This important Haiku moment sponsored entirely by

My "Life" entry done
Happy to not finish last
Beer will ease the pain

Please feel free to join me.
And remember, Haiku is in the 5/7/5 syllable format. Some of you are writing in iambic pentameter or free verse. Still, wonderful work by all.

Nice first entry. And the haiku compliments the image well :-)

Free Study entry
Doesn't have a wow factor
But I like it fine

My "Life" entry bombed.
I wish I had finished last.
And I don't drink beer...

Bombs, bombs, bombs...
The splendour of a battlefield.
I raise my cup and drink alone.

No "Life" entry here.
My life occupied elsewhere.
A cat video.

Please spare a ribbon:
just one of any colour,
and give it to me.

Thoughts are not springing
Haiku has surely been lost
Amongst us poets

Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

My time is an endless worry
A button of light under thumb.
Hey look, pizza crust.
