Do you write haiku?
Syllables begin with five,
Then seven, then five.

And now your challenge -
We all love a mystery!
Write one for us, please.

Of course, there are rules;
Mysteries must be Haiku.
Here's an example:

She died at midnight;
Sherry and strychnyne don't mix...
The butler did it.

One haiku is all
You have to tell your story.
(Much unlike these rules)

Spelling's important;
So is plot, so be careful!
And it MUST make sense.

You may want a prize.
In fact, there will be prizes!
...When I think of some.

August thirty one -
Last date of submissions, please,
Just before midnight;

Exact server time
Is eleven fifty nine.
Don't miss the deadline!

Two laid down to sleep
Only one arose next morn
Cat, where is that mouse ?

sure it's been done... hmm to death

Another victim
falls to the ground. The wind laughs.
The death of a leaf.

Bricked in the chimney?
Well, he swore to keep her near!
Til death do us part.

Mystery? Or Morbid?

The great Haiku debate roles on... I'll get my thinking hat on and see what I can come up with...

Where are my keys now
Here one minute, gone the next
To find them I vow

I dedicate this poem to Stooby, not morbid and still a mystery to some:

Jelly donut, good
How did the jelly get in?
I don't really care

I see no seam. None.
How do they make the T-shirts?
The ones with no seam?

Why is Sleuth so slow?
Are the Servers running low?
Wake up Sleuth and go.

Why did he do it?
Someone tell me why he did.
Then where is he hid?

Aug-22-2007 13:03

Who dun it? They cry.
What's your alibi? I ask.
To the nick for you.
