Oh Dog! It’s here! It’s HERE! It’s time for the HAIKU CHALLENGE! I hope you’ve been working on a haiku to post here and share with the world!
As you know, haiku typically reference nature, and boy have we had a run-in with Mother Nature this week!
We’d just come in from a perimeter check when we heard a loud “whoosh!” We looked out the back door and saw THIS!
That tree was OUTSIDE my fence, but when it fell it blocked exit from our deck. DeDe and I were NOT happy because we couldn’t go into our back yard!
The next day some people came and started removing it. This is what we saw that afternoon when we went outside.
My fence is broken!
And the tree is still there! Go away tree! Go far, far away!
So here is my contribution to the challenge:
.
After standing tall
She curtseys the wind and rain
Then cannot get up.
.
Remember, this is JUST FOR FUN, so don’t worry that you didn’t get it “right.” This exercise is to get your creative juices flowing.
In my case, I’ve never claimed to write good haiku, but I’ve certainly written my fair share- and it’s great fun.
Alrighty then! Let’s see what you’ve got for us!!!! Who’ll be next?
Dogpaddling Through Life 
Here you are! This is mine!
Looking up at the sky
Gazing at one fluffy white cloud
Thinking of you, kitties
Oh Dog! I might be kicked away from Doggie World!!! Woo woo!
don’t worry Kevin- I won’t tell anyone!
Come and blow my tree
And crash down like a big log
And land on FAT DOG
MIOL MOL MOL MOL
*sigh* Good haiku, not so good subject.
Bumblebees buzzing
Eyes closed in the sun
Nap
Oh Dog! You’ve done this before haven’t you?
My first time ever Rumpy … but I do have lots of experience in napping MOL !
The strong wind did blow
And Rumpy’s tree went Ker-rash!!
Glad you OK Rumps.
*blush* Thanks Gordon!!! I like that one a little better.
Never done a Haiku, so here is my very first attempt
Here I lie and sleep
Hammock swaying in Spring breeze
Sunpuddles galore
Pawsome! Thanks for rising to the challenge!
OK…this is a suck-up one. More later…
Rumpy, you are smart.
You’re kind and sweet and furry.
Love from RainbowCats!
awwww…. and I love you guys too! Thanks for taking the challenge!
How about this one?
Walking with my mom
Autumn air is telling us
Changing our clothes
🙂
Oh Di! You are GOOD!
Okay, here goes:
Leaves tinged with crimson
Shorter days and longer nights
Fall sneaks through the door.
I wonder what Loup will come up with.
Yay!!!I like it!!!
Well, can’t let Cathy have all the fun. Here’s mine, Rumpy.
I’m the greatest dog
Was there ever any doubt?
Loup A. Graham rocks!
Truer words were never written.
CatHaiku by Mars & Echelon : we had no home/cats protection found us one/our mum is crazy/we love her anyway 🙂
Are you sure you didn’t write that about MY human? *giggles* Thanks for taking the challenge!
Are you sure you didn’t write that about MY human? *giggles* Thanks!
I didn’t know Haiku was supposed to be nature inspired, I may try again later, for now here’s mine…
We dog sit sometimes
Our four cats hate when we do
It sucks to be them
Nope, no rules here… this is for FUN!
And it was much fun! Thanks for the inspiration…
Here’s another…
Wind on my muzzle
I lift up my nose and breathe
And then sneeze on you
Morning dew on the grass
Wet belly fur
Hunting
Sitting, wondering
What on earth you’re hunting for.
Hoping it’s cookies.
A blur of blue feathers
Piercing cry from the sky
Blue jay
Whoa! I like that!
Superb ! Well done my Canadian friend !
I’ve been waiting all week for this ’cause I wrote on one of my favorite subjects.
Frisbee flying high
I jump, I catch, and I land
Throw it up again
Bongo
YAY!!!! Throw it up for me too!
outside my window
squirrels taunt me endlessly
soon i will catch them
I’m with ya on that one….. I got a street gang of squirrels living in my yard!
This is my very first haiku! Posted it on twitter already!
Lying on my back
Waiting for a belly rub
Was ignored instead
I like your haiku, but I am sad you got ignored. Should we do something about that?
Yeah well…. human… gotta teach her a lesson someday! I got another by the way! Here it is!
With his tail wagging
Rumpy chased his yellow ball
But DeDe took it
Sorry Rumps! She caught you by surprise… 😉
Oh Dog! DeDe! Gimme my ball!
Hmmm this aint so easy…!
The storm is over
Now they sleep on the soft bed
Kitten storm of play
(Blimey – did it!)
Yay!!!!!
Yay !
I’m a cat, a friend of Chab!
And you are one cool kitty!!!
He is an amazing kitty … and his humans are very generous with stray cats. 🙂
I’m getting the hang of this haiku thing. I had to write another one.
Meaty bones piled up
waiting for me to chew them
this is my true dream
Bongo
*drools* mine too!
uh oh we kind of messed up and did all of ours on twitter 😦
You did NOT mess up! There are no rules, this was for FUN! woo woo woo!
Tigs & Holly!! If you had 2 more syllables, your comment here would be a haiku, too. We love the Tweetie ones!
Okay…I will has a go.
Climbing branches so strong and high.
Birdies a plenty for me chase.
This is all mine :))
Oh Dog! That was Pawsome Spot!!!
Yay ! Good stuff my friend ! *droolong*
