2023 Summer Haiku "Contest"

[Woocash]

You’ve started so well,
a bald stump three months ago,
and that nebari…

 

[mj_barb]

Thought about this all day
With nothing to show for it
Kinda like my trees

 

[August]

How do you haiku?
Seven syllables here right?
I think I did it?

 

[Shogun610]

Bonsai on the brain
Hey James, finished that report ?
Oh you mean repot?

 

[19Mateo83]

I have too many…
The trees are taking over!
Will they repot me?!

 

[nuttiest]

Sweet slice of deadwood
come to my hook, and tear clean
what will catch moonlight

 

[Dav4]

Spring buds now needles

The sunshine polishes them

Old bark gets thicker

 

[Dav4]

The grill belches smoke

Rolling aromas blind me

Cold beer and burnt buns!

 

[Scorpius]

Trees need their water
The days are getting longer
Never enough time

 

[Dragon60]

Summer sun rises
To nourish the bonsai trees
For all bonsai nuts

 

[Michigan Tree Murderer]

Shade is a tool, a device, a savior
I try and look up to the sky
But my eyes burn (cloud)

 

[19Mateo83]

Random haiku words
The vomit rolls off my tongue
Someone take my phone

 

[ShadyStump]

Another contest
Another chance at greatness
Another sweet tool

Warming up my brain
To do lyrical battle
Let’s go one more time

You know who you are
And you know where this will lead
Here we go again

Come and try your best
And then every one shall see
How winning is done

I have a surprise
If bonsai nut will allow
Nothing too fancy

To add to the loot
I will add a little tree
Maybe a ficus

Maybe an elm tree
Something fun and something free
Just a starter, wheee!!!

The audacity!
Oh, the narcissistic gall!
The can is open!

 

[19Mateo83]

The audacity!
Oh, the narcissistic gall!
The can is open!

Oh s*** here we go!
I was hoping you would bite
I admire the fight

Run right up in what?!
Go ahead and get more cans…
Your gonna need em

[MeDupree]

Sprinkle water from afar
Drip fish fertilizer close
Braids the nose hairs

 

[Maros]

Now summer here again comes,
But the mite likes the fresh green
Spray! Mites bites the dusts!

 

[19Mateo83]

Oh, you don't know yet.

Even my cans got cans, yo!

Cans with cans you say?
They call me the can crusher
I’m coming for you

While you play with cans
I bring it by the bucket
My poems will break bone

I’m just warming up
Are you really ready man?
You know how this ends
