Ok, for those that don't know what a Haiku (Hi-koo) is here's a quicky explanation. They are really easy, simple poems moslty inspired by nature. They follow a specific form - the first line has 5 sylables, the second has 7, and the third and final has 5 also. I doesn't matter about how many words as longas the sylable count is exact.Oh, and there are no rhyming words either. I love hakiu's, I think they are so sweet and I love writing them. Here's one about beans.

small orange wonderful
simple ad small, nutritious
beans are fabulous

I hope this inspires more veggie-orientated haikus!

wondering about
the future holds too much grief
needless suffering

the future inside
your mind is very busy
way too much thinking

the future looks bleak
what does it really matter
refusing to think

two bright spots
two yellow eyes shining
in empty darkness
