O(h) M(y) G(od) Ponies!!1
On a sunny, sandy beach
But where is their kite???
Spring break in Cabo
The Sun light warm on our manes
Shorty needs sun block!
Windy beach of May
Kites fly freely from our tails
Pally, brown and bay
Don’t look at the kites
when you see them flying
the end of summer has come
(I nearly always prefer the modern haiku to the strict, classicals 5-7-5, poetry should be free and open)
Hello visitor
We like you way better than
The dude with the kite
I don’t understand haikus so this is the best it’s going to get, even if it’s all wrong.
Horses always run
But wish flight on summer winds
Kites much too small
I’ve heard of horseslips
But one more horse and we have
The apocalypse.
Where is Jessica’s limerick entry, by the way? I’d love to see the winning piece!
Assateague Island
Ponies running wild and free
Nature is sublime.
Those are nice haikus
But if you want to enter,
Don’t comment; e-mail!
We walk along sand.
Three horses of diff’rent browns.
Weird man flies a kite.
Warm spring on the beach
Kites leap into the sky
Ponies do not care
OMG ponies!
ponies ponies OMG!
where’s my Nintendo?
Drop the sugar cube
And then back away slowly
And you won’t get hurt
Tom Hanks been too long
With a soccer ball, and now
He could eat a horse
oh hai there, ponies
want to help me fly this kite?
I haz some carrots
Look at the pony
They totes look like Fabio
With long luscious hair
Summer wind aloft
Blows manes and kites so distant
Little one’s not yours
Rah-rah marketing
of cute is not itself cute.
Blog loses its charm.
[I take this to mean
- Ed.]
[Yesterday's limerick prize
[Went to someone else?
How your shades of brown
So warm are against the blue
Sun-dappled ponies
just posing topless
on creamy summer landscape
aren’t we pretty
We are Clairol girls
Pick your shade – blonde or auburn
Brunette is the best!
Pony family
Smile for the camera
Damn kite guy in shot
We three
As one
On wind blown sand
Ponies on the beach
Sun and sand beneath their hooves
Summer breeze feels fine
Pyrit, will you STOP
You’re making me choke on spit
OMG Ponies!!1!
The warm sand below
The blue sky above so free
So happy, we three
**pats self on back for haiku referencing haiku irony**
Kite in the sky, high
Fringe in the face at the beach
Day is not wasted
Wow, freaked out for a second when I saw Linnea’s post, thinking, “But I didn’t post that!” It takes me some time to remember that there are other people named Linnea in the world since I so rarely meet them.
No haiku….just WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ShelleyTambo…I know the feeling, I felt the same way when I first saw another Noelle on here. I was worried I was posting while sleep walking or something. Hey, stranger things have happened
Vanilla, butter-
Scotch, and chocolate, yummy
Can I have ice cream?
Bare-backed ponies, three
No tan lines. You’re the only
Nudists allowed on the beach
Ponies on a beach
Now understand why felines
Value sand bathrooms
Kites are for losers.
You want to harness the wind?
Then hop on, baby.
Tried to take picture
of my family flying kites
ponies stole the show
Blond, redhead, brunette
Like horsey Charlie’s Angels
On a beach stakeout
Sunny, sandy beach
Three horses stand together
Background guy with kite
Wow, they didn’t even poo everywhere. This photo is truly miraculous.
OMG, FrankDNA FTW! Best haiku EVAR!
I’m truly LOL
Horse-ku
Okaaaaay, they’re horses.
So why are their hairdos like
A Flock of Seagulls?
(This is my first-ever attempt at embedding a link. Wish me luck.)
A conversation in haiku form:
Asymmetric bob
It covers your pretty face
Give it a rest, mom
@FrankDNA, contact me and I’ll give you the number for my company’s IT department, who will be interested in having you pay for a new monitor to replace the one that had nosecoffee sprayed all over it.
I’ve mailed my submishe.
