6-8-6 doesn't get it done.

Left_Shifted beware
Haiku rule mandatory
Do better next time.
What we have today is way too much pluribus and not enough unum.

Obey the meter!
Ignoring proper rhythm
Renders haiku void.

These are not haikus
Real Haikus speak to nature
Not simply meter.

Bring balmy April weather!

Inspired by contest
Learn Haiku, taking interest
TR thread... genius

Rhyme? No need, I know
But syllable rule not strict
Some just one line thick

Something about pace
Cutting the poem in half
(I'm no good at that)

Without further 'do
Spats my name, no... Spats the Bard
Pleased to join TR!

About me, a gamer
and OC'er, but leaner
my rigs, all "steamers"

Low-buck equipment
Used chips, bargain bin systems
Value- my mission.
The B130 Bomber - budget dell laptop from 2005
Pentium M 1.7Ghz pin modded to 2.26

The bus bucks and heaves
. . . Dark puddles part beneath it
. . . . . . Wet doors squeak open


The car's engine . . . shouts
One front wheel . . . lifts . . . in the curve
We become . . . a bird

Awake with wheels still spinning
Something's gotta give

Haikus are so lame.
Let's not write them anymore.

The haiku flows in sunshine
A wild ronch appears.

Murder coworkers
Everybody makes me freak
And I work from home
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

Stupid YouTube song
Puts haikus inside my brain
I don't even want
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

When thoughts wandering
Haiku screams to be released
Thoughts wander no more

Contribute something clever
Alas, no ideas.
