Do you ever write Haikus? Or other poetry?

I am bored with my...
Drat! Foiled yet again by fate
The world is so mean
Kitty guards my feet
She wants me to play guitar
I will oblige her
Wood chippers shudder
Just a mild inconvenience
The Queen does not mind
I boil some fresh corn
And then undo my latches
My rent has been paid

I wrote haiku before, but it was for a poetry class. I don’t really write haiku or senryu. I prefer free verse to format poetry.

@TheHorse I agree that writing poetry can be therapeutic for sure.

I wrote poetry in high school. All the other times (since junior high) I've written articles, stories, a children's book, etc.

No. The only time I remember writing a haiku or a poem was when I was still in school, and that was only because our teacher required it.

I digest my steak
Soon I will pick up psych meds
No, not a danger

@TheHorse Haha nice one! I guess I do have fingers too, maybe I should give it another try.

We are entering into a poetry unit in fourth grade and we will be studying and writing various poems including haiku and maybe some limericks.

I have in the past
But the past is not recent
So I will say no.

No, I never did, I enjoyed writing simple rhymes in Italian. And I enjoyed English limericks, like this silly one:
There once was a holiday bright,
In a place with warm sunshine so light,
I traveled with zest,
To a beach where I rest,
And my vacation was pure delight.re.

I like these; I have written some but I prefer free verse—it's much easier to express myself.

I must admit that I have written a few poems in my time
The odd Haiku
Not sure if any were any good or not though
I like the kitty one.
