Haiku du jour

Mornez mahaha.
--What? You've never heard "good morning" in Bridigian, the language of western Ireland? =) Oh, okay, I'll admit that I'm not that smart-- a previous job is where I learned that oh-so-useful phrase.

I hope that you are enjoying a good weekend. This upcoming week will be a liiiitle different here in Blogopolis. I've been challenged to post a haiku a day for the next week. The gauntlet has been thrown down. So...(sound of echoing bugle call) let the First Annual November Haiku-a-Thon begin! And if anyone cares to join in, we can even have a Haiku Off. (cue "West Side Story" music with snapping)

80s trivia
Makes me feel quite trivial

Newhart's "dream bathroom"?

Hello, Leprechaun
How are you this fine day?
Goodbye, Leprechaun

I can't quite remember the rules for Haiku. Refresh my memory, please.

Do the haikus have to be our originals?

Alison Bryant said...

Ah, we have some takers. I'm leaping to answer your questions...

Need not be your own
Five, seven, five syllables
Yep, that's all there is

Wow, y'all crack me up! I feel like I'm listening to some surreal, spoken-word haiku opera.

And does anyone else have the growing suspicion that Yoda was a haiku fan? When I read several of these, in my mind I hear them in Yoda's voice. Um, I think I need a nap now.
