Haiku
A month or so ago, on a forum that I am on, a haiku game was played were subjects were given and all who wanted to could write haiku on them. There were no judges or prizes, just the fun of writing. I can't and won't say that my poems are any good, but I had fun. So I am posting them here for you who wish to read them. Thanks.
Bananas
Bananas turn black
Very rapidly it seems
Make banana bread

Boys
There is no reason
For boys to be annoying
And still lovable
**************
Daisies
There is Daisy Mae
And beautiful Daisy Duke
Why can't I be one?
*******************
Dust bunnies
I am not a maid
I do not clean under beds
I have dust bunnies.
****************
Fog
Nebulous vapor
Rolls in and changes my world
Trees become giants
****************
Forest fires
Clouds of smoke rising
Over the forest of trees
The whole world's aflame
*******************
Friendship
Where would we all be
Without the bonds of friendship?
We would be so sad.
******************
Petals
The cut rose withers
Lost petals drop to the floor
They shrivel and die
********************
Pirates
Dread Pirate Robert's
Ship looms on the horizon
I quake in my boots
********************
Purring cats
Purring happy cat
Your vocalization is
So soothing to me
*******************
Scrambled eggs
Chicken eggs beaten up
Into an amorphous goo
Taste good when heated
******************
Space ships.
At first they go up
Then they come down very fast
Hope they do not crash
********************
Spiders
Creapy eight-legg'd beasts
Make me run away and cry
I am so afraid
********************
Strawberries
Strawberries taste great
When picked freshly from the field
Sweetness to my tongue
**********************
Tentacles
See my tentacles
I swim in the ocean free
Come closer to me
******************
Ties
Bless'd be the ties
That binds our hearts together
In the bonds of love
*********************
Vacations
I am so burnt out
I need a vacation now
Boss, please let me go?

Watermelon
Watermelon seeds
Encased in a sea of red
Could mean future life
