Help! Thanks to this post
I now spend my waking life
Thinking in haikus.

| Some old haikus | Aug 27, 2013 |
We bridge the gorges
that divided humankind
since Babel Tower
Pain behind my eyes.
Get no rest, must keep typing,
deadline tomorrow.
“I love you” she wrote
I answered back “te amo”...
and got four KudoZ!
The last grain of sand
in my hourglass has fallen.
The fight is over.
So sad our story:
A lifelong war to achieve
so little glory!

Nice degrees you have
Impressive experience
Keep the formatting
Enrique, yours are superb. Especially the one about the four point is hilarious. Reminds me of that situation when I was talking to a young guy. He said, 'I said, "I love you," she replied, "me too."' I told him, 'so you both love her.' That's always a start!

Taxes are rising.
I no longer remember.
My cat’s on my keyboard.
Monday morning now,
it is way past my deadline.
Rain pours down the roof
My head is heavy.
They have just sent more copy.
I only want sleep
Source text is chaos.
Since they never will pay me,
I'll just write for joy.

August is fading
and I was not paid
for jobs done in May

Wife and kids upset
always busy you dad
Late payers should be overlooked
No time for wife go shopping
No time for kids go playing
should minimize sleeping hours!

What apostrophe?
(It has a no link to translation, although it has one to general linguistics) I thought it was funny nonetheless.
I shall use this in my language classes! Along with Let's eat Grandma!
Something which could come from some of my students:
I teach grammar two.
Too teacher students.
No, more than to!

This thread has made my morning, so much so that I had to try a haiku of my own (my first ever), hope I follow the rules...
Tales of a labour
with consideration none,
satisfaction? some.
And this is very funny - thank you Ty!

A sophomoric pun
Just one typo away
I am sorely tempted

I do cook my words
Inside a pot with a pun
I am translator

This one's gonna be personal, so take it cum grano salis.
Native you are not
I don't need no reference
My L1 trumps you
And another slightly personal one:
Sunday afternoon
No calls, respectful silence—
You can teach them too
