Haiku Examples

Here are some examples of Haiku about my Troubleshooters books, written by my talented husband Ed:

Sam & Alyssa:
Just two little words,
And things could get very tense.
"Chocolate, anyone?"

Sam & Alyssa II:
At last, she's ready
Then Sam gets very bad news.
Suz, you're killing us.

Tom & Kelly:
Tom asks and he asks
Then he asks some more, again.
"Not yet," says Kelly.

Stan & Teri:
You know it's wrong, Stan.
So fight your love for Teri.
Uh oh. She's naked.

Kenny & Van:
Oh f*ck. I'm so screwed.
She lied to me, and used me.
And I still love her.

Nils & Meg:
They've called the SWAT Team.
They think I'm a terrorist.
So I'll sing in Welsh.

Here's one of my all time favorite Haikus about Thanksgiving, written by my friend Brice:

I eat the turkey.
The turkey does not eat me.
Karma frightens me.

Last but not least, here's the winning entry from my 2003 Haiku Contest, written by (now!) bestselling author Jessica Andersen:

Keys tap. Sirens wail.
Did my critiquer call the
P.O.V. police?

(Nice, huh?)
