In  her spare time, Olive has begun writing Haiku poems which she would like to share with the readers of her blog. For those unfamiliar with Haiku, it is a form of Japanese poetry characterized by 17 syllables expressed on three lines: 5/7/5.

Thunder bursts through air/lighting bolts zap the groundhogs/i smell air biscuits

Endless holes of dirt/soil fairies scream with delight/chocolate milk sings

Carpenter bees scream/the sky runs away from them/it smells like honey

Oatmeal raisin birds/the squirrel stank up my pen/I think I have gas

Hawks fly above me/the sunlight hurts my light eyes/I wish I had thumbs

I see old plump elves/the reindeers look quite hungry/there’s nowhere to hide

Humans are quite odd/why don’t they poop in the yard/this isn’t so hard

I think I’m dreaming/acres of fields call my name/everything is green

It is coming soon/pheasants playing outside/think I have an itch

Birds dangle from the red sky/chocolate eggs scream for help/there goes a fat cat

Oh stinkbug, stinkbug/brown shields advance upon us/carpet meets vacuum

I dream of lost tails/blue feathers drift over land/could I be the rocketeer?

Two little pigs fly/bacon raindrops melt straw homes/the big bad wolf cries
