    Default Fun with haiku

    An old favorite
    topic on another board
    was a haiku thread.

    Haikus can be fun,
    serious, or humorous.
    Let's get creative.

    Respond back in five-
    seven-five. Find your haiku
    muse and start writing.

    I am terrible
    at coming up with haiku,
    but for you, I'll try.

    Haiku is not hard.
    Don't be shy. Pull out a pen
    and give it a try!

    Here's an example
    of a silly haiku (a
    lighthearted attempt):

    Moonlight flirting with
    tree tops. The sound of rustling.
    Zombies in the woods.

    Nonetheless it is,
    or is it not? Be that as
    it may, it may not.

    Two pens! They are here,
    but the better is the worse
    (as well, the reverse).

    I have to wonder.
    If a zombie had a pen
    Would it write with it?

    it is not the real writing
