It’s Haiku Friday, a day when any DogCanyon reader can be a poet. Because here at DogCanyon, we love populism and art.
With haiku there are just a few simple rules to remember.
Every haiku has three lines. The first line has five syllables. The second line has seven syllables. The third line has five syllables, and often contains a little something unexpected.
It’s Friday so take five minutes to write a little haiku and post it here in the comments section.

roots of aspen trees
all connected underground
are you in my grove?

New York city streets
pavement skyscrapers steel shine
quick smell of decay
Here you go DogCanyon. I haiku with 3 alternate endings.
if I could trick you
with art into loving me
I would run through snow
if I could trick you
with art into loving me
winters would chill me
if I could trick you
with art into loving me
I would be lonely
U S is crumbling
Repubs and oil are the cause
Miracles await
what the hell man
I just want tacos pastor
with extra pico
peach blossoms in spring
give way to fruit in autumn
om nom nom nom nom
barefoot in my yard
poo got stuck betwixt my toes
for sale: two cute pups
Don’t you know? Carbs kill.
No dairy, no grains, no sweets!!
Fuck off, I’m hungry.
Hiking with some friends,
a creek on a desert trail.
Kids fall in face first.
Lunch today outside
watermelon in the yard
best shared with chickens.
Watch out little mice,
no rodents are welcome here.
Ass-kickin' chickens!
Creature hides under
Barn dog barks at it all night
Can't get no sleep
Coyote moon. Yelps
Ripple along Yegua Creek
Does comfort their kids
Doves nesting in Oak
Thunder lightnin' zig-zag. Fast
Movin' May Norther
Jim Hill is stupid.
Yes. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Unexpectedly.
A man of giving
Jim knew well how to create
A life of meaning
