New Haiku!

"Grieving on Facebook
my loss of haiku prowess,
friends came through--haiku!"

Tracinator (2010--- original)

The first is a haiku about writing haiku. Perhaps metahaiku? Does such a thing exist?

"To write a haiku
about a rat, you must be
inspired by a rat."

Kenneth Grahame-Crackers (2010--- original)

Mr. Grahame-Crackers, I should add, started a nice little limerick also. I hope he will be inspired and finish it off. Swearing and sexual references are absolutely allowed on this blog, so have away!

The next haiku, I found to be haunting. And this from a rat-hater who had to be pulled into the rat poetry thing by sheer emotional exertion on my part. In other words, I was a pain in the ass until I prevailed.

"The winter moon smiles;
nibble nibble little rat--
The cheese stands alone."

Dr. Elvis (2010--- original).

Thanks for the contributions!
