    Sounds like a buyers market to me. Any of you poets want to generate some modern cash and sell any BIG BRONZEs? Get at me if you do.

    Actually, I spent the morning buying my wife Christmas presents. Now I'm driving this wagon...

    This is my favourite haiku.

    Haiku's are easy
    But sometimes they don't make sense

    :D

    Good stuff here :)

    Wow! What made you think to try a palindrome? Fabulous :D

    Haiku humor makes me smile.

    Anyone remember when "cat haiku" was a thing? Examples:

    Blur of motion, then --
    silence, me, a paper bag.
    What is so funny?

    You must scratch me there!
    Yes, above my tail! Behold,
    elevator butt.

    Grace personified,
    I leap into the window.
    I meant to do that.

    Terrible battle.
    I fought for hours. Come see!
    What's a 'term paper'?



    My late poet-cat Tigger even contributed a verse:

    Too fat to lick butt
    Big poop in the litterbox
    Scoot across the floor

    How about Latin:

    O tempora, o mores
    Non omnia possumus omnes
    Nunc est bibendum

    Translation

    Oh! the times! Oh! the habits!
    We cannot all do everything
    Now it is time to drink

    How about a real wagon haiku...

    The laden wagon runs
    Rumbling and creaking down the road.
    Three peonies tremble...

    - Buson, 18th Century

    Ok, I guess the OP haiku is still better. Or maybe one of the cat ones.
