Amidst work's embrace,

Friday whispers liberation,

Weekend's sweet freedom.

Clock's ticking softly,

Friday's rhythm gently calls,

Embrace its sweet song.

Louvre's grandeur gleams,

Parisian gem, Mona Lisa,

Art's enigmatic smile.

British Museum,

London's cultural treasure,

Rosetta Stone whispers.

Hump day's silent hum,

Midweek's rhythm, beating drum,

Halfway mark has come.

Hump day, bridge so fair,

Wednesday's breath in morning air,

Halfway to the lair.

Mafia's fierce grip,

Goodfellas rise, fall, and bleed,

Crime's allure corrupts.

Nightmare prowls in fear,

Cape Fear grips, hunter strikes,

Justice fights the dark.

Savor fleeting moments,

Capture life's delicate pulse,

Haiku's heartbeat thrives.

See some of our favorite haiku writing resources.

Beneath her warm gaze,

Love blooms in tender embrace—

Mother's heart's embrace.

Soft whispers of love,

Her touch, a gentle solace—

Mother's hands embrace.

1987's spark,

MTV News emerges,

Youth's voice takes flight.

Presidential trails,

MTV News walks alongside,

Youth's political voice.

Sugarhill Gang flows,

Rapper's Delight sweetly shows,

Hip hop's early prose.

Aerosmith, DMC,

Walk This Way, united spree,

Rock and rap decree.

Nixon's sweat glistens,

JFK's poise commands the stage,

Leadership on display.

Television's lens,

Captures Kennedy's vision,

Nixon's nerves laid bare.

HaikuSnack weaves words,

Daily treats for hungry minds—

Pop culture served in verse.

Music, food, and fun,

Politics to Velveeta—

Haikus spun for all.

Tasty deviled eggs,

Been a thing since ancient times,

More than just mayo.

Travel back to Caesar,

In Ancient Rome they appear,

Feasting on eggs with spices.

Girls who rock, now in spotlight.

Is It Good To You,

On our jog playlist today,

Hev haiku needed.

Heavy D and Boyz,

Formed in Mount Vernon's light,

Hip-hop's fresh delight.

Stuffed crust makes us drool,

An ode to Pizza Hut a must,

Personal pan please!

Kansas, fifty-eight

Carney brothers' pizza dream

Pizza Hut is born.

Sundown on Gordon’s life,

Sundown also his huge hit,

Billboard Top Hundred.

Gordon Lightfoot rests

His voice now a memory

Folk legend's last bow.

No seeds or stems here,

Just Cheech, Chong, blazin’ away,

Still real cool today.

Up in Smoke, they fly,

Hazy laughs reach for the sky,

Stoner humor high.

Debt ceiling born,

In nineteen-seventeen's war,

Limit set by law.

World War II demands,

Ceiling rises, funding flows,

Debt peaks, war's end nears.

Goonies never die,

"Hey you guys!" Chunk shouts, rallying cry,

Electric Company.

Music comes to cable,

“I want my MTV,”

All the kids shouting.

Thom and friends unite,

On a road to find their sound,

"Creep" becomes their anthem song.

"Pablo Honey" drops,

Thom's voice soft and high,

Jonny's guitar noise pops.

School friends form a band,

Rick and Pete start jamming, and

Def Leppard is born.

On Through the Night,

debut album release brings

fans a new delight.
