Here's what happened to me today in 3 haikus. Most common haiku is 3 short lines, 5 syllables the first line, 7 the second and 5 more syllables the last line.
Started discussions
Got too many responses
Fingers are hurting.

Washed dirty pink walls
Blue-taped door frames and baseboards
Painted for first time.

Worked for four long hours
Body tired, mind is drifting
Still I wrote haikus.

I love it, drannhh!!! You are missing one syllable on the second line but because it is SO good, I will let it slip. I can just imagine your day now. Thank you a lot!

I should have responded with a haiku too. Silly me.
Loved your day haiku
Read it aloud to Boyfriend
Hoped dinner was good.

I pronounced lovely with 3 syllables, that makes 7 in the line. Your copyright symbol is awesome! WTG:
Dinner was divine
Crispy oven roasted ribs
Pasta on the side!
Is it improper to have all three lines of a Haiku rhyme if they still have the right number of syllables?

I have always know about haikus but have to admit that this is ther first time I have ever really understood what formed the basis of one! I will have to give this some more thought and see if I can come up with one. Hopefully I can get my head around this and return!

Hahaha. Seems you were reading my mind perfectly SaintAnne! But did I get the concept of a haiku right in my example or not? I am not 100% sure about the word "early" as being one syllable but I think the rest is correct. The haiku you made for me is very apt and I think the only thing I would change is the final word.

I made one for you, James. I hope this does not influence your own haiku depending on who posts what first.
Fought for what is right
Defended partner's honor
Let the moron live.

With a sleepy hand
I picked up the telephone
and slayed a dragon

You've got it all wrong
This was no friendly dragon!
It was wicked mean!
Later in the day,
following that fiasco,
I took a ride to Franklin.
Which provided me
the best opportunity
to increase my fortitude.

Fortitude is good
to have in this world of ours
We give up so soon.

Long, long busy day
Too much work for not much pay
I require more sleep
I guess that isn't too bad for about 4:30 a.m. My one dog woke me up a while ago, and I haven't gotten back to sleep.

Good one, glords. You're not supposed to do repeats or something like that but in your case, with what you are going through with your son, I'm still going to give you an A+.

We all have routines
Wash, rinse, repeat and then some
