The examples shown
Are pretty lame. You wonder
What was this guy paid?

An article in Denver
Whose subject is NYC
Takes turn at Albuquerque.

Stupid signs go up
People don't understand them
People get run down

Struck in the crosswalk?
That is less than optimal
Look both ways, dumbass

Amber turns to red
Like falling leaves in autumn
So slow down, asshole

The School Crossing Guard
Has a STOP sign in her hand
For a good reason

Blind corner ahead
Be careful when you pull out
Like your dad wasn't

Texting and driving
Is an easy way to die
SRS BZNS

Stop signs mean STOP
Not: "Brake until rolling slowly,
Then peel out real fast"

I am red, and black,
An upside-down triangle
YOU WILL YIELD TO ME

School Crossing Ahead
Try not to kill any kids
You lead-footed douche

Deaf Child Area
Oh, wait...I'm sorry, I meant:
DEAF CHILD AREA

Restrain the body?

Thread over.

/that'd be much better than the silly "forget you" that plays on the radio.

Slow children playing.
Oh the humiliation!
Do not call them slow.

Slippery when wet.
A warning used when it rains,
or a porn movie?

Deer crossing ahead.
Collision could be fatal.
Challenge accepted!

On the contrary,
All it takes is a thought, then...
half-assed editing

BEAUTY
Naked in repose
Silvery silhouette girls
Adorn my mudflaps

REMORSE
A painful sadness
Cain't fit big screen TV through
Double-wide's front door

MOTHER AND CHILD
Crusted in boogers
Stained with Kool-Aid, baby has face
Only Mama loves

IMPOUNDED
Sixty-five dollars
And cyclone fence keeps me from
My El Camino

OPTIONS Unemployment's out.
Hey, maybe I can
git on Disability

OFFERINGS Tonight we hunger
Grandma sent grocery money
To Robert Tilton

DEPRIVED
In WalMart toy aisle
Wailing boy wants rasslin' doll
Mama whups his ass

Wind is in my hair
Cop hides behind a billboard
The breeze drops sharply

Motorcycle ride
Tear along the dotted line
Damn the helmet laws

Gas pedal goes down
Needle on dashboard climbs north
Cherries in rear view

No left turn sign says
You cannot get there from here
No choice, I go right

Fifty-five M.P.H.
Laughing, I accelerate
I'm Sammy Hagar

'Vette does one-forty
Squad Car only does ninety
Guess that means I win

It might sound like fun
But don't open the rag-top
When you're in fifth gear

Just bought a Beemer
I've been waiting for this day
Now you're all peons

Sorry, Officer
I honestly didn't see
Those pedestrians

I'm not going far
No need to wear the seatbelt
Whoops, guess I should have

I mixed up the gas
And the brake pedals again
Car, meet living room

Ran out of fuel
The guy who stops to help me?
Serial killer

Riding with my mom
She has to stop suddenly
Her arm, a meatbelt

I need to change lanes
Signal, look over shoulder,
Rear-end a semi

Do not try to cry
To get out of a ticket
If you are a dude

Know why I stopped you?
I was the only one you
Could catch, I'm guessing

Teens revving engines
At stop lights, Both are driving
Mom's station wagon

Weaving, driving slow
Turn signal stuck on all day
Old, a drunk, or both?

Walk a straight line, sir
Alphabet in reverse, now
Breathalyzer test

Can I search your car?
I don't think so, Officer
There's pot in the trunk

Do you know how fast
You were going just now, sir?
Here's a hint: TOO fast

Railroad crossing sign
Flashing, dinging, gates are down
I'll just drive right through

Plates are expired,
License suspended, and no
Insurance...I'll drive

The tyre becomes flat
Inner tube is deflated
Very long walk home

Mercutio74: I have a question:
Why do some think the first line
is four syllables?


Although the word "on" is often translated as "syllable", in fact one on is counted for a short syllable, an additional one for an elongated vowel, diphthong, or doubled consonant, and one more for an "n" at the end of a syllable. Thus, the word "haibun", though counted as two syllables in English, is counted as four on in Japanese (ha-i-bu-n); and the word "on" itself, which English-speakers would view as a single syllable, comprises two on: the short vowel o and the moraic nasal n. This is illustrated by the Issa haiku below, which contains 17 on but only 15 syllables. In addition, some sounds, such as "kyo" (きょ) can be perceived as two syllables in English but is a single on in Japanese.

Hooray! Haiku thread!
Sadly, my haiku do not
Mention subby's link.

I have found a proof
Of Fermat's Conjecture, but
Haiku is too short.

Haiku's inventor
Must have had seven fingers
On his middle hand.

Haiku can be both,
just one or perhaps many,
Pluralization

/word games are good for the mind, it keeps away Alzheimer's.
