It will come as a surprise, I'm sure, that I don't follow rules very well--unless I make them, and in that case, if I make them, I can break them. See how that works? Anyway, I'm homesick today, so I'm dragging out the Haiku of my starlit nights on the lake.
It's important to understand that my Haiku is all kinds of bastardized. I mean, since it will never realize its true parentage, I've named it Fraiku. Naturally, it's pretty deep stuff--a soothing salve for your blue Monday.
Watch out
ducks paddle to the docks
to poop.
May on LBJ
the hills have eyes and
binoculars.
Moonlight and tipsy,
Walking the plank with Heinies.
Whoa-o-o-oa!
Fan overhead
circulates the air and
the bullshit.

I will never look at Haikus the same way.
Kinda threw me with the "May on LBJ" thing. Thought for a second that you might be a bit too much into our 36th President until I realized it was a lake you were on not Mr. Johnson. He he. Mr. Johnson
Reminds me like a combination of Haiku and limmerink.But then again aren't they suppose to embellish a thought?Fraiku on!
As only a Texan can do! This is good stuff. Makes me laugh out loud. Whoa! EFH
Me thinks yer twisted.
"to poop" made me smile ;)
miss you tons, girlie.
I sort of love this and that kind of worries me! No I really do love this. And I never worry because it gives you wrinkles.
Better than any Haiku I've ever read!
Kind of reminds me
Of the Fractured Fairy Tales
Your fractured Haiku
I like them. Who needs rules?
i particularly like "Whoa!" as a five syllable word. works for me and my family...
Hey, I LOVE the one about the ceiling fan! So many moments of my life like that from a very early age.
that's a Fraiku if I ever heard one! ha! doo-deeeee!
Oh well done. You are a master um Fraikuer:)
Still trying to decide on the syllable count in "Whoa o-o-oa"....
(You need to write some Miami Vice-style haiku now.)
umm. er. sweet? I guess?
Poetry is totally lost on me.
Sorry.
Oh, I think you should forever more write in Haiku
You call it bastardized? LOL
That's one messed piece of haiku brilliance.
I'm with Kristina. I will never see Haikus in the same light--thanks a LOT. :) The final one is hilarious, by the way. (And me? It's the old Gropius; I gave the old blog a face lift.)
LOL...god you crack me up...love that snoopy picture...my little lady is obsessed with snoopy these days..I am sure she would love it...good thing she can't read. :) Love your invention of fraiku. :)
I bet you could do a whole one with just whoa ;-)
Beautiful! I'm wiping away a small tear as I read... (sniff)
your Fraiku was better than any Haiku I've read!
I'm likin' that last one. Yep, a fan can circulate it all.
Some good ones, but my fav contains "the hills have eyes and
binoculars." So true today!
I thought of the ceiling fan haiku first thing this morning. So many things to bring it up. Today: "Who's going to design Kate's wedding dress?"
Love the ones about ducks. Make sure you're not wearing your good shoes then.
Rules are overrated! This was fun.
Happy Thanksgiving. I hope it's a great one for you.
Cheers, jj
the heinie part is speaking to me!
I don't think I'd like a fan that does that...but I like these Fraiku!
Don't be blue, Liar. Wind is up at the lake. Cold front due in soon. No stars tonight.
Gather with those that you can come Thursday.
A touch of haiku appetizer to start the holidays!
Kindred spirits I am a rule breaker too...Happy thanksgiving
LOL! This is... great!
