And, I have a book on traditional Japanese haiku that says the 1st and 3rd lines often rhyme. That was new to me.

These aren't mine, but I thought they might draw a giggle or two... computer geek haiku. Enjoy:
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
The web site you seek
Cannot be located but
Countless more exist.
Windows NT crashed.
I am the blue screen of death.
No one hears your screams.
Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.
A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

Two of them, actually, if you don't include the "Thank you" part at the end.

As fate would have it, my workshop assignment this week is to write a haiku (sorry Paul) and a tanka.
sunsets inspire awe
but insight more often rides
the cold rays of dawn
It shines,
this memory of young love,
like a radio--
all music and mahogany
polished to a warm glow.
As you can see, I'm not above pilfering a simile from K&L, although I've changed the associated image.

Keith, Yo. I really like these. Especially the second. hmmmm. rub chin, harken back, smile.
But I am not sure if either of them have the raw emotion of this:

one more note on this.
I thought it might be a cool idea to write a refrain to that that gives an impression of matured "old" love. a seasoned tried and true love.
just a thought.

Haikus are not an
English invention. They come
from the Japanese.
English teachers are
guilty of making haikus
considerably less fun.