Snub Your Kite Flying
OMG EMO Ponies
They Say Meh to You
Got sand in our hooves
Got Sea and Salt in our Manes
We be sea horsies!
@Argyle Donkeypants: Hilarious haiku! *snerk*
Three prosh ponies prance
Man in background: awkward stance
Why he stare at kite?
Horses three beseech
Kite man could use fashion help
Get us out of here
Hey! Is that Assateague??
I saw three ponies
Posing on the beach, pretty.
These babes are knocked up.
We are an itsy,
bitsy, tee-neigh, whinny, brown,
three piece biki-neigh
Oh pyrit! Between Charlie’s Angels and yours, I don’t know. I just don’t know! I’m glad I don’t have to judge and pick one for a winner!
chris P: i love yours, love it!!
Freedom stands before
Hooves fly as a summer kite
Sand impedes our flight
OT
i have an earache
like a tiny baby
somebody pat me?
Sky so Blue
Wind swept sand
We three friends together.
Anyone with kids who can’t think of a haiku and wants to use mine to submit please do.
Hugs
Annie
We three are horses
Curiosity is ours.
Camera ready?
Number fifty-one
If not pulled from old feed bag
Would win by a nose
Beach bums? Get out, man.
We are working very hard
To impress the chicks.
man won’t share his kite
they leave dejected, now, sir
back into revenge
Brown, browner, brownest
They are the horses of a
Different color
My little ponies
Not so good imitations
Of the three of us
Modern day-type
Misty of Chincoteagues are
totes up in this piece.
Here’s mine:
Bare hooves in the sand,
Clouds and kites painting the sky,
Sun kissed paradise.
Ahhhh… just relaxes me
Sitting on the beach
A cool wetness strikes my head
Gonna kill that bird
athankyou
Wannadance, ear pain
Is the worst. Wishing you a
Corgi puppy pile.
(…also a heating pad for your ear!)
Pony haiku:
Sunny skies, white sands.
Horses posing by the shore.
Kites, flying, relax.
Avalanche of Cute
Descends, causing Overload
O M G, Ponies!!!!
Bonus haiku, because I was on a roll:
Appreciation
of their fuzzy ‘tocks only earns you
Bun Disapproval
Sky so blue,
A slight summer breeze,
Blowing manes
Manny, Moe, and Jack
In their next life, on the beach
Not selling car parts
A day at the beach
It’s kind of hot here for us
Mom, can we go home?
Working on my tan
So stallions will find me hot
Pass the Baby Oil
Mom! Dad! Look a kite!
Son, you don’t have any hands.
Come on! We said neigh!
Summer beach breezes
My mane tangles in the wind
Need conditioner
ponies on the beach
these gals know where to check out
all the hottest studs
@Hmmm
Donated prizes
We pass the savings to you
This contest is free
Ponies in the sand
But where have all the kites gone?
Can’t see for my mane.
Patting Wannadance
(Now I’m hearing Cheech and Chong’s
“Earache My Eye” skit)
Clear blue summer skies,
Wide-open innocent days;
Horses remember.
I’ve been really busy all morning, but I wanted to post the limerick sent by our randomly-selected winner, Jessica K.:
There once was a cat o’ so sloppy
he tried to create a monopoly
once given the chance
he evaluated his stance
and changed his mind to favor Oligopoly
Pretty cute, Jessica!
We have the power
we have the technology
to make the kites’ wind
My submishe:
Let them all go fly a kite
We’re here and coiffed for
the Flock of Seagulls concert
[And I ra-a-an
[Ran so far a-way-ay-ay
[Couldn't get away - Ed.]
Soft velvet muzzles,
warm, horse-y scent uprises
hot sand; wind relief
Enough sand
Grass we need grass
Meadow please
You can lead a horse
To water, but you cannot
Make him fly a kite
blonde, red, and brunette,
how pretty are beach ponies,
running wild in the sand.
