Happy Thursday haikuers!
Just in case you missed it, last Sunday, I was honored to host a high powered haiku-fest over at A Clown On Fire. Not my best work was produced that day, but there certainly was a lot of it. After writing a few to get Le Clown’s readers going, I answered all comments in haikus. I counted up the damage after it was all over, and I spit out 67~yes 67 verses of crappy haiku that day. Somebody call Guiness, because that must be some sort of record.
Wow! That’s impressive! She must be all haikued out! Maybe we’re off the hook today!
Oh, silly readers, you don’t get off so easy. All that did was grease the wheels. My haiku skills are all sharpened up and ready to go. Well, sorta. Today, maybe we should haiku about being thankful for stuff and junk. Since Thanksgiving is next Thursday. Thanksgiving is next thursday???~~~~Holy Crap! How did THAT happen? I’ll never be ready.
~~~~~~~~
I am so thankful
Thankful for my stuff and junk
Really? NEXT Thursday?
~~~~~~~~~
Oh! Glorious bird
Now trussed and stuffed and roasted
Not so cocky now!
~~~~~~~~~
Family gathered
To stuff their little faces
Then nap on my couch
~~~~~~~
Today we join hands
And give thanks for all we have
Here’s my Christmas list
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No Black Friday Fun
Knee deep in dirty dishes
Ain’t Thanksgiving grand?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Here’s the cranberries!
I worked hard to show my love
Opening that can.
Mmmmmmm! Nothing says ” I love you” like opening a can!

No love for Turkey
And not an American
But thanks for haiku.
Suddenly obsessed
With you 5-7-5ers
Can I join your gang?
absolutely! Thank you for wanting to be part of the club, and thanks for the haikus.
Where are you from?
NZ, but living in London – just wrote some haikus about it last night, inspired by your turn in fucking magical le clown land:

Awesome! I will be sure to read them! Again, so glad you’ver joined us.
I know this is going to sound silly but:
I now love making
cranberry sauce cause they pop
when you cook them up
Me too! I’d never use the canned stuff. Even though I don’t eat it, I always make the sauce. It’s fun and it looks so pretty.
this is a new thing for me–I have a friend who is teaching me how to cook and not just open cans–I like just opening cans, but the real thing with cranberry sauce is worth the little bit of trouble it takes–and really the popping of the cranberries keeps me entertained for the five minutes it takes to make it
I love my turkey
Brining is the way to go
But don’t stuff the butt
Thanks Carrie! I thought of another one too:
You’re such a fat lard
Can’t believe you ate all that!
Mirrors are a bitch!
Yes, that’s a very complimentary one.
No one loves me more
Than me, myself and I do
I am such a mess
Don’t get me wrong here
Thankful for my family
Rather be on beach
Hey nice to see you!
How was Hippie Nudist Camp?
Hard to come back home?
Had such a good time
Soaking with the dreadlock crowd
At least they were clean
No booze and no weed
no tasty meat for eating
dry vegan heaven?
Hidden beef jerky
Maybe a bottle as well
Did enhance the mood
Well aren’t YOU sneaky?
Bet the Mrs was tickled
Secret’s safe with me
gobble gobble up
stuffed turkey gravy yum
my gut overfloweth
giblets goblets oh
mouthfuls a plenty for me
family blessings
pass out on the couch
big stuffed grouchy grouchette
bursting bulbous gut
You know how to eat
a grand gourmand you must be
Sure hope you don’t puke
no puking ever
this day is my favorite
family love & food
That’s so very sweet
enjoy your festivities
just don’t overdo.
and you as well
Cheeky one
Oh I can’t anymore, years of Weight Watchers. I have to eat small meals, or Mr. Thecheekydiva has to stab me with a harpoon to let out all the excess gas and bile. Oh god, did I just say that? Sorry if I spoiled your holilday.
haaa haaa
I forgot to make
A haiku for this here day
This will have to do
Thanks dear Edward
This will do just fine.
I always appreciate it when you drop by to say hello.
Confession time now
My brain no think in Haiku
Is the last for you
No problemo friend
just stop by and read them please
inspiring, aren’t they?
Made me hungry for turkey.
Too late for haiku
Thursday came and went so fast
Sneaking in here now.
Turkey too dry sucks
Stuffing a chicken for Mom
Making corn shit, too
Thanks for dropping by
You NaNoWriMoGoddess
Corn shit sounds yummy!
