By: Alvaro Fernandez
Readers have contributed a good number of haikus on brain-related topics. Below you have my  Favorite 7, and many other fun ones…which ones do you like the most?
Also, Can you write a haiku describing anything crossing your mind now? Remember the simple rules: write 3 lines,
which don’t need to rhyme, containing 5,7, and 5 syllables. You can leave your haiku as a comment for extra points…
My Favorite 7 Brain and Mind Haikus
- Techne, the philosopher, wonders:
Solve the big questions:
How do I know when I know?
Who knows the knower?
- Steve, the environmentalist, requests:
Neuroplastic good.
Plastic, though lasts forever.
Always recycle!

Haiku’s are easy
But sometimes they don’t make sense

- Millie, the spiritual, suggests:
Playing music feeds
my soul while reading music
nurtures my old brain.
- Mark,  the optimist, reflects:
I thought I did well
Then I reviewed my answers
I am retard
- jolovli, the boomer, tries again:
improving function
smoked too much weed in college
it’s never too late

I thought so damn Hard.
My brain built lots of pressure.

An infinite mind
Expansive, conscious,knowing
Alert and aware
What was crossing my mind now:
Love, college, career.
A new world of transitions.
Will I survive? Yes.
My release technique,
Forgive, forget, love all,
Meditate on that!
Through the microscope,
slice of brain stains pink and blue,
the wonder of thought.
Haiku to you too
Now is forever,now is
Now is now to you
Cool death match: face off
Wernicke’s area and
Broca’s Region.
My fingers tapping,
I chant out five, seven, five.
Is this new music?

[...] At Sharp Brains, Alvaro presents Brain Haikus as a way to speak about the brain and exercise it at the same time. Inspiring, I think I’ll give it a shot. The Human Mind rules. Learning, imagination, beyond all we know. [...]
body aching now,
yoga isn’t so easy,
good for you they say?
Accountant’s cull.
Farewell to long-time work-mates.
Too real for haiku!
Old women gather
Seeking change is the power/
Thanks to grandmothers
You think yoga’s bad?
Try Aikido my good friend.
Knackers your shoulders.
thank you all…this is fun.
Rain Stormy Boomer
Sewer Backing To My Door
Is Insurance Paid?
My brain is just fried.
I used it too much this week.
I need some Spongebob.
Justin the genieus
Must spell check the word genius
to post this Haiku
writing quick haiku
seems so very difficult
can i pull it off
Seeking brain fitness.
Am I haiku-focusing,
or just distracted?
My mind was thoughtfilled –
Until I started writing.
Now the mind is blank.
thoughts flying around
I pin them down
on paper
all organized now
Sought life’s comfort
Wasted off with regret
now sinking in sweat
The gas burns
The car runs
The ice melts down
