Haikus for your Humour or Horror!!!

Some haikus for you to enjoy... restored!!!

Haikus

1. A tin can rattles Strong wind blows it down the street Singing "I'm dancing!" 2. A drunk is shouting Swearing loud at everyone Prayers of thanks for booze. 3. Summer sun so hot This would make good holidays If we'd food to eat! 4. So much snow we see Depth of winter holds the earth So good for our skiing! 5. Dog is racing fast Barking at the spinning wheels Its all he can do. 6. The ball is bouncing With children playing joyfully Now none: broke window. 7. We love all mankind Except those we've reason To hate: they're bad! 8. There's no better love Than the faithful pet dog has For his bad owner 9. As we live our life Is how when death it comes We'll be judged as good. 10. Thunder inspires Fear in the fearful hearts and Awe in hearts of hope. 11. A Coward thrives On fear instilled on others: Call his bluff for proof. 12. God is a chess player Man is but a pawn of his Each holds but a square 13. Winter closes in Cold dark and long nights approach Good for needed rest 14. Long after I'm dead People will think and speak of me Like the cold winter 15. Hell is where lives The pious churchgoer who feared God Who hated his neighbour 16. If you love money And you desire much riches Your spirit is poor.

Reviews

Although I like all 5 of these haikus, I like the 5th one the best. The reason why the 5th haiku stood out to me because I think that there is a underlying message within that haiku. The others though, were quite silly, and funny, but all five were pretty well written overall.

Nice job. I really enjoyed these a lot.:)

[Michelle Jeanette]

All of them were great, but I think the first one is by far my favorite. Great job!

[Otto L.n. Pipgras]

it's a nice series of haiku/senryu which as a whole tells a much larger story, of destitution and poverty, homelessness and hopelessness...arranged quite well, though I was curious as to why you didn't include pictures for the last two....I think it would add to the presentation if you could find the "just right" pictures for them. thanks for sharing!

[TL Boehm]

I actually think the last one is my favorite for its subtle humor...you dont often get that kind of humor from the haiku. All are well written though.

i like them all, but the first was def. my favorite
i never thought of garbage breaking free and dancing
its a really cute picture
good job

[Janneke]

they are mostly senryus though
i liked the 1st en 2nd one best
it would be nicer if every haiku/senryu has a picture included though, just to enliven it a bit. [I'm not a big fan of haikus, see] Anyway, i belive that when writing a haiku you should bve careful with every syllable, and waste them as little as possible on words like a/the/as/so because there are only 17 of them, they're precious.
