Top 25 Brain and Mind Haikus. Yours?

By:

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,haikus brain 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!

- GTB, the skep­tic, says

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

- 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

- Lloyd, the stressed-out, volunteers:

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

Enjoy the many other good ones:

- Terry says:

New infor­ma­tion
Syn­the­siz­ing my knowl­edge
A for­ward movement

- Frank says:

Painfully easy
Sig­nif­i­cantly harder
Men­tal stimulus

- Chuck says:

This was fun, and no,
I don’t intend to haiku.
Thanks for post­ing it

- Sarah says:

find­ing your teasers
added fun to my morn­ing,
helped wake my brain up

- Lor­raine says:

teach­ing math is fun
when you find great resources
sharp brains is the place

- Psalm says

As my mind expands,
it grasps new ideas…oh look
there’s some­thing shiny!!

- anon writes

the noon hour por­tends
a bur­rito with salsa
bright­en­ing my tongue

- Mike says

See I think I see
Here now, not so — really real?
Wounded, mind leaves me

- Lisa

new thoughts acti­vate
frontal lobe work hard, harder
no senility

- Karen

Brain train­ing oth­ers
Like watch­ing the Earth open
One thought at a time

- Bruce

My brain stem works hard,
But the tests are much harder,
Need more grey matter

- Alvaro

Can per­form bet­ter,
Learn­ing, train­ing, and prac­tice
Body, brain and mind

- terri

strokes take speech away
some­one should find a quick fix
every­one needs to speak

- qt

Aha, a chal­lenge
for the brain to endeav­our
sooner than later

- Stacy

Brain hurts so badly
Work­ing night shift: not so fun
Need to get some sleep

- camper­court

It is morn­ing now
The sun rose very early
Good­morn­ing to you

- kestrel

first white is purple

or it was red I think

now haiku, what next?

- Stacey

I thought is was fun.
Then it got a lot harder.
Wow i suck at this.

- anon

oh boy I won­der
will my teeny lit­tle ears
still hear loud thunder

of course it is true
the afore­men­tioned thun­der
came out of the blue

from the blue you say
I think per­haps you are wrong
but it’s still okay

Yours , please?

    […] 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. […]

    Seek­ing brain fit­ness.

    My mind was thought­filled -
    Until I started writ­ing.
    Now the mind is blank.

    The gas burns
    The car runs
    The ice melts down
