Thought this might be fun.
Haiku:A poem consisting of 5 lines with 5-7-5-7-7 syllables respectively.
As one of the oldest forms of poetry still active (in 1987-88 Machi Tawara's book Salad Anniversary sold over 8 million copies in Japan alone) the form has recently been discovered by writers around the world.
In those years -- 9th - 12th centuries -- when tanka was so fashionable, poets competing in contests revived an old Chinese form by linking tanka poems together in a novel way. The poem was "broken" in half so one author wrote the 5-7-5 part and another responded and finished the poem by adding his (mostly men did this though it was first done by a woman!) 7-7 part. Instead of stopping there, someone else wrote a new 5-7-5 poem to "answer" to the previous 7-7 link and they named the genre renga -- meaning linked elegance. This proved to be so much fun poets were soon writing poems of 1,000 and even 10,000 links.
I`ll start
Blue sky single beat
in cadance performing now
earth beckons the winged

Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the loft not a creature was stirring,not even the cocks. The stockings were hung by the feeder with care in hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
The squeakers were all in the corner for warmth,but 514 had an eye to the North. She cocked her head and looked at the trap,for on the roof she heard, tap tap tap.
Oh my! Could it be!?! Did Santa really bring something for me?
She tucked her head under her wing, feigning sleep, hardly able to conceal her glee. Santa was here, right here in the loft.
He moved thru the box with the utmost of care touching each bird, some here and some there. When he touched 514 she heard Santa say, "You will be famous, a great bird in the air. Your children will be spread out everywhere.Your heart is great as the Sun above. Your flight shows the roll that you love. I give you this gift so the sport will not die but live on forever for Mrs. Claus and I. Although you don`t know,and you never will,great rollers give Santa a mighty big thrill."
With that Santa jumped back on his sleigh off into the night he was on his way. When the birds went up the next day into the air, Scotty said "Wow! Look there! That bird is a keeper I`ll stock her today. I have never seen this kit so brave." They rolled to the treetops but never beyond with a flourish at the end as if to say Hurrah! Scotty stood with his mouth agape wondering "Just where was the judge today.?!!!"
We all hope, and we all pray to be under a kit that particular day,when the roll is for Santa though he`s miles away.
Merry Christmas Ya`ll

Now redo this and I'll sing it and put it on youtube.. lol nnnnnot
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
(I think the following stanza shouldn't be there.. lol)
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
That twould be cool though!

I personally like lymerics, here's one that i just made up.....
There once was a pretty good Bowler
Though honest was a pretty hard blower
He got into a fight
Over a scratch or a strike
And hung up the ball for some rollers.

Rolling thru the sky
In a little spinning ball
toward the earth they go
spinning all the way
red with bald heads spin
enough to make me smile
oh what fun it is to see
a roller roll with style
OOOOOOH
Spinning bird spinning bird
spinning thru the sky.
As you fall to-ward the earth
I hope that you dont die
spinning bird spinning bird
spinning thru the sky
I wish you did that every day
and I wish that I could flyyyyyyyyy

feathered monsters kill with claws
no chance to fly now
falling down knees unlocking
just lay here and take the pain
locked away now dark
his nemesis owl shrieks swoops
strikes with dark bent claws

Tune of "Jingle Bells"
Poling down da swamp
in a leaky ole pirogue
see da crawdads nestin
hear da craokin of da frog
dem possum are a playin
da choupique swim around
it's Christmas time on da Big Bayou
Santa Claus gonna come to town
Oh! Tok-Tok, Balls
Tok-Tok Balls, a piece of red boudan
Santa Claus is comin
he just left point au chien!
Tok, Tok, Balls
Tok, Tok, Balls
We'll have boudan an rice
It's Christmas time on da Big Bayou
So you better be actin nice!
Thought I better interpret;
pirogue - originally a dugout cypress boat, very small, usually poled standing rather than paddled, sitting down.
choupique - shoo-pik, a fish, grinnel or bowfin
Tok-Tok Balls - Popcorn balls
red boudan - cajun blood sausage, spicey
point au chien - Dog Point, place on the bayou
Heaux! Heaux! Heaux! Merry Christmas!
