Haiku

I wonder, when this thread meets the maximum posts (how many posts is that again?), if the new one ought to be named Haiku and Senryu. Maybe even add Tanka.

Counted syllables,
sans kigo and kireji,
annoys the annoying!
 
a kill bill haiku?
and why not... that's quite a scene
to end a slaughter
 
The work is over
When it wants to be over.
No matter how long.
 
Terminatoresque;
Nothing works, not blade nor fist.
Nail in a post? Sure.
 
Russian literature:
Long nights, slow springs, red blood spilled
Alas the wheat! Black wheat!
 
Russians. Many names.
Father's? Mother's? -kov? -vich? -ski?
Lotta syllables.
 
birch trees whipping by...
steel on steel in six eight time
and red caviar
 
Weird architecture.
Don't understand onion domes:
Not gothic enough.
 
we drank cheap champagne
and added pure ethanol
filtered from the lab
 
Lofty goals, yes, but
How to extract ethanol
From such a cute dog?
 
New school-bus culture.
Will they run at all, or not?
Another thing, lost.
 
Lazy, sighing days.
Traffic oozes on the road.
Backyard is silent.
 
The thick smell of dust.
Oncoming summer rainstorms
Smell like that, to me.
