Here is a great one I found:

Hockey Haiku

Gracefully slither
He sneaks to the net untouched
With one swing he scores.

Slash, push, crush, swipe, skate
Big time effort for four hours
Game ends tied, zero-zero

Up on the tundra
You have one of two choices
Hockey or ...ummm...uhhh.....
-Mike A. Crookston, MN (the tundra)

Autumn leaf windfall
The drifting gift of dryads
Calls to child within

Haiku can be fun

Especially when you drive

A hard bargain plug.

Another one came here

When no other would go near

Haiku, it's snowing

Yes really it's coming down

Flurries killing sun..

Trying to think now

Was it shining earlier

Today or Tuesday?

Haikus are actually 7-5-7 syllables.

Why dont we try this. Whoever writes a haiku posts a single word afterwords and it should be used for the topic of the next one to be written?

so if the previous post had "dandelions" I might do this:

I've seen a dandelion

it must be springtime

nine more months till snowfall

mountains

LO it is 5-7-5, not 7-5-7 for syllables.

Mountains are serene

Then move snow as winter melts

Serendipity.
