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.
