Thank you to everyone who has written so many fun haikus over the summer (following the post Top 25 Brain and Mind Haikus. Yours?). These are the 10 I have enjoyed the haikus brainmost:

(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 below for extra points...)

    Dinner devoured
    And osso buco consumed
    Yet flavours linger

    this isn't a haiku but its funny

    There was a young lady whose eyes,
    were unique in color and size,
    when she opened them wide,
    people all turned aside,
    and started away in suprise

    Brains need sleep to work
    Otherwise they fizzle out
    Go to bed early

    One's five-finger exercises
    Before symphonies.

    Reading haiku is

    like potato chips

    Can't stop at just one.

    With their lines this way and that.

    Winter Remedy

    Blustery, dark,
    cold.
    Log in fireplace,
    soup on stove,
    Book, cat, laptop.
    Yep!

    Strange Logic:

    I know one plus one,
    since one can't live forever,
    one must become two.
