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 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 below for extra points…)

Top 10 Brainy Haikus — enjoy!

- Amit:

Love, col­lege, career.
A new world of tran­si­tions.
Will I sur­vive? Yes.

- Kathy:

My release tech­nique,
For­give, for­get, love all,
Med­i­tate on that!

Through the micro­scope,
slice of brain stains pink and blue,
the won­der of thought.

Justin the genieus
Must spell check the word genius
to post this Haiku

- Tim:

writ­ing quick haiku
seems so very dif­fi­cult
can i pull it off

- Mer­cury:

Seek­ing brain fit­ness.
Am I haiku-focusing,
or just distracted?

- Kalsang:

My fin­gers tap­ping,
I chant out five, seven, five.
Is this new music?

- LW:

body aching now,
yoga isn’t so easy,
good for you they say?

You think yoga’s bad?
Try Aikido my good friend.
Knack­ers your shoulders.

Rain Stormy Boomer
Sewer Back­ing To My Door
Is Insur­ance Paid?

In case you want to read more, below you have many more haikus con­tributed dur­ing the year:

Solve the big ques­tions:
How do I know when I know?
Who knows the knower?

Always recycle!

But some­times they don’t make sense
Refrigerator

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.

New infor­ma­tion
Syn­the­siz­ing my knowl­edge
A for­ward movement

Painfully easy
Sig­nif­i­cantly harder

a bur­rito with salsa

Like watch­ing the Earth open
One thought at a time

But the tests are much harder,
Need more grey matter

Learn­ing, train­ing, and prac­tice
Body, brain and mind

some­one should find a quick fix
every­one needs to speak

for the brain to endeav­our
sooner than later

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

The sun rose very early
Good­morn­ing to you

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

Seek­ing change is the power/

Expan­sive, con­scious, know­ing
Alert and aware

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.
