(Hai) Ku.
Haiku are a bledgy lot of fun to read and write, and a great way to spend a fine arts period in college. Dingbat (Sonali) and I wrote these earlier today (with the exception of Someone’sku). Have fun!! And if you read or write any nice ones, pweez do send them to me! :)
Beachku –
Sand between my toes
Twinkling stars within my reach
It’s fun being me
By Me
Terraceku –
The inky blue sky
And its dark blanket of night
Cold whispers of wind
By Dingbat
_______ku –
Confuzzled, befused
Life is an oxymoron
Olamacheeka!
By Me
Someone’sku –
An early morning
Dressing in my warm grey flannel
Follows me to work
By Someone
Psychoku –
Eyes shut, silence screams
The tip of my nose feels cold
I really need a hug
By Me
Movieku –
Hugs and kisses in
Glorious Technicolor
Pass the popcorn, please
By Dingbat
Morningku –
The alarm is going off
I’ve already pressed snooze thrice
It’s time to get up
By Me
Plutoku –
Melting chocolate
Eyes and floppy velvet ears
Dog breath in your ear
By Dingbat
Magiccarpetku –
Wind whips through our hair
City lights beneath our feet
And drycleaners tag
By Dingbat
Café Mochaku –
Hold it in your hands
Feel its warmth seep into you
Chocolate coffee
By Me
Badgerku –
Clap! Badger badger
Badger mushroom, mushroom! *breathe*
AAAAGH!! Snake! Badger * snort*
By Me
Mommyku –
McKinley water
Scent of a tea flavored rose
I love you, Mommy
By Me
Sadnessku –
Chocodip softies
beckon. But my empty wallet
stifles my reply
By Dingbat
