Platypus Rainbow


In honor of the fact that I will be undergoing some outpatient surgery today (no biggie - not to worry),I have decided to turn this over to you, gentle readers.

I know for a fact that many of you are quite creative. With this in mind, I am asking that you submit via the comments section your own haiku or haikus. Please keep in mind that I will be loopy on pain meds while reading these, so I'm sure they will all be wonderful.

I will begin with the haiku that inspired this post, courtesy of my friend Wendy from Weight What:

Haikus Are Easy
But Sometimes They Don't Make Sense
Refrigerator

which I emailed to my friends Jeff and Tamara, who responded in kind:

Haikus Are OK
If You Like That Sort Of Thing
The Giving Wombat

to which I responded:

Sometimes I wonder
What life is really about
Platypus Rainbow

So there you have it. Dazzle me. You'll be glad you did...

(Or not.)

May I start by submitting an old one I did on my blog when I was bragging that I knew so much about wrestling that I could write a haiku about a half nelson?

Hand under the arm
free arm under the other
lock together wrists

The supermarket
is the perfect place to dance
for those named Helen

This week is busy
Oh boy I am very tired
Please pass the Monster

Here's a haiku about my experience in the elementary school drop off line this morning...

Can't take turns in line.
Why be mean fourth grade parents?
God saw that, white jeep!

Kat, I've been praying for a smooth sailing procedure and a quick recovery.

Stephanie Wetzel said...

Oh Katdish wake up
Your audience awaits you.
Tweet some crazy sh*t

Stephanie Wetzel said...

I almost forgot
About the haiku challenge.
Thank you for the Tweet

Annie K said...

Steph said a bad word
But Katdish won't give a rip
She's looped on pain meds

Katdish is my twitter idol
Her tweets make everyone smile
Fried pie is amazing

I had an inspiration for another so here goes:

The twitter is lonely today
It just doesn't feel the same
That's what she said

David said...

My nose is dripping.
Katdish advice, Why'd I listen?
Silly Neti Pot.

Hope you feel better soon.

Once upon a time
Little fairies drove steamboats
Don't shake a baby

Email from Sherri
What kind of meat do you like?
Ha! TWSS.

Glynn said...

Katdish surgerized;
Asleep, cracking herself up.
Time for a rant soon.

Helen said...

Twitter ho's unite
to comfort our wounded friend
surround her with love

Beth said...

Dude! Jason, I'm not even on pain killers and that CRACKED ME UP. Why? I have no idea...


Strange sense of humor
I embrace you like the night
Lemming tortilla

Sarah Salter said...

I like to call this one "Frog":

It is still raining
I have mud between my toes
Oh no! A Truck! Splat.

Shark Bait said...

Once I had a life.
It was full and rewarding.
Now I have a blog.

Annie K said...

Oh our dear Katdish
We are having so much fun
At your expense. Dang.

Sarah Salter said...

And now, "Cricket":

Shiny black cricket
A tasty treat for the cat
Chirp! Crunch. Then, silence.

(I think Haiku brings out my dark side...)

Must obey Father
Despite your persecution
Here, still not a Twit

What is a haiku
a poem of some kind
or Chuck Norris
