Two Haiku--No Foolin'

Since April is National Poetry Month, I wrote two haiku about my experiences in San Francisco.

Haiku #1: Ambush
Ambushed on the street
by a man who shined my shoes
without being asked.

Haiku #2: Visitor
At lunch on the bay
we saw a large sea lion
swim lazily by.

Want to join the fun? Write a haiku and leave it as a comment! It's easy. A haiku has three lines. The first and the third line must have five syllables each. The second line must have seven syllables. Rhyming is totally NOT required in a haiku.

  2. What are you saying?
    Jennifer Ann Williamson
    About poetry?

    Do you really think
    Anyone can just sit down
    And be a poet?

  3. On this Good Friday,
    I hope you eat hot cross buns.
    It is tradition.

  4. Late, oh boy I'm late!
    Better get to work today.
    Messy dining room.

  5. Families expand,
    their hearts grow and overflow
    when a pet joins them.
