I've been thinking about starting a Haiku (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku) thread now we have a place for it. So post your haiku here. I'm not going to fuss over the subject matter or the finer points of the art. Just follow the basic form, 5-7-5.

-edit- I added a link to a definition of Haiku.

O Blue Screen of Death;
Where is my document now
destroyer of words.

(Haha, good stuff Lorax!)

After much shaking
Pandora's coke can awaits
Frosty rage within

The last has fallen
Many bodies here to loot

Here is mine:

Spring

Fragile plants budding,
Craving the sun's gentle rays,
Warmer days are here.

It Stinks

Many flies buzzing,
Intestines unfurl like rope,
The horse is dead, Jim.

The Server is Down

Gerbil runs on wheel,
Spinning happily in place,
Until the wheel breaks.

Fire falls from the sky,
Silence fills the dead city,
A lone mother cries.

The dog needs out now
Hurry, hurry, open the door
Too late: steaming pile.

Ok, stories are more my thing than poetry :P

Birds chirping in trees
wind blows gently this morrow
cool grass under tree, sleep

It is a atempt

Hastily death comes
Bringing sorrow and anguish
My life may be next.

Blossoms in the wind
Making beauty in the sky
What a simple joy.

Realism?

Darkness closing in
Death's wretched fingers hold me
Resurrect Now? yes.

The nights are the worst.
Zombies come searching for food.
Darkness falls again.

My mind is seeking release

Awake and pissed off.

Cyber Slave:

The bright screen traps me
I now have been ensnared, no!
Slave to a machine.

Soda (like you didn't expect it? :P )

Powerful soda
Fails to give me energy
Yet still drags me down

Ode to Gaming

Silently weaping
Draining all of my sadness;
This game I shall beat

No one understands.

Cat Haiku

You must scratch my rear!
Yes, above my tail! Behold,
elevator butt.

Full Disclosure- this is not entirely mine, I read something like this somewhere a while back, but I have been using it for so long that I forgot where. Still, it is appropriate :-)

A simple poem
From our Japanese brothers --
Five, seven, five. Ah!

The clock is ticking.

No mindless drivel,
But, then again, no "moo-lah";
Leaving work early!

Frost bites at my nose,
And chill wind toussles my hair,
But, mmm, a warm scarf.

Yay! Vacation time!
Time to visit my loved ones.
Time to board the dog.

When I visit my loved ones,
I board a fast plane.

My dog would be mad.
