The results of a recent "Brain and Mind Haikus" contest are in. Below you have my Favorite 10 Haikus on brain-related topics, plus many other fun ones for a total of 25...

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.

My Favorite 10 Brain and Mind Haikus:

1) GTB, the skeptic, says

Haikus are easy/ But sometimes they don't make sense/ Refrigerator

2) Techne, the philosopher, wonders:

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

3) Millie, the spiritual, suggests:

Playing music feeds/ my soul while reading music/ nurtures my old brain.

4) jolovli, the boomer, tries again:

improving function/ smoked too much weed in college/ it's never too late

5) Mark shares his experience with brain teasers:

I thought I did well/ Then I reviewed my answers/ I am retard

6) Steve, the environmentalist, requests:

Neuroplastic good./ Plastic, though lasts forever./ Always recycle!

7) Lloyd, the stressed-out, volunteers:

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

8) anon, always the down-to-earth, shares

the noon hour portends/ a burrito with salsa/ brightening my tongue

9) Chuck, Mr. No, says:

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

10) Psalm sees the light:

As my mind expands,/ it grasps new ideas...oh look/ there's something shiny!!

Enjoy the many other good ones:

- Terry says:

New information/ Synthesizing my knowledge/ A forward movement

- Frank says:

Painfully easy/ Significantly harder/ Mental stimulus

- 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

- 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.

Yours , please?
