Birthday wishes in Haiku

galmaegi thought this was worth mentioning said Fri, Jul 8th 2016 at 1:27pm ET

There is nothing better than thoughtful birthday wishes from our community members. We know some of you got a lot to say, but let’s keep it simple this time. No need TL:DR, send us your short and sweet birthday wishes in Haiku form.

The basic rules of Haiku:

“Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme. (5-7-5)”

  There was just one ask:
  Wish Meh a happy birthday
  In a real Haiku
  
  A Haiku has five
  And then seven syllables,
  And then five again.
  
  Let me see if I
  Can figure out what you did
  With your two haikus
  
  You were so close but
  Something went terribly wrong!
  But we can fix it!
  
  Five, six, five at first
  Five, seven, and six came next
  This is not allowed.
  
  But if you maybe
  Adjust the beats a wee bit
  It can work out fine:
  
  “Second birthday Meh
  Better this year than the last
  Mehbee thirds the charm”
  
  “It’s your Mehday, Meh
  May Mediocre mehmries
  Fill up your next year!”

Happy Birthday thoughts
Looking at the addressed card
I forgot to send

Feeling fortunate
wasted time but not money,
Had not stuck the stamp

But perhaps next year
an earlier reminder
to send out the card

But I won’t feel bad
I’m paying for a fuko
So Meh got two gifts

Five of my dollars
And warehouse spaces opened
To bring in more stuff
