Haiku
I love haiku. I sometime do a scrapbook page with one of my favourite haiku in order to have them ALL turned into a poetry album one day.
Here are some great haiku pages.
First some of the traditional stuff:
Haiku of Issa
Haiku of Shiki
Haiku of Basho

Computer haiku
Microsoft error messages would be so much nicer to read if they came in that format.
Erotic haiku:
Nerve haiku, part II
Haiku by Nerve staff members

Thanks for that link. I love generators, but had never heard of a haiku one before.
Please feel free to visit With Words and Area 17.
On Area 17 I’m inviting people to send short poems or haiku about trains and stations who aren’t able to come along to the live renga event I’m co-hosting at a train station.
