A Workshop

Hickory and pine,
hammers, nails and odds and ends!--
what now shall I create?

Returning to religion, this time regarding more of a hindu/buddhist belief.

The Circle and the Spirit

As flickering life
begins to fade, wash away
with the great river.

The New Carpet

Wistful for the well-
worn. New is tiny knife of
burning defiance.

Luigi will win,
Unless he's racing Daisy.
Whipped, even in sport.

Or if Mario
should ever cross his path, then
COIN RIGHT THROUGH THE FACE!

Oh man, Luigi death stare themed haikus? Count me in!

No more in shadows,
fear brought unto his rivals
Luigi time now

Birds Singing

The beat is not strong.
This is natural music.
Purely classical.

Internet distracts with cats

Well, you've met with a

Shouldn't have done that...

Here ye, a two parter.

The Ups and Downs

Motivation flows
as the wind blows: some days strong
and other days weak.

We try our damnedest
to plot a line of best fit
about this zigzag.

Well, I've never written a Haiku before so here goes.

Autumnal Frost

Glistening blue leaf
Watch your amber heart wither
With anguish and grief

Another Day

The world's morass eats
it away. The bottom of
the food chain is time.

Did this one in contemplation of having been ill for the last two weeks.

Singing in the rain
only makes you wind up with
a very sore throat.

Oh no that's too bad! I love doing stuff in the rain.

Happiness Cures All

The healing power
of laughter shatters any
form of displeasure.

...I really want to write a haiku about football now after seeing that game >_>

The Collapse

I ignore the jolt
of pain of heart and feel cool
tiles and darkness.

Clarity

Through the murky mist
Her crystal does find its way
She brings a clear kiss

The Kid on the Bike

It only takes a
journey going far away
to feel close to earth.

Brilliant!

This one's called For Shelly's Sake

Cast away crutches
and rise above all the rest.
Show her you're the one.

It's a fun idea.
I will start doing this too.
This was my Haiku.

Howdy Newgrounds people.
This is my second Haiku.
And now the third one.

Yo hands in the air.
Like yo really do not care.

Oh no! It's a good message in some ways but it makes me feel bad about being such a logical person lol! :S
In spite of that, here's Numbers...

Combinations rule

Hmm...I think he meant the third one instead of the first.

Also, @Elephly: don't feel bad! Being irrationally stubborn is usually a bad thing:

Sometimes I am like
an altruistic version
of Sheldon Cooper.

lol! ;)

Oh, no it's cause "idea", to my knowledge, is 3 syllable, making the first line 6 syllables :)

That explains it all.
I thought it was only two.
Three sounds really weird.

Beginning of the End

This is a story.
Right about how, my life got,
Flip-turned upside down.
