Something about the constraints of this poetic form really calls to me. I also like that they are often funny. Like this one (which I did NOT write, but I don't know who did. I saw it on Wikipedia.):

Here is one I did write today, inspired by a picture of a dog on my favorite blog, Posie Gets Cozy.

When I play Kingdom of Loathing, I like to hang out in the haiku chat channel. It's pretty funny because even the mods are forced to talk in proper haiku:

five, seven, then five
We MUST talk about SFU. LOVED the writing and acting! Here's a Haiku
ReplyDeleteYou cared for my dogs
I'm sure that I heard them say,
"I ruv you Tara"
