Sokka's Haiku Battle (http://youtu.be/K7-2_gUuWK4) I loved The Avatar cartoon.
My submission:
The hound is here now
Greedily chewing his bone
Not to be disturbed
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 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senry%C5%AB), in my opinion.
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
Yet it gets it wrong

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
Rinse lather repeat
I'll give it a try.
Spammers register
They won't get through on my watch
Bring me the hammer
Sneakers change their name
To hock their shit every day
Fernanda never plays
The Asmo, He has the perfect haiku in His siggie.

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
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
When I broadcast thoughts
Edward II
Had a red-hot poker shoved
Up his you-know-where.
Some roses are red
Whereas violets are blue
I don't like flowers.
Satanist forum
Black and red pentagrams there
my head really hurts
What that forum lacks
Are some colourful haikus
Whiskey and lemons
Creationists
What a mystery they are

I spent the day in
aisle 6, cold flu remedies,
wellness boxed, bottled.
I took a long pole
And shoved it up this bloke's arse.
"Yaroogh!" he loudly cried.
Mankind runs amok
Violence and fury rule
The stars are not moved
Beginning at last
Mess up, don't forget to learn
Then begin again
A British schoolgirl, Grace Starkey, from Stroud, a market town I know well not far from where I live, is the first non-Japanese to win in the English section of a major haiku competition in Japan.
QuoteGracie, who is 14, beat 18,247 other entries to win the English category in the 28th Ito En Oi Ocha New Haiku Contest, which attracts almost two million entries.
It seems there have been other haikus written in English, but all by Japanese poets.
Her entry was:
Freshly mown grass
clinging to my shoes
my muddled thoughts
Her haiku does not follow the traditional pattern, but it seems that content can win over form, a poet commented that it would resonate with the Japanese mind. It obviously did!
I will admit that I have trouble with this form of poetry but that does not prevent me appreciating her acheivement.
The ark held them all
all but for the dinosaurs
eating ham and eggs
This is a haiku
Maybe it's not a haiku
What do I know?
Elemental haiku (http://vis.sciencemag.org/chemhaiku/?utm_source=sciencemagazine&utm_medium=facebook-text&utm_campaign=chemhaiku-14531)
That took me a while, but it was great.
Silver; Did you make that clever take on the periodic table just for those of us who appreciate the humor? Perhaps not, but I believe that you could. Hermes could help if needed.
No Icarus, but I wish I did! Hermes would certainly be better at it than I. :P
Only works for the northern hemisphere. :(
The pollen piles up
Yet the air is crystal clear
Spring in pandemic
one two tbree four five
one two three four five six sev . . .
one two three four five.
am i close?
Hellcat Challenger
Blasting down the open road
Now move your slow ass

Very clever. Someone had a lot of time.

The eyes are a sign
Childish humor at your age
Do not give that up
One, three, five, seven
Nine, eleven, and thirteen
Odd way to count, innit?
