This week’s prompt of a seasonal haiku may have sounded simple, but making it funny was no joke. After narrowing down the funniest entries, the winner was:

I drink my coffee
Leaves fall in the cup
I choke and die
Dumbestblogger chose morbid humor for his entry. Even with so few syllables, he succeeded in making me laugh.
Enjoy the others as well:
Autumn, by Roberta Cheadle
Leaves, leaves everywhere
I’ll persuade hubby to rake
Where’s my lingerie?

Get strangers together,
Talk about the weather…
That never changes..
Special Day, by Matt Snyder
it’s our wedding day
hurricane blows up her dress
our Kodak moment

brand new leaf-blower!
blows leaves into neighbour’s yard
covers my dog’s poop.
Seasonal change, by Hobbo
stunning mother nature
fresh frock every day
have you met my wife?

Days are getting short
Gaia’s tempers getting fraught
We just won’t be taught
The Coming of Autumn, by Trent McDonald
Frost on the leaf tip
Now I am sweating again!
Just make up your mind…

Leaves turn to bright red
I run out to frolic, and…
Oops, now I am red!

Summers coming quick,
You squeal in delight but
mosquitoes bite … hard

Fresh autumn wind blows,
There the honey wagon goes,
No! I hung the clothes!
Fall Picture Woes, by Heather Dawn
Picture perfect day,
No chance for a perfect pose,
Five kids ruin those.
Seasonal Change 1, by Fishman
Picked up a red leaf.
pulled a muscle in my back;
Thanks a lot, Autumn.
Seasonal Change 2, by Fishman
Autumn is here now.
Lovely time; I’d write more, but
sadly I’m out of . . .
Untitled, by BS
One plus one is two
I fall for you in the fall
Now go rake the leaves

All four in a hot teacup
Sip at your own risk

Very clever, Myself and Haiku do not gel, freeform is more my go to. I hope to join in when the form is moer casual, but I enjoyed reading them all,

Ha! I think you need to try other forms. It helps all writing. That, and I may have tried to write you up a contest prompt today….

Honest I really have a block on all the counting consonants malarky … it is maths and you won’t convince me otherwise 🤗😉

Technically, one isn’t supposed to count syllables but is supposed to pay attention to simplicity and flow.

Great pick for the winner, Chelsea, though the one about covering up dog poop by Ian got a good laugh out of me too. 🙂
