Sweetness meets sweetness
Will your haiku stay crunchy
Even within milk?
Dig ‘em, Megan G. (No, wait, that’s Smacks.)
Friday Haiku: Gotta Have My Pops!

Sweetness meets sweetness
Will your haiku stay crunchy
Even within milk?
Dig ‘em, Megan G. (No, wait, that’s Smacks.)
Awwww, cute ratty! What big ears!
Oh the injustice
All the delicious morsels
And I cannot swim!
~Dora D.
A balanced breakfast
Requires breakfast balance
Too early for this
Yes, of course it’s sweet
It’s high fructose corn syrup
Mother Nature’s best
oh, you are all so good at this haiku business!!! i am so LMAO!
Why is it that every time I read a ‘ku, I’m always a’countin’ to make sure it’s a’five-seven-five?
*sigh* I’m twisted….
Bright eyes shining black
nose goes boldly to sweet treat
meal is best when shared
“Honey…” she exclaimed.
“A rat’s eating my breakfast.”
“I’ll get him a spoon.” (that’s what he said!)
Granola is bland
I prefer synthetic food
Pops or Cap’n Crunch!
Rat in mi kitchen
What Ima gonna do? I’m
gonna feex dat rat…
…a bowl of cereal, I’m gonna feex dat rat
With apologies to UB40.
I’m fairly certain
Stunbunny.
Haiku form is not about
“That’s what SHE said” gags
Yellow puffs of corn
Dancing in a bowl of milk
You all shall be mine
“Yes, eat up my food,”
Slinky cat lurks in the back,
Just waiting to pounce
Bowl of tasty treats
Poses puzzle I can’t solve:
Do I eat or swim?
picture of twue wuv
peep and pet sharing a bowl
without fear of germs
You guys wrote some amazing haikus! (haiki?)
Whatever, you guys are good and that ratty is cute.
Milky bowl of joy
It’s Sweeter than sweet , that’s sweet.
Two pals Breakfast treat
Mr. Rat check moat
after tossing Brush Man in.
Rats hate salesmen.
@Theo: I say bonus points for anyone who works “that’s what she/he said” into a haiku.
It’s been said what’s said
Should not be “that’s what he said”
But by whose say-so?

Creme-de-la-creme Rat
Add bowl of milk and honey
Cute and crunchy nom!
Yellow orbed goodness
Sweet delight for the senses
Ratty takes the plunge
The little guy/girl is uber adorabuhls! I would gladly share any meal with a creature of such discerning taste.
Friends should share a meal
Eating together is fine
But this makes me ill
In Canada, pops
look different than US.
I say, why is that?
Nibble little mouse
who’s that eating at my house
Silly witch ~ breakfast!
Is all this for me
Winter time will soon be here
A leaf softly falls
Never thought I’d see
A rat I could think was cute.
This one changes me.
Rats eat high fructose
And other nuclear junk.
Still here, mere mortal!
You guys are the best
I needed you in High School.
Failed this assignment.
(that’s totally true too…lol)
My poor kitteh Sol
no longer shares my breakfast
I now use soy milk.
but all is not lost
hubby still uses cow milk
Sol can share his bowl.
Sweet corn on my tongue
I can taste it now yum yum
Thank God for tip toes
Just looked at the pic
Second time around, earsies
Are deadifying!
Metsie LOL
metsakins – lol! same w my kitties – but no hubby to save them…
@Hon Glad: Brilliant!
Waiter, there’s a mouse
in my soup. I thought I said
chocolate fondue – EEK!
I’m not going to even try!!
[oh come on, that could be your second line, right there - Ed.]
C’mon Lose That Girl. You can do it! I was afraid, too, at first. It’s easier than it looks.
Rat has a sweet tooth
Rat likes his high fructose corn

