Well, I saw a haiku contest, and I wanted to enter. It is as simple as that. I will post all five haikus here at once, and hopefully they will be rather good! I call this “Haikus on a rainy Monday.” I will post a link below for anyone else interested in the little game.
Here we go!
1. I wake up
I wake up sad; angry.
It is snowing out my window
And I still have class.
2. Time to get ready
I get out of bed
And throw some pants on, I’m rushed.
I don’t want to leave.
3. Class
British Lit, why not?
Sense and Sensibility
My mind; worn to mush.
4. Work
I sit at my desk
Pondering mysteries of
Blogging or sleeping.
5. Bed again
Sweet sleep, so far gone
Time to catch up with you now.
Close my eyes sweetly.
They may not be great, but it’s a start! Hopefully you will be able to get your creative juices flowing. Here’s a link! http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/11/25/challenge-haiku/

I like them, Just to let you know, haiku is usually three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the middle line, and five in the last line. Always 17 syllables.
Oh! Did I not format it correctly? I’ll take a look. Thanks for the feedback!:)
I think you used four lines?
Maybe I didn’t look at it right.
I reformatted a little bit, I bolded the titles of the haikus. Could that have been what tripped you up?
Oh yes, most likely! I’m glad that was all it was because they are good!
I will look at it, I can re-format if needed. Thanks for the good word!
Randee, thanks again!
