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?

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.

Pass the BEER, willya?
Kewl haiku or fun pun?
It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI started drinking again. This time with FEELING.

He counts bike word syllables
We all want to scream
My favorite's the one on a T-shirt:

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.
ReplyDeleteHowever, 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.

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.