Ponies on the windy beach
Manes flowing lightly
Wish they had a kite to fly.
A brunette, a blonde, and a redhead
go commando on the beach….
no one is offended.
Three wispy tailed ponies,
summer photo shoot
let the fun begin!
too big for most rules
of cute, the ponies try to
be unassuming
Horseletts stare at me
Do you like their floofy bangs
A spectrum of brown
Skies of pretty blue
Tails swish in the ocean breeze
Some guy’s flying kites
—
Again, unrelated cute-themed haiku:
cat loves to cuddle
but litter-paws in my face
make it hard to sleep
Horse back in the surf
These three horsies want none of
Facebook pics instead
three ponies standing
one shorter than the others
what does it all mean?
Sun surf windy day
Horses have no kite to play
Want to go home now
ponies on the beach
sun, blue sky and kites oh my
paradise indeed
Baywatch lifeguard job:
To watch the bay all summer.
She won’t leave our sight.
Ponies, a trio
They ignore me and my kite
Ponies can be mean
The only ponies
that fit in my apartment:
Digital Ponies
Santa, there has been
A miscommunication.
“Beachhouse”, not beech horse.
Summer sand in your face,
Kicked there by you nemeses:
Herd of jock horses.
horses on the beach
our tails they swing in the breeze
sand — it is in my hoof
Finally a breeze
But the ponies broke my kite
Darn you beach ponies
check our stylish bangs
and our most knob-bu-lar knees
we do what we want
well have you ever
wearing such a thing to swim
the scandal of it
Don’t look at the kites
Ponies are better to watch
Or we will stomp you!
Three Ponies I see
On the beach in front of me
From light to dark, too!
Oh My God Ponies!!!!!?!?
Won’t you cut my long bangs please?
See my knobby knees?
ok not a haiku.
3 little ponies sitting on the beach
W-H-I-N-N-I-E
1 had the snacks
the other had the treats
The third said “eep! I forgot the sweets!”
Dreaming of Ponies
My small ponies on the beach
So furry and cute
ZOMG!!PONIES1!!
Is the saying to say now!
Say it now will you!!
Such talented CO Peeps! I loved reading the haikus. I’m too tired to write one about the ponies, but I’ll share one I wrote after picking up my friend’s cat, Lucy, after she had been spayed at the low-cost clinic:
Warm, soft sleeping cat
Pillowcased weight in my lap
Hysterectomy
silly man in shorts
thinks you are supposed to put
the kite behind the horse
[Well, I lol'd... - Ed.]
Chincoteague paths lead
to ponies waiting for a treat…
“Can haz apple slice?”
*O0<
Why is the kite-man
Not paying attention to
The ponies? Weirdo.
Ponies in the wind
Wishing to be flown as kites
Paradise indeed
Ahhh lovely accompaniment to breakfast! Many great haikus here indeed.
Christi: lol synchronicity, same last line
We have landed now.
Just so you know, all your beach
is belong to us.
Gentle ocean breeze
and essence of beach pony
hold the kites aloft
Bright kite in the sky
Climbing higher and higher
Oh My God Ponies!!!1!!
I only has a *little* ADD
never realized before, those are some rotund ponies…..
three ponies standing
on the beach with guy and kites
ponies not amused
on this sandy beach,
don’t we love this scene right now,
beautiful ponies
Acrostic and Haiku
CAR
Caring people
Appreciated I am
Racing is my game
CAT
Chasing all the mice
Acting innocent and nice
Trouble in my eyes
ponies on the beach
kites flying over our heads
we wish hooves were hands
Knobbed knees in the breeze
Trim my bangs, would you? Then I
Could find my kite.
Knobbed knees in the breeze
Trim my bangs, would you? That I
Might observe my kite.
Woops, 2nd try : )
Kids
The kids smiles spread
And so dose the atmosphere
They make the world spin
this is a haiku,
old macdonald had a farm
e-i-e-i-o.
