Thursday Thirteen
News Haikus You Can Use!!! 1. Haiku is a form of poetry from Japan. 2. As kids we were taught that it must be written in three lines, and that instead of rhyming, we were to pay attention to the number of syllables in each line. 3. The number of syllables should be 5 in the first line, 7 in the second, then 5 in the last. 4. Now many other forms are accepted, even among Western haiku writers. 5. Even so, I'm sticking with the 5-7-5, because I'm familiar with it, and I'm just doing this for fun. 6. Hiccups a possible sign of cancer: study I guess I'm OK7. US says gas may hit $3 a gallon Three bucks a gallon?8. Ahmadinejad: Oil Price Is Lower Than Value Ahmadinejad9. Oklahoma Marks Bombing's 11th Anniversary Eleven years now10. Did Tom eat the placenta? Tasty placenta!11. Mumps Hits Midwest, More Vaccine Promised Aren't there shots for that?12. Pa. Professor Develops Snake-Like Robots Snake-like robots, why?13. States Omitting Minorities' Test Scores No Child Left Behind Links to other Thursday Thirteens! If you've done a Thirteen this week, please do leave me a comment and link yourself up. :-) Don't skip the comment part, though, because I get all crabby, and you wouldn't like me when I'm crabby. |
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

BSTS-I think it comes from the part of the brain that other people use to store directions to places they've been a hundred times...I may be able to write silly haikus, but I get lost on the way to the post office.
Excellent. I have written one Haiku in my life! When I was about 7. Don't remember it, but it can't have been as great as any of yours.
My list is up.
My list is up.
You're so good at that!
You could write a Haiku Book.
Come see my Thirteen.
(I did it! Didn't I? WOOT! I can't remember the last time I did a haiku!)

I was going to write my response in Haiku form, but I am not creative at 8 am.

Jen, You were the first to welcome me- thanks for that. I was never very good at coloring in the lines or rhyming or staying within the speedlimit to include word counts but it is fun to attempt. I shall one day soon. Be Blessed!
Haha, I love it! I remember having to write Haikus in school...but I never had this much fun with them!

Good list. I had to click on a couple of those. Agast at Tom Cruise for actually saying Katie can scream as loud as she wants during childbirth. I so wanna pull his liver out through his ...well I'll Haiku it for you.
Tom is not my man...
Let's see him scream like a girl
Dear God, Give him a cramp.
