Extreme Haiku

Bene Diction, the Official Canuck of this blog, seeks some extreme weather haikus. One way to deal with the arctic temperatures we're facing this winter and the sweltering temperatures in Australia and New Zealand.

Haikus are typically written in a 5-7-5 pattern: 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 again for the last. Bene D quotes some computer error message haikus from Connexions.

I searched through the archives of my blogs for haikus I'd written, and I found some:

• Computing Haiku, some error messages of my own.
• On August 30, 2002, Major League Baseball in the USA was on the verge of a strike. I wrote a Baseball Strike Haiku as a way of voicing my opinion.
• Reflecting on warmer days in Meditation - A Haiku
• Finally, a Spiritual Haiku, written to God
• I've even created my own haiku structure and used it to provide an update for what happened within a 24-hour period: Recapitulation Situation

Presidential Haiku is a great blog, containing haikus about U.S. Presidents.

Here are some cold weather Haiku's I just came up with (impromptu):

Welcome to Dayton
"Balmy" 3 degrees outside
Time for a sweater

It's so cold outside
Winter's chill felt in my bones
Makes nose hairs shiver

Winter, you bully
Knocked me down and beat me up
And stole my lunch money

Remember, in the Empire Strikes Back, when Obi-Wan Kenobi appeared to Luke Skywalker as he escaped the Wampa's lair? This one is reminiscent of that scene:

Dagobah system?
Hope it's different than Hoth --
I'm about to freeze
