Haiku Tuesday 19 – Favorite Movie

In honor of the Oscars, pick one of your favorite movies and write a haiku about it.

“I need your clothes, your
Boots, and your motorcycle.”
“Forgot to say ‘please’.”

“Have you seen this boy?”
Creepy liquid metal dude
Got to melt him down.

Grab your minigun
Skynet watches over all
Hasta la vista.

(Terminator 2: Judgment Day)

You’re up.

Haiku Tuesday 18 – POTUS

Yep, it’s back! In honor of President’s Day, this week’s topic is the President of the United States, aka POTUS. Feel free to be political, funny, random, or whatever. It’s YOUR haiku. Remember the form: 5 syllables – 7 syllables – 5 syllables.

Number Forty-Four
A good man, but can he fix
This gigantic mess?

Leading the free world
Pressure, critics ’round the clock
I don’t want that job.

Your turn.

Haiku Tuesday 17 – Christmas

This will be the final Haiku Tuesday for a while, so let’s go out with a bang. This week’s topic is Christmas.

God born in a barn
Mystery of mysteries
Happy birthday, Lord

Joy to all the world
He has come to save us all
This is just the start.

Your turn!

Haiku Tuesday 16 – Your Choice

Power to the people! Write about whatever inspires you. Here’s mine:

Ginger ale and toast
Bananas and new Saltines
Heading back to bed

Yes, I’m a bit under the weather, but it’s more annoying than anything. Your turn!

Haiku Tuesday 14 – Hockey

We have tickets to the Stars game tonight, so today’s haiku theme is HOCKEY. This will be our first Stars game since 2008 and our first since we lost Turco and Modano, two of our favorites. But the Stars still have plenty of talent, and I can still yell myself hoarse just like in the old days.

Trivia item: I am now older than every player on the roster except for Robidas and Skrastins. One forward was born in 1989. Hmm.

Enough rambling – on with the haiku!

Blood and sweat on ice
Waiting for the red light’s glow
Go nuts at the horn

Your turn.
