I love Pamie's "Haiku for the Over Eager." I'm starting to think in haiku, partly due to that and other web sites that use Haiku for effect. Do you haiKU?

I am a linguist. There are more prepositions than most people think.

(OK, I'm also a BIG geek!)

OK, that last answer, minus what's in parentheses, was intended to be a 3-line haiku. Why does this forum take out my carriage returns, and how do I prevent it?

Why do I sit here
reading squishy yet again
It is time for bed

Corn chips and salsa
Call to me from the kitchen
I will stay up now

Don't use fake address
It causes problems for all
What a lame haiku

Almost 9 PM
Time to turn on USA
MacGyver channel.

Many of you have probably seen these cat haikus. I think they're great. I wish I knew where they came from.

Hey Cheeba,

You cheated. "Britney" only has two syllables. I'm sorry I know that, but I know it, nonetheless.

Oh cool, it works well!
