h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust,
Dust, dust, Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust,
Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust.

Blimey that was easy or did I break a cardinal rule?

Next subject: Twin Peaks

A link to where?

Oh **** I've done the 6-8-6 thing ... I meant to say...


wait for it .....



Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust
Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust, dust
Dust, dust, dust, dust, dust

Right onto the next subject: Twin Peaks

Hands full of cream'd corn.
The log speaks of the black lodge.
She's wrapped in plastic.



Next topic, blue velvet

The storm is over
Like blue velvet lies the sea
I dream of flying

, that sounds as if I was taking interesting medication at the moment... . I'M NOT!!!! It was just all I could come up with.

I guess you meant "blue velvet" as in the movie? Sorry, never seen it, so I couldn't write about it.

But to stay with the movies: next topic is Star Wars (If someone actually posts a haiku about the movie "blue velvet" of course he/she can pick the next topic!!!!!)

I have a feeling Aurora, that that's what haiku are SUPPOSED to look like. It's just, mine never do (... well, I'm not the muse of GOOD poetry )

Bright Blue Shorts (hee! What a cool name!) I LIKE it! I did the same thing with sheep a while back.

And I've been putting the names of contributors on the Haiku Challenge page with links to their user sites, and I was wondering if you'd like me to do that for you BBS? And you too, of course, Aurora?
Star Wars

"You killed my father!"
"No, Luke, I AM your father!"
"Black is recessive?"

next: Star Trek

, or

The Enterprise Crew
Boldly explore the planet
The red shirt will die.

Next: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Inane TV shows,
such as Buffy, Friends, ER,
are a waste of time.

NT: late-night cable TV

My nights are sleepless
I tune in to TBS.
Now I am brain dead.



Next, bread machines

Bread machines appear
to be a boy thing. Just like
Barbeques; why's that?

next: Dr. Seuss

, or

Thank you!!!
(That WAS a compliment, wasn't it??? )

Yes please! Put me down on the Challenge page!

Oh, and I LOVE you SW haiku! It's great!!!
Last year I bought a book with German Haikus. Most of them are about Cologne - it's wonderful! Beautiful language!!!!

BTW there are some great computer haikus on this page: (URL removed by moderator)

Dr Seuss I am,
Green eggs and ham; and cat in
the hat on the mat


Link yes please

Next topic: Snowing [because that's what it's doing right now ]

Ja Nätrulich, it was a compliment I hope I spelt that right. And thank you for your kind words on my haiku

I must add that link to the challenge page somewhere; it looks good but I'm about to get keyboard-face, so I won't do it tonight. Thanks for pointing it out!

And Aurora, and Bright Blue Shorts, you're both on the Challenge page.

Snowing:

What pretty white balls
of cotton wool, I just wish
they were not so cold.

next: flooding (which it isn't doing here, but .... )

, or

Nature gingerly
Climbing over man-built walls:
And swells in triumph.

Any good?

Next: Sean Connery

great haiku on flooding!

Sean Connery:

The older he gets
The better he looks. I like
Him best in a kilt.

(duh!)

Next topic: Discworld or Terry Pratchett (Yep! I'm a big fan!)

BTW, or the word is "natürlich" . Do you speak German??? You could have a look at the GerMania Connection German lessons (I'll post the link later... .)

I KNEW there was an umlat in there somewhere , I'm following the lessons there, or more correctly, getting overwhelmed. I used to learn at school, but I speak very little.

discworld

Where else can you get
a trunk with legs, that bites and
follows you around?

next: watching the grass grow

PS, that was VERY nice KC

Lying on my back,
gazing up at the blue sky
grass stained prat am I.

topic: changing the cat litter

How long has this been
sitting here? It stinks, the smell
makes me very sick.

next: flies

, or

Buzzing around my head
Do they think I am their lunch?
They are spreading germs.



Next topic, fleas.

Here is a footy Haiku ... my first attempt!

Wrexham football club
Break my heart on Saturday
If only they won!

oops!, just realised I didn't follow the topic ... okay, hang on ... fleas hmmmmm ....
