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!!
