Haiku Challenge IV

Hey, we haven't done this in a while (here are rounds I, II, & III)! The rules are simple - a haiku is composed with three lines, of syllable-lengths 5-7-5. Add yours in the comments, below. Your haiku must begin with the last word of the one just before yours. You may play more than once, but not twice-in-a-row. Here's one to get us going.

Orin feels lazy.
No motivation, rather:
Procrastination.

  1. Procrastination,
    What a big word to type in.
    Not fun to start with.

  2. With a grain of salt
    I cannot season my food
    When is it lunchtime?

    ReplyDelete
  3. Lunchtime doubly so.
    Wait! "Time is an illusion."
    I left that part out?

    ReplyDelete
  4. out where the ball fell
    the reciever could not reach
    pass was incomplete

    ReplyDelete
  5. Incomplete midterms
    Can't change the fact that I will
    See my puppy soon!

    ReplyDelete
  6. "Soon And Very Soon"
    That's a song used in Advent.
    I am a huge geek.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Geek, I am one too,
    At least li-tur-gi-cal-ly.
    And beyond, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Guess your weight, I will!
    If I'm wrong, you get a prize!
    (What a useless "skill.")

    ReplyDelete
  9. Skill of a bo staff
    Can not compete with numchucks
    I get all the chicks

    women, girls and dolls are not
    all in good fun, Phil

    ReplyDelete
  11. Phil had a baby
    saw the birth and everything
    turns out its not his

    ReplyDelete
  12. His career path: spy.
    His martini: dry, shaken.
    His name: Bond. James Bond.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Bond me to my chair,
    I used the dictionary
    Difficult that was.

    (ps I hate Orin for that one!)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Was it the subject?
    Perhaps the punctuation?
    Why do you hate me?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Me, myself and I
    cannot start Haiku with Bond,
    So undignified.

    ReplyDelete
  16. undignified? like,
    crazy, spastic randomness?!
    sounds so familiar!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Familiar Faces.
    see them all the time, I do.
    That sounds like Yoda.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yoda? Yoda! Why?
    That word is harder than Bond.
    We need a wordsmith.

    ReplyDelete
  19. (you asked for this one shannon)

    Wordsmiths are nice but,
    Earlier I did one-up:
    I dropped a poopsmith

    ReplyDelete
  20. Poopsmith shovels crap
    That job stinks. I would be wiped.
    Would sleep like a log.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Log, is that a pun?
    For you had just mentioned poop.
    Where is this heading?

    ReplyDelete
  22. heading down the drain,
    swirling bowl of terror, the
    porcelain express

    ReplyDelete
  23. Express your feelings:
    When you say (fill in the blank),
    I feel (this one too).

    ReplyDelete
  24. Too was I thrilled 'bout
    This haiku challenge but here
    Oddblog would not work

    ReplyDelete
  25. work, plunger you must
    cant see toilet for the "logs"
    Just "overflowing" with hope

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hope it's not the end!
    This is so much fun again -
    Please, more haikus! Please?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Please, Mr. Postman.
    That's a song from the Sixties.
    by The Marvelettes

    ReplyDelete
  28. Marvelettes? Humbug.
    Bah. Shannon must hate us all.
    A silly last word.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Word Up! was a hit
    done at first by Cameo;
    then Melanie B

    ReplyDelete

    Will lift you on Eagle's wings.
    Lift his name on high.

    Clouds float by, gently, softly.

    I so hate to barf.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Barf-olomew said,
    "I'm a mog: half man, half dog.
    I'm my own best friend!"
