Sooo should we just post the haikus itself here? Or should a seperate topic be made for that? (with an explanation of what to write in the poem)

| I feel kinda like we've got dueling thread topics here, so, unless corporate says differently (I'm looking at you Elyse) we can leave this thread for haiku's and the like, and the other thread for pure voting. I'll take fault for this because my idiotic nature caused me to start my thread in the non-office section when this is clearly an office-related issue. |

That sounds fine to me AzJeans 
And Quessadilla go for it, that's totally fine to re-use haikus if they're applicable! |

Great...can a mod PLEASE change the title of this topic to "Throwback Thursday Haikus"? I will make a new post within the topic each week, reminding everyone of what episode we are now covering.
---------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS: Create an orginal Haiku Poem about The Office episode, The Client. Haikus follow this formula:
1st line: 5 syllables
2nd line: 7 syllables
3rd line: 5 syllables
You may submit as many poems as you'd like! Both 3-line haikus and multiple of 3 lines are acceptable (ie. 5-7-5 5-7-5 5-7-5). Do not worry about being particularly witty, interesting or unusual...just GO for it!

Is it too late to submit a Haiku?
I wrote this one in the Haiku forum:
Meeting at Chili's
Surprising Jan, Michael pulls through
Awesome Blossom sale
I took a scan for other haikus related to this episode and couln't find much specifically about it. (Obviously I would have given the orignal authors credit).
You know what part kills me? When Christian said that Awesome Blossom almost came out of his nose.

I don't seem to have an "ear" for creating haiku, but I sure enjoy reading them... especially the clever, "Office-centric" ones. If this is your first, don't make it your last! |

Is it too late to submit my haikus here?
The first is a two-parter:
Benjamin Franklin
He made electricity
And made bifocals
Came over on the
Mayflower. Bow-Chicka-Bow.
One Sexy President
-------------------------------
The next is a three parter:
The same Foreman Grill.
Got all the foot off of it.
It’s still pretty gross.
So Michael offers,
“Who wants some man meat?
It’s deliciosity.”
Dwight wants some man meat.
Stanley tries but breaks his fork
Creed just dives right in
QUESTION: Will there ever be a limerick contest?

Great haikus, Quessadilla & Officegeek!
And Q, I love the idea for a limerick contest...I can imagine some amazing Office limericks. Let's do that for a few weeks in the summer.
In the meantime, post your Haiku entries for next week's Throwback Thursday in this forum, so all the haikus will be in this one. These should be based on the previous Throwback Thursday, Ben Franklin. Deadline: 11:59 PM on Tuesday, June 5. |

I'm confused, should our haikus be based on Ben Franklin? And whats a Limerick?

A limerick is a 5 line poem where the first, second, and fifth line have the same number of syllables and the thrid and fourth line have the same number of syllables. It's usually easier than a haiku (at least, I think so)
Example:
Angela loves her cats
Dwight can get rid of bats
They are an animal savvy pair
Love for each other is what they share
And they both have great hats

For next week, cuz I'm sure Office Olympics will win.
Flonkerton is a
sport native to Iceland that
can be difficult.
Luckily there is a
deligate, which is Pam, to
help us understand.
Not only is she
bored, but Jim's need for fun means
a lot to her too.
The "olympic" flame
smells like cookies, blue is broze,
and gold is also,
we use the honer
system. Release the paper
doves, because I'm done.

For a second there a thought I read "Cuz I'm I will win" and I thought "Gee that's cocky!" Then I realised my misread.  But, now that I have read it, I definitely think you will win. You deserve a gold medal...I mean yogurt lid and paper clips.

| Hey everyone, I lost track of this thread, and I apologize--totally my bad!! Plus I'm off a week...I didn't see any haikus for Booze Cruise, so please post your haikus for booze cruise (or limericks) Next week when I write a post about haikus, I'll give everyone the limerick guidelines and offer that as an option too. Thanks for your patience!! |
