I like to call mine 'Haikish' so I can have all of the fun of writing them and none of the annoyance of debating the rules.
Leaping! Drooling! Dog!
mud prints all over the place
and yet we love you
The alternative version is:
leaping, drooling dog
mud prints all over the place
why are you so dumb
Take your pick.
I seem to remember Haiku having some qualities like a seasonal tie-in and an evanescent mood, so:
snow in the morning
the scent of hot coffee --
wake me up inside
Which, of course, makes me think of music
wicked thieves of song
old women and little girls
lawsuits in the fall
