Blues and Haikus (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Woo hoo!!! Here we are again to clog up the blogosphere with our zany, wacky and ill conceived haikus friends! Last week was a huge success and I thank everyone who participated. I know that some of you are knee deep in your NaNoWriMo word counts, but if you could spare a measly 17 syllables here today, it would be greatly appreciated.
Can’t think of any? Here’s a few to inspire you!
Write about a good relationship!
Your love is the wind
Swirling, messing up my hair
Stop it already!
Write about a bad relationship!
Love is blind and dumb
That’s why I didn’t notice
You were such a douche
Write about your parents!
So you broke your hip
shut up and watch your stories
no pudding for you!
Write about your kids!
You are such a puke!
Now go out and mow that lawn!
Mommy loves you! Smooch!
Write about your job!
Every day I slave
The salt mine is so salty
God, I need a drink
Write about the meaning of life!
What’s it all about?
Okay, so now I’m 50
Answers anyone?

Okay kids! You’re up, dazzle me!
I love these Haiku, so fun-filled. Thanks for the link.
Anytime! Care to jump start the game and be the first genius to bestow your poeticness on us? Hey look! A new word!
“Buy a house!” friends urge
“Build equity! You can’t lose!”
Such short memories
Nice~ Thank you! First one of the day!!! Let’s hope we have as many as last week or more.
This was inspired by a particularly odd IM last night where my friend was suggesting I buy property and rent it out. Um… I’m not even employed (and he lives with his parents!) What the heck!
I take it this friend is unfamiliar with the requirements of obtaining a piece of property.
Yes, he’s a fool. I probably get a dozen people a year urging me to buy property despite my having zero interest. Been there / done that!
I’m trying to move right now, out of a house I’ve owned for 20 years. People are telling me to just go ahead and buy another one before mine sells. Um yeah, you know how much I make. Like I can afford payments, taxes and insurance on 2 houses, when I can’t afford all that on one? Sum peeple r so stoopid
“Just rent it out!” – as if landlording can’t quickly turn into its own brand of hell. I love how so many people who’ve never owned a place are so quick to suggest it. SMH.
Oh yeah, I’ve heard that one too. A-I need the money to put down on another house, 2-I plan to move to a different city, and D-I have friends who are landlords and I don’t know how many people have totally trashed their properties over the years.
Being a landlord
That’s not a life I would choose
Live in what I own
Look at that! You squeezed another haiku out of me!
It’s a little slow at work here today. It inspired me to submit a little something:
I sit at my desk
Prop my head to stay awake
Coffee, do your stuff
Ha! Great. I was just thinking of one regarding coffee too:
Coffee can give life
People who don’t drink coffee
Weirdos in my book
Yet another . .
Post Halloween blues
Eating leftover candy
Why don’t my pants fit?
Love it! First belly laugh of the day goes to you!
And that makes my day!
It occurs to me that certain words have different amounts of syllables depending on how you say them. So I am avoiding using them.
How do we rule words like
Caramel? 2 or 3?
Chocolate? 2 or 3?
There was another one, but it doesn’t have to do with sugar, so I can’t remember it . . .
I wasn’t planning on writing another haiku, but dang if I keep trying to put all my thoughts to haiku now. Make it stop!
Last Thursday, my brain talked in haikus all day. Today, I’m just going to let it happen.
Wait . . . that makes me think of something . . . got it:
Haikus in my head
Syllables revealing thought
Just let it happen
Nice one! It’s been a busy day here already. How much fun is this?
Haikus clog my brain
Make it hard to do my job
Maybe I’ll get fired!
I can only hope
This place is gonna kill me
Now where’s that Calgon?
Oh, I love that first one. Damn. Wish I had come up with it. It is way too much fun! More fun than I’m getting paid to have, that’s for sure . . .
I guess I didn’t know work could involve fun. Some people are just lucky I guess. I had a boss actually tell me once, “If you were supposed to have fun here, you’d have to pay me.” One reason I don’t work for that guy anymore.
Feet heavy, dragging
NaNoWriMo far from mind
Thursday haiku rocks
Get your ass in gear
1600 words to go
eat some M&M’s
So glad you dropped by! Happy NaNoWriMo. Been thinking about you this morning. Thought you’d be up to a gazillion words by now, slacker!
“No pudding for you!” hahaha … too funny!
I couldn’t make “glue factory” fit how I wanted it to. But, eh, I got all day, right?
If I already
Knew the meaning of life I’d
Be a rich woman
And if my WiFi
Were working I’d have posted
My “art” on my blog
Instead I rely on my
Smart phone which I used to hate
Turns out it is great
Awesome! Nice work! Busy morning already in the diva’s haiku corner. Did I just refer to myself in the third person again? Just wait until I start calling myself “moi”, then you guys have my permission to bash my face in with a brick or something.
My first attempt at a Haiku. Nothing will beat yours about a bad relationship. You are truly brilliant! Okay, here it is:
Watching the dog sleep
Snoring, peaceful, on her bed
Good day for a nap
Oh yeah! Thanks! Here’s one about my dog:
That’s my slipper, you!
And it’s on my foot right now!
Please remove your teeth!
Thanks so much for the link
I enjoyed all your haiku 
I invite you to join our haiku fun here: http://allaboutlemon.com/for-the-love-of-haiku/
Have a great day!
Will do! So sorry this ended up in my spam folder. Grrrr!
Thanks Julie for saving me from your spam folder
hahaha
And I cannot wait to read your five words too… welcome to our fun here check it out! http://allaboutlemon.com/toothsome-story-game/ Talk to you soon dear and have a great weekend! xoxo
Thank you! Ditto. Can’t wait to jump in.
Dolly, I sent an email to you with my contribution for the Toothsome Story Game Two, but I forgot to tag someone. I tag Julie! The Cheeky Diva herself! The Thursday Haiku Goddess! She will be next after you post my contribution.
What? What did you tag me for? Once again I find myself out of the loop. Please enlighten me. Or will I find out if I go to Dolly’s page? She left me a comment, and it ended up in spam. I rescued it, but somehow it got lost somewhere.
There is tons of fun at Dolly’s place. Here is the game: http://allaboutlemon.com/toothsome-story-game/toothsome-story-game-2/ You won’t have to do anything until she puts up my five words.
Okay, thanks. All I have to do is add 5 words? I could totally do that. Its not like 1600 or anything.
Thanks so much Maddie, but I am having a problem I cannot open the link you sent me and I didn’t get the e-mail either… H-e-l-p! hehehe, send me again or it’s easier if you would post it on your blog… just like the others did here: http://talktodiana.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/toothsome-story-game/ so that I could easily re-blog it too
xoxo
I will keep trying to open the link though
Hello guys
I did it… check it out here: http://allaboutlemon.com/2012/11/02/toothsome-story-game-2-hiding-in-the-closet-with-2/
hehehe We need your five words and then tag one of your blogger friends to contribute their 5 words and then he or she will tag one of her followers too and so on and on and we’ll see where our toothsome story game 2 goes 
Have fun!
it’s your turn Julie
Thanks Julie and I am so happy to have met you here via Word Press by Maddie
Dolly xoxo
Awesome haikus from the awesome Edward Hotspur, left on yesterday’s post, and rescued from my spam folder. Thank you Edward! Hope your day gets better!
Car why you no start
Why why why why why why why
Tow take 3 hour
Is that him right there?
Man I really have to pee
Hope I don’t miss him
There is someone now
Why’s he driving right on past?
Directions, fucktard!
Oh, my frozen toes
Soon you will be warm again
I’m talking to toes?
I was quite surprised
At how freezing off your ass
Makes you so tired
A dirty one:
Your hands on my thigh
Reaching toward my hidden bud
Touch my melting heat
Grrrrr! I was hoping you’d drop by to add some steaminess to this silly stuff. Thank you!
You’re welcome. It seems everyone wants a little steam these days. I’ve been asked to join Romantic Mondays as well!
You definitely need to start posting on Romantic Mondays. It’s a great bunch of folks, all different takes on romance. So glad I’m a part of it. Would love to see you there.