Yellow Corn Pops Are
In This Bowl When I Clearly Asked
For Pancakes This Morn
Oh count fail on line two… doh!
Sweet little rodent
Cute but – a pet in my dish?
Break out the Lysol
Mamamclain:
Yellow corn pops are
In this bowl. I clearly asked
for pancakes this morn.
can haiku have two stanzas?
o sweet corn morsel
how can you be so tasty
and yet so poofy?
i fear once again
that bio-engineering
may have run amok
Corn pops for breakfast
oh what fun in my rat tum
Nibble slurp and crunch
Cute blond with big ears.
How much did I drink last night?
Breakfast awkwardness.
Start the day off right
Milk and cereal are part
of a balanced meal
Reaching, yearning, rat
Tries to eat sweet cereal.
Noiscicle now wet.
@ Lisa: Aha! Thanks…. Haiku is not my thing, Lime-ricks on the other hand, I can do well. I put the dash there cause I think I am funny….
ahem..
Bryn had beer-goggles
That have now worn off in time
For the walk of shame.
Breakfast with rodent
“Silly human”, he mumbled
“Why so tall, table?”
Milk cold on toesies,
but noms look so delicious
Better just stretch. Ehn.
Can you see my tongue?
A tongue ‘hance would be awesome.
It’s totally true.
awww, this rat reminds me of one who use to share my life. They make such sweet pets. She use to lick my hand all the time and she never ever took a nom, not even a teeny little one!
Iceberg! Right ahead!
No, a whole FLEET of icebergs!
Fetch Titanic Rat!
Never understood how to create a Haiku, but you folks are just slaying me!!!
Breakfast inspector!
Yes, everything seems good here.
A leeck for the road.
StormCat — 5 syllables first line, 7 in the second, 5 again in the third line. Try to make each line able to stand on its own. Maximum meaning, minimum verbiage. Oh, and if you want to be all traditional and poetic, try to include some sort of seasonal reference; I don’t usually bother.
@ Meredith ROFLMAO!!!111!!11111
I’d try my hand at
haiku, but my mind is a
total blank. So there.
Yellow pops of corms
Float like fallen leaves in milk
Golden rat DOES WANT!
no time for haikus til later……my public radio station needs my services
@birdcage -reason for different shaped pops has to do with 2 things:
1) type of corn hybrid used. we have alot of gmo’s in US sad to say.
2) type of “gun” corn is popped in (yes its called a gun).
its basically a steam jacketed pressure vessel which is pressurized and when
opened a drop in pressure occurs causing the steam inside kernel to flash and
expand, “puffing” the grain. same process for puffed wheat or corn. i know, tmi…….
Yay for ratties! This site needs more.
Rat tastes corn pops, milk.
A tad bland. Something’s missing.
Maybe it needs salt?
(see, cuz ye’r s’posed ta include a seasonal reference, and all…..)
[
That actually took me a second. *groan* 
- Ed.]
kellog’s new corn pops
ninety-five percent starched corn
hundred percent fun
Somebody just shoot me. I had to read Mary (the first)’s haiku 5 times before I figured out the “seasonal” reference. Really, I’m just too stupid to live this late on a Friday afternoon.
I do not get up
For less than five thousand.
Puffs?! Oh, OK then!
The green painted leaf
Makes it look so nutritious.
The rat is not fooled.
Partially hydrog-
enated vegetable oil,
yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
[Oh for pete squeaks THIS IS NOT A HAIKU
(LOL!) - Ed.]
Rachel, oh Rachel….
Dont be so hard on yourself!
Its just *Pop* culture
Food taster for king.
Prevents poison coup d’etat.
Oh la la! Here goes.
@Sprock – too, too, too funny! BRILLIANT! Even if Ed says no…although the “pete squeak” gets a giggle.
@Mary…also too, too, too funny!
@beardideris: GOOD!!!!!
All this is for me?
Sweet crunchy corn pops *and* milk?
Beady gratefulness.
[Y'know "gratitude" also works
- Ed.]
It’s alright Rachael
I had to read it ten times
Before I got it
Okay, I don’t get Mary’s seasonal reference at all. Either I’m not trying hard enough, I’m trying too hard, or I’m just out of it. Sigh.
@ Skippy Mom Sal is a season… get it??? hehehe
Sweet little ratty
Share some cereal with me
But I might squeeze you
Oh. It’s a seasoning reference. Never would have gotten there. Thanks, Kitty.
After sharing some
delicious breakfast nuggets,
let’s spoon together.
I am immpressed you got it even with my typos LOL.
@Jennie, too funny, That is definitely the first time I’ve read the line “Break out the Lysol” in a haiku LOLOLOL
Well, it taked me a minoot even after I read your splanation, K.
Mmmm, I love moo juice,
AND sweet cereal too?!
I must have been good!
Season reference
also took me a minute
I’ve taken a fall
Mary (the first) is
Too sharp for our Friday heads
We need some corn pops
Corn Pops in a bowl on the table,
Along comes a rat with eyes sable,
“A treat I can munch?
I’ll have it for lunch!
I’d like you to share if you’re able.”
Whiskers a-quiver.
Cute rodent nomming beckwiss.
Milk like winter dawn.
OMG, my ‘ku
Has caused comments! I’m Honored!
And glad! (but not Glad)
Mary the First FTW!
salt…seasonal…hahaha (yeah, it took me ages to get it, too)…Friday afternoons and my brain is drained.
Lucky little rat
eats his high charging breakfast
Gonna crash later!
@ Mary (the first) A haiku with a pun in it… I’m in heaven!
@Gigi: “is this heaven?” “no, it’s.. cute overload!”
[well it ain't Nebraska
- Ed.]
Do my eyes deceive?
The land of milk and honey!
Humans make great friends . . .
CO folks’ haikus

Bounteous breakfast,
Buoyant Pops in milk, a rat’s
Cornucopia.
flattened dumbo ears
highlight nomming rattie face
you now have the plague
“I have gift for you
Gift is pretty golden rat”
that is what he said !!
Will that do – I hope it is acceptable – did not someone want a “that is what he said” in a Haiku, I live the other side the pond (UK) and I love cute overload.
I write haiku – often – sometimes they help to sort out problemos.
**gets up faces west and makes lovely Japanese BOW – Oh SO**
Oh dear lord help meh….that looks like dumbo rat….aaaaaaand my heart is in a puddle. Sorry, I fail at haiku.
Here I was, looking
At a wombat in a box
I could have seen rat!!
You’re all brilliant!
Well loved rat, here – eat.
Corn pops in cream. You see?
See how I love you?
oops! missed a sylabobble:
Well loved rat, here – eat.
Corn pops in cream. You see now?
