Haiku

Slow motion rain day
puddles are slow to react
lazy trees swaying.

My back hurts like hell.
Better for me to lay down...
What a crappy day!

These shirts look so dirty
I wonder how can I wash them?
With Ariel detergent, yes!

What are you wearing?
That sounds rather tight fitting.

Tomorrow's the day!
BASEBALL! Cubbies! Hot dogs! Sun!
Winning? I doubt it. 😞

Fluffy fibres from belly button
playful fingers, prying nose
repugnant scent, yikes!

When I teach haiku (which, being an English teacher, I do quite frequently), I teach five rules:

1: Three lines.
2: Seventeen syllables.
3: Arranged 5 syllables in the first and third lines and 7 syllables in the middle line.
4: Must contain a reference to nature.
5: Must contain something 'good' and something 'bad' ( I use those words advisedly. A haiku should have positive and negative aspects, a little like ying and yang - hopefully, I've got that right.)

Note to Lysander -
Nice rules, bad presentation.
Rewrite them for spring.

report cards are done
three quarters are history
the cycle goes on

A wagon barely
lags then leaps
behind a horse
