I promised to write a 5-liner:


Fully-fledged
mosquito
pays her first visit
to me --
summer vacation!

I LOVE ONE WHO KEEPS HIS PROMISE! :)

and how so beautifully you did it Tikkis...Now, here is mine

with his syringe
he comes humming
injects me,and
leaves, without
taking any fees

He is a nurse...a male mosquito.. :)

wishes,
devika

Ey, Tikkis, your Fiver is a modified Threeliner! And never ever in my little life I will understand why this sanguivorous animals is a female. This must be a ... vision ;-)

five lines
on one stroke --
smiling poet

Best wishes
Ralf

Devika:

Hmmmnn,,, I don't say anything what I'm thinking, - a male mosquito, ;-)


Ralf:

Cramp in the hand --
three lines,
four lines,
five.
Relaxing!

Ps. When studied morse telegraphy our teacher warned us to beware of hand's cramp!

Anyway, right you are!
But if there is very good haiku by Santoka in only two lines,
why not in four, even five lines?

(I know this is not so wise idea?)

Unskilled haiku-poet
wasting five lines --
saying nothing

___
P.s. A bonus:

Señor Mosquito
leaving in the morning --
sleepy morning mist

I don't care about number of lines, but I love verse which make me laugh.

Best wishes
