Haiku, too (part 3, actually)
Weekend is coming.
Mow lawn, clean house, do laundry.
Weekend is all gone.
The slowly crawling
cars, buses, trucks and trailers.
This is called rush hour?
Snarling ugly dog
charges unprotected me.
These are nice-sized rocks.
Yes, she's not normal
but I really do like her.
She's me, don't you see?
So, I did four this time just to bring my total submitted to Haiku Buckaroo to an even ten. But now I see that Jen at A2EatWrite has submitted fifteen(!) all at once, so I might have to crank out a few more before it's all over on August 10.

You know, I used to think I was a Haiku Master, but y'all are schooling me! These are great.
I like the ugly dog one. It applies to our neighbor's pit bull.

LOL, Jami, I was just on a roll... these are great fun to play with, aren't they?
I loved the dog one, too... and the weekend one. Have one of those coming up myself.

These are really fantastic--the rush hour one made me giggle aloud.
You should take a peek at Haiku for You, I think you'd enjoy it!

Can you start a haiku with "There once was a man from Nantucket"?

Well, I started a fight with a man from Nantucket once by saying "Haiku". Or something that might have sounded like "Haiku".

Writing haiku is
Easy. You just stop at the
Seventeenth Syllab.
