenager
Making breakfast just for him
Shoot! forgot his lunch
Oh God… How could I write something I don’t now…
I have never heard “haiku” before…
Thanks to Erica to introduce me this all brand new Japanese thing
*currently reading about haiku in wikipedia

Thanks for the prompt!

What happened with Twitter? You haven’t posted for ages on it!
Hmmm…after a look at Wikipedia, perhaps my haiku is a bit “unseasoned”, but here’s my go at it
:
Nuts is not the word
See a world awash in pain
Horror is the word
Written with a twist . . . per usual.
Violence.. and unrest…!!
I like this one, my 1st haiku for my blog

Thanks Erica for picking this inspiration from Plinky and suggesting it here
Funnily enough, I started writing silly haikus! I just had to laugh when I read this challenge. My contribution to the pile is posted on the blog! Would love for y’all to come and say hello
It’s the weather that’s driving me nuts. It’s mid March and it’s snowing. I dropped my iphone in the snow and thought it was gone for good. Got it, though. Phew.
at the salad bar
sneezing snotty faced children
where are your parents?
~oh i’ve never written a haiku before…esp. in english O.O
…ummmmm oh here i go…
just written a haiku
good or bad
haiku is a haiku
;D lol, i have noooo idea…;P feel free to critique it ;P
I had to bring in an expert for this one. First grader Miyake Nobuhiro wrote “Haiku” below. It’s one of the poems in “Festival in My Heart: Poems by Japanese Children”.
HAIKU
My mother
did the laundry
and I read a book.
I remembered two parts -
Ah, what silence is!
and
Early summer rain.
I was watching the weather
and suddenly
a haiku came:
“Again there is rain
falling, and we’re in trouble -
the laundry is out!”
- Miyake Nobuhiro, first grade
Wonderful, isn’t it?

Haiku in English!
You think it is five.
It is not about vowels.
It can never work.
Erika Johnson, great topic. I blogged about this today. The reason, I think its a great topic, because it help people vent their frustration and anger in fun, creative and hopefully a destruction-free manner
. I love haikus! =) So much easier than writing a poem, especially one that rhymes 
Unsecured & restless teenagers of the century,! They r very smart & clever but lack patience.
My little addition:
The painter absorbed,
creating life from colour;
at one with his work.
Just noticed: that’s not quite what the title wanted, so I’ll add one one to cover when I’m busier than I’d want – that ‘drive’s me nuts’. With a nod to JKRowling.
The hours fly by,
there’s so much more still to do;
Where’s my Time-Turner?
Just let me pass
I don’t need an A plus grade
Just give me a hand
After the earthquake
blaming Japanese leaders
for slow response time.
Mine.
Geese in my driveway.
Won’t let me get to my car.
Hope they fly south soon.
