Welcome to:

HOT ROD HAIKU




Who says gear-heads aren't a refined, cultured crowd?
Grease Monkeys or poets? You be the Judge!



A Haiku is a poem that takes some thought to write...it has 5 sylables in the first line, 7 in the second line and back to 5 in the last line.

Not as easy as it sounds, though it doesn't have to rhyme.
Think you can do it?
Give it a shot .

Here's some fine examples:


My car is so cool
It makes other people drool
When it runs, that is!

Lisa Mars


I love to revvy
My beautiful CHEVY
I love to revvy

Bryan from: ChopShop Ministires

(HHmmmmm... revvy??)



Oh, burning rubber
My car is engulfed in smoke
Now I need new tires




GODSRODS is the place,
to worship God who made cars,
I think I'm in love.

GODS RODS NUMBER ONE
LEARN ABOUT CARS, GOD AND SON
HAIKU NOW IS DONE

My Little Runner
The Tires Squeal, The Horn Beep Beep
Shift it Hard, Vroom... Fast


Look a Challenger
I will race him down the street
I must try again

I own a V-Dub
It's a Thing Type 181
Forty Horsepower

>Nina Parks




My car is not fast
It is but a 4 banger
But it likes the turns.


I am just a man
Relating to rods and God
Out to win the race.

Joel Krooswyk (spoken of winning the drag and winning the race for God)




God's rods give Him praise
All the glory to His name
Raps the top-fuel flames

Look a Ford Mustang
I beat him with my Chevette
Fords go nowhere fast!

Ouch!




The Mighty Mopars
With Supreme power and torque
Make all others cry

Wasn't that just beautiful?


The Hemi flew by
Chevy parts all through the sky
Chevelle owner cried

Author: Chris Fairfield


Get Mopar, get real!
Please, we all know better than that
Get Chevy Baby!




RED, YELLOW, THEN GREEN
MY FOOT HAMMERS THE PEDAL
DUST THE DUSTER EATS

Mopars are the best
They always make Chevys drool
Fords always need help

So, five sylables.
Then seven more, is that right?
Then another five?

Haiku Poetry
Is kind of weird but maybe
I just don't get it

A collection concerning Dogs

I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than
You will ever be.


Today I sniffed
Many dog behinds -- I celebrate
By kissing your face.


I sound the alarm!
Paper boy -- come to kill us all
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!


I sound the alarm!
Garbage man -- come to kill us all
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!


How do I love thee?
The ways are as numberless as
My hairs on the rug.


My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have
Made a puddle.


I Hate my choke chain
Look, world, they strangle me! Ack!
Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack!


Sleeping here, my chin
On your foot -- no greater bliss -- well,
Maybe catching rats


Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you as much as I do.


The cat is not all
Bad --she fills the litter box
With tootsie rolls.


Dig under the fence--why?
Because it is there. Because it's
There. Because it's there.


I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.
