Okay, while haikus are not my favorite form of poetry, they ARE fun to write. So, I want YOU, yes, YOU to come up with a haiku about the first thing you see when you look away from your computer screen.
For those of you who don't know what a haiku is, I'll tell you!
Haikus are an ancient Japanese poetry tradition. They consist of three lines-the first has five syllables, the second seven, and the third has five. It's your choice whether to rhyme them or not, but usually they don't rhyme.
I'll go first:

My blue denim jeans
Old, worn out, comfortable
They need to be washed...

:dieshappy: That was terrible, but it doesn't really matter. It's brain exercise, and it's fun, and can be quite humorous.
Your turn! I look forward to seeing what y'all come up with. :D

Short, I think we have a thread like this here. Is that the same as what you were thinking of?

Great idea, Eliz! Thanks for putting your time into this! :D

Because there is a thread for this already, I'm going to lock this thread :) Continue discussion on Bushy's thread that Elanor gave a link to above :)
