Heavenly bacon


Smell wafting from the kitchen


A slice is taken

Rising of the sun


Spade goes for a morning run


Early springtime fun

I have to try that impossible one.

They say "Disobey!"
​

They say "Stay! Decay! Betray!"
​

Nay - today, they pay.
​

Kinda cheated with the qotation marks there. Hopefully it still counts.

@AThiefOfSpades


Awesome! Man, I could do with some bacon myself.


@IctoraPost


Don't worry, it counts! Congrats on achieving the impossible, haha.

Bored. At a party.


Hiding out. A noisy crowd.


Waiting for bedtime.

Moved to Creativity.


These are haikus, see?


I really do think you should copy this thread over to the Creativity section. This is pretty nice, and I think it'll get more traction there.

@IctoraPost


Ah, I think you're right ^^" Should I just post it over there and delete this one then? Then you guys could repost the haiku's you've already done, if you want?


( Also, challenge completed on Tri Rhyme Time haha )


@AThiefOfSpades


Moving the thread as suggested ^^
