Bicycle haiku...
Fritz on Cycle-licious suggested some shameless link-baiting by using bicycle related haiku. He's more of a student of the art form than I, but here's my offering anyway:
Wheels spin happily
Sudden hiss of punctured tube
The long walk homeward
Doesn't it make you wanna scream?
(Monday afternoon)
I decided to tinker with that haiku today.
Wheels spin happily
Sudden hiss of punctured tube
Starts the long walk home
It's fun playing with words. I think the second version is gooder.

Yeah, right.
Whatever.
Pass the BEER, willya?
Kewl haiku or fun pun?
It's beautiful.
I started drinking again. This time with FEELING.
I agree with Fritz, those are beautiful. I am less of a student of the haiku than both of you, but here is my first attempt:
Ed has some free time
He counts bike word syllables
We all want to scream
My favorite's the one on a T-shirt:
Haiku is easy.
sometimes it doesn't make sense.

today's from me:
strong smooth pedal strokes
calorie burning furnace
pump the chill away
I wrote to Fritz on Cycle-licious that I could start each post with a haiku, but that would probably be wrong. Probably. At least I think it would be wrong, but it's very, very tempting.
However, I may start using haiku as introductions for the column I write for the Red Dirt Pedalers over in Stillwater. That is, if Susan agrees. She's the editor and she's a real sweetheart. I enjoy writing for her.

With your cadenced fingertips
Spin us a new post
Hee, hee.
Fixed gears and loose pants
Disaster in the making
Ride swift naked one
Really, I could do this all day instead of working.
