A Papyrus Treat

The Papyrus Editors did a special Valentine Haiku for this week's edition... here are some tasty treats for you.

hey, Valentines day
sometimes you give me candy
…or a broken heart

- Mine

fat man in diapers
shot an arrow in my heart
how does that mean love?

- Katie B


was asked on a date,
very unconventional
found out through Facebook

- Katie G


I wish I could give
something better for V-day
than this dumb haiku

- Rachel Brown


haiku has meter
a very rigid rule set
I don't give a crap
about it

- Jakob Lewis


Oh, how precious!
crisp red paper
in little heart shapes

today is the day
that we say to ourselves
how much am i loved?

- Steph Plant


buy coffee for two
for real cheap - are they doing
that again this year?

I want to be with
you forever and ever
and ever and ev...

- Thomas Johnson

Email Haiku

I get a haiku a day in my email from tinywords.com, and I especially enjoyed today's.

bed time...
she asks if her rag doll
can stay up late

My own...


us.
the magic
word

Monday

in class
nothing to do
but haiku

2 Days Behind

the futon
inches lower
as we do



catching myself in the mirror,
my mother
glances back

Haiku Circus

There is a haiku comic strip. My life is complete. The much-missed Michelle Yee brought it to my attention today. Please go here if you want your life to be better. http://www.haikucircus.com/index.htm

And there will be a haiku later, just in case you were worried.

Lent and the effects thereof

So... even though this is entitled "Haiku a day" I haven't realllllly done that, have I? Therefore, with angels and archangels, and with all the inhabitants of heaven as my witnesses, for Lent I will take up the practice of actually writing at least one haiku a day. 40 in total. Sunday still is cheat day. I'm already off the sauce (Diet Coke) so what else do I have to do with my time? Here's two to make up for yesterday, which was actually the first day.
