What's a HAIKU?
            A haiku is a poem, originally from Japan (my wonderful home)!  It's a short poem, with only 3 lines. The first line is 5 syllables, the second line is 7 syllables, then the third line is 5 syllables.  And I AM a Japanese dog, after-all, so here are some of my humble poems.  I AM also an amatuer, so please don't email me to tell me none of my poems work.. =( People have done that!
             
      WHAT?? Don't I LOOK like a Poet?
       
      I am shedding now
      All over their new nice clothes
      Golden dogs are cool
       
      My family is home
      where is my banana toy ?
      So that we can play
       
      The ground is muddy
      I run free, after the rain
      Bath-time is fun
       
      It is Supper time
      Chomp (x7)
      I now have hiccups
       
      Nothing to do here
      I hate being all alone
      A-whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!!
       
      What a strange creature
      A small furry hamster thing
      Can I eat it, please?
       
      It is a dog's life
      She's going to school again
      I'll go back to sleep.
       

      * Great Haiku's Molly has found *
      These are great ones from
      Tom's Poetry- Christmas Haiku
       
      the cat plays with
      low-hanging ornaments
      till one falls on its head
       
       popcorn on a string
      the dog licks off the salt
      church bells in the distance