And I’ll just stick the other ones I did last night right here…
Car why you no start

Hope I don’t miss him

Thanks! You’re the man. Frozen toes and all. Dipping them in awesome sauce will heal them instantly.
Here are a few tweeted to me by my pal Ginger Snaap from http://ohmygawdjustdowhatisay.wordpress.com/
Dinner time madness
When we all keep talking at once
Ambiance is killed
ADHD boy
Charged up like a coke addict
Making me dizzy.
He won’t eat meatless
Bacon Bits count as meat, right?
He doesn’t agree
Thank you so much Ginger Snaap! -here’s one for you!:
Being a mom sucks
Some days its hardly worth it
Keep on truckin moms!
And another one from Ginger Snaap that I missed:
A grand pouty face
Gaining her no attention
From fed up mama!
Thank you!
No, thank you!
my husband is hot
tall mighty loving and true
twenty years solid
lucky woman you
My husband is also tall
Yay for big tall men!
Coming home from work
too tired to realize
I misspelled “Cheeky”
Looks okay to me! Thanks!
Go look at yesterday’s thread on the blogger idol post…you’ll get it
I went through a ton of emails when I got home and was exhausted. I need to proofread better from now on. Btw, I’m new to this — do I pass the award on? Do I take the “Blogger Idol” award? I feel like such a douche asking all of this…
Hey Adam! This isn’t like the other awards that we give each other, like One Lovely Blog for example. This is merely a way to give a shout to those I love to read. If you want to pass it along, please do by all means, but not necessary. I will read later when I have my glasses on. I noticed a few misspellings of my own yesterday. Ha Ha! Just keep writing. Love your work.
Got it — thanks and thanks!
Good, you’re welcome and you’re welcome.
On November 10
You could host Haikus Sunday
Diva on Fire?
I would be honored
To host haiku’s for LeClown
Too old to say “SQEE!”?
Haikus are so cool
I never knew you did this
Diva, you’re awesome.
Aren’t YOU a sweetie
Just started this last Thursday
Been a huge success!
Great, now i can’t stop.
My kids think I’m nuts counting
Words on my fingers
But these are Haikus
I tell them, and they are fun
Good test for the mind
They still think I’m strange
But that’s nothing new really
They are teenagers
Oops, just hurt my hand
trying to count one more verse
Hand now has a limp
Great.
That’s too funny! I do that all day long myself! Thanks for playing! Can’t wait for another embarrassing story from you today. Mine is a good one. Nothing like having your “Oh Crap!” moment in front of a bunch of grade school kids.

I’m not sure exactly why but this blog is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Anyone who wears tall paisley Uggs has issues all over their end. It’s not me pal.
