And now for something completely different (another haiku game)

[Dini]

(my first stab at this!)

raindrops in the sun
glistening prisms reflect
wondrous day ahead

Thank God it's Friday
slam the door of the office
.....

high heels hurt my feet
.......
.....

[Robbie]

Thank God it's Friday
slam the door of the office
pour a glass of wine

high heels hurt my feet
arches contort and toes pinch
.....

chimes sound as they sway
.......
.....

[Robbie]

high heels hurt my feet
arches contort and toes pinch
the price of fashion

chimes sound as they sway
harmonies and soothing breeze
.....

Sand like baking flour
.......
.....

[Meghan]

chimes sound as they sway
harmonies and soothing breeze
lazy hammock days

Sand like baking flour
A recipe for summer
.....

I hate allergies
.....
.....

[Novin]

Sand like baking flour
A recipe for summer
Grandma's cake !

I hate allergies
sneezing all over spring
.....

water lily petals
.....
.....

[Robbie]

I hate allergies
sneezing all over spring
then again in fall

water lily petals
dressed in pink, they float with grace
.....

warm but cloudy days
.......
.....

[Novin]

water lily petals
dressed in pink, they float with grace
another evening carnival!

warm but cloudy days
waiting for a drop of rain
.....

Half moon shining
......
.....

[Novin]

warm but cloudy days
waiting for a drop of rain
thirty trees

Half moon shining
deep black sky
........

dancing with wind
.......
.......

[Robbie]

Novin, did you know?
Five syllables, then seven
Then five for Haiku

No need to re-write
we'll work with what you've written
Glad to have you here!

[Robbie]

Half moon shining
deep black sky looms all around
stars twinkle and wink


dancing with warm wind
blowing through my golden hair
.....

reading in the sun
.......
.....

[Rachel]

dancing with warm wind
blowing through my golden hair
strands lifted, caressed

reading in the sun
a lazy stroll through the park
.....

silly spry monkey
.......
.....

[Novin]

reading in the sun
a lazy stroll through the park
that's what good day means!

silly spry monkey
looking for a coconut
......

summer afternoon
.....

[Robbie]

silly spry monkey
looking for a coconut
konks one with his head

summer afternoon
butterflies warm in the sun
.....

white-water river
.......
.....

[Dini]

summer afternoon
butterflies warm in the sun
flying around me

white-water river
glimmering sun reflected
.....

lie on my hammock
.......
.....

[Robbie]

white-water river
glimmering sun reflected
off rare, smooth water

lie on my hammock
with lemonade and a book
.....

orange ozone day
.......
.....

[Meghan]

lie on my hammock
with lemonade and a book
the perfect summer

orange ozone day
fushia afternoons go by
.....

tired to my bones
.......
.....

[Rachel]

orange ozone day
fuschia afternoons go by
hazy summer hues

tired to my bones
footsore, exhausted, worn out
.....

party planning time

[Robbie]

tired to my bones
footsore, exhausted, worn out
We need more Calgon!

party planning time
food, decorations, invites
.....

three glasses of wine
.......
.....

[Novin]

party planning time
food, decorations, invites
what a charming night!

three glasses of wine
what a lovely sound they make
.....

moon in the river
.......
.....

[Robbie]

three glasses of wine
what a lovely sound they make
"cheers!" to the New Year

moon in the river
ripples of silver and white
.....

waves on the Great Lake
.......
.....

[Dini]

moon in the river
ripples of silver and white
dancing on water

waves on the Great Lake
slowly dipping my toes in
.....

waking up at dusk
.......
.....

[Erin]

waves on the Great Lake
slowly dipping my toes in
waiting: will fish bite?

waking up at dusk
did I really sleep all day?
.....

a nail in the tire
.....
.....

opps, edited to add the first line of a new haiku

[Robbie]

waking up at dusk
did I really sleep all day?
or was it a dream?

a nail in the tire
do I hear a hissing sound?
.....

Twelve days of Christmas
.......
.....

[Dini]

a nail in the tire
do I hear a hissing sound?
pulling over now

Twelve days of Christmas
it's all over, all over
.....

walking around town
.......
.....

[Robbie]

Twelve days of Christmas
it's all over, all over
now we can relax

walking around town
sparkly snowflakes floating down
.....

skis, poles, and goggles
.......
.....

[Robbie]

walking around town
sparkly snowflakes floating down
landing on my tongue

skis, poles, and goggles
a hard helmet for my head
.....

icing on the cake
.......
.....

[Dini]

skis, poles, and goggles
a hard helmet for my head
have a safe ski trip!

icing on the cake
chocolate, cheese and blueberry
.....

a day at the spa
.......
.....

[Meghan]

icing on the cake
chocolate, cheese and blueberry
I need some new pants

a day at the spa
pampered princesses relax
.....

my favorite bookstore
.......
.....

[Robbie]

jelly beans galore
the sound of autumn leaves
rustles through my heart

winter rain
snowflakes in early spring
.....

ragweed; watery eyes
.......
.....

[Gerda]

Plastic soccer moms
In jogging suits and lipstick
gossip in the 4WD

Jelly beans galore
all colours from the rainbow
.....

Eagle soaring high

[Robbie]

Jelly beans galore
all colours from the rainbow
even the black ones

Eagle soaring high
silhouette of black on blue
.....

Tiny spider-mites
.......
.....

[Gerda]

Eagle soaring high
silhouette of black on blue
diving suddenly

Tiny spider mites
running up the tree trunk

[Gerda]

Looking at the ripples
..............
.............

[Robbie]

Tiny spider mites
running up the tree trunk
time to prune again

Looking at the ripples
made by the flat skipping stone
.....

Counting calories
.......
.....

[Gerda]

Looking at the ripples
made by the flat skipping stone
before sinking gracefully

Counting calories
dipping a finger in the wineglass
......

The paintbrush hovers
................
..............

[Robbie]

Counting calories
dipping a finger in the wineglass
instead of the bread

The paintbrush hovers
pigment rains, splashes, and flows
.....

Donkeys kick and bray
.......
.....

[Karl]

raindrops in the sun
glistening prisms reflect
rainbows everywhere

Thank God it's Friday
Weekend of wild abandon
.....

Sun peeks through dark clouds
.....
.....

[Robbie]

Thank God it's Friday
Weekend of wild abandon
I'm too old for this

Sun peeks through dark clouds
rays penetrate the mist
.....

It's back-to-school time
.......
.....

[[deleted user]]

Sun peeks through dark clouds
rays penetrate the mist
the misty ghosts merge

It's back-to school time
Stabbings with compasses

Beyond the black stump

[[deleted user]]

It's back-to-school time
Stabbings with compasses
General vacancy

Beyond the black stump
at the outer limits

Equalisation -

[[deleted user]]

Beyond the black stump
At the outer limits
Beyond nothingness

Equalisation -
every man before the law

Bugger me stupid
