Sokka's Haiku Battle I loved The Avatar cartoon.

My submission:

The hound is here now
Greedily chewing his bone
Not to be disturbed

your flue clean."  - Ecurb Noselrub

"I'd be incensed by your impudence were I not so impressed by your memory." - Siz

How to the salt mine
for me to them directly
then we have nothing

My phone spit that one out. Weird.

I think your haiku was rather good. This one is more of a senryū, in my opinion.
"Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration — courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and above all, love of the truth."

First a random five
Scrape the barrel for seven
Then dig up five more.

Jeez, but it's boring.  Nearly as mind-numbing as tennis.

Interesting. I'd never heard of a senryu before.

Morbid haiku box
In my pocket it sits now

I don't know about that OG. Having played tennis for many years I can't think of anything more stultifying!

Hit the ball across
Watch it sail over the net

The Asmo, He has the perfect haiku in His siggie.

In Asmo's grey lump,
wrath and dark clouds gather force.

I have no future
And whilst I love the present
It is passing now

maybe this is better:

I have no future
And whilst I love the present
It just passes by
I liked the earth before it was cool.

Jumbojak is right
I think I like haiku now
Insert good line here

Insert a line why
One's thought belongs to them only
Your eye is your own

A good line, a rhyme
I'm not the creative type
