Is the sum of three
plus three plus three equal
to nine? Uhmm, yes, nine.

To fully appreciate this Haiku, please translate the last two syllables into Japanese.

pirates have one eye
black patch covering the wound
ninjas are better

That’s not a haiku.
compliment her with rhythm
but I agree too.[/quote]

What? Me a writer?
That is quite absurd because
You see, I can’t write.

Amber liquid dry
Bitter grassy grapefruit high
Fill my glass again

Yes = Hai

Its true, smell the glove

Hoppy perfection

OKay, sorta a boring class, so:

Let’s just suppose a
Member of Forumosa
made a samosa

A pill, our TomHill

Than a Xiao Jie on a scooter
Weaving in and out

Well at least one guy
Translated haiku with rhyme
Harold Henderson

Couplets or sonnets
May be a better choice, though
If you want to rhyme

Or there is always
