People! Settle Down! It's Haiku Friday at the Razor!
Sheesh, a guy doesn't post for 12 hours and you guys decide to have Haiku Friday without me? What's with that? Anyways, I do appreciate the effort. Here, for those who don't read the comments, are 10 possible topics for haiku this week as suggested by IPLawGuy, Medievalist, and some other people (though you are free to do what you want with any subject, so long as it is in the form of 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables):
1. Sentencing guidelines for crickets
2. Lost luggage--especially laptops
3. Votes of confidence for Wormtongue
4. Fort Wayne sports teams
5. Exams I should have never taken
6. Seeing the Great Salt Lake for the first time
7. When it thunders
8. Bald Brittany
9. Absent Minded Professors
10. Embarrasing moments with lost property
Here is mine:
Oh, my dear lost friend!
You always loved heating
Up my lap... come home!

Moved from last thread for proper placement.
Drink to a lost friend
Please make mine a grasshopper
Just shaken, not stirred
My memory lapsed
A bitstream of consciousness
is lost like luggage
Deep in my mind’s eye
A fog blurs the location
Concealing my keys

That grad-school paper:
Literary Theory, aargh;
Jargon made me tank.
-------------
Absent-minded? Me,
Leaving my laptop beside
My leg, stolen out
From under me, while
I emailed on desktop at
Internet cafe!
Does that make sense?
------------
Teachers and crickets,
Or, at our school, tadpoles brought
For kindergarten
To watch them grow to
Frogs. Didn't live through weekend,
What sentence for us?

Swanburg-- Isn't that 7? I suppose it would be 6 if "loved" was only one syllable-- is that our point of difference?
That is in fact our point of difference. While dictionary.com tells me I'm right, the gimlet eye of the Hamburglar tells me it's not a battle worth fighting.
Here's my earlier efforts:

First College Exam
World History Midterm, Whoa!
Only one Question?
Intro Accounting
8 AM Class, rarely went
Gift grade of a D
Crickets chirp and jump
Punishment is swift, severe
Eaten by the Cat

Dancing on the rise

No more Carries left?
Taylor Hicks, who cares?
Kelly, Carrie, Jennifer
Daughtry, Fantasia
They rock, but others?
Clay only one hit wonder
Ruben does weight loss

Well, Swanburg, it could be pronounced "lov-ed," as in "beloved," sort of the poetic way of pronouncing it. It seems to work well in the professor's haiku . . . it caught your attention, right?

I love you, Winnie
the Pooh. You mesmerize my
quite rambunctious child.
Your movies are about
seventy minutes long and
I can wash dishes.
What a life you lead,
Mr. Pooh. Look for honey
play with pals, and nap.
Kind of like Spencer
except he is obsessed with
popsicles. yum yum.
In our real house we
could hide them well. Here we have
freezer with drawer.
No brainer, the drawer.
It opens and there they are -
frozen cherry bliss.
Bill gone today. UGH.
I could take Spence to the park.
Lose shoes on playground,
pick up gross bugs and
show me, make me push him on
swing for like three hours.
Again Mommy!!!! Again
Again Again Mommy, PLEEEEEAAAASE?!?

Empty vessel rests
Sacrificial bonfire burns

We Hardly knew you
Before your final shakedown
'Bye arthropod friend

Oh toes, golden globes
of love, when they're in my mouth,
I can taste heaven.
Iplawwife realizes that "toes" were not on the topic list, but Iplawbaby expressed such passion about them that I let it go.

Regarding pictures of the Viking funeral for the cricket..I am afraid I cannot provide and photos of the event. First of all the service was closed off to the media because we did not want a circus like atmosphere during such a time of grief. Also we sold the exclusive rights to coverage of the funeral to Inside Edition.

Tyd, Columbus, a great Spaniard and Medievalist in his own right, discovered the internet along with Al Gore. My haikus were for all my wonderful friends in Waco that I'm leaving behind for the next 11 weeks. I wouldn't even THINK of leaving the Razor for three months. I find reading the Razor to be ... SOOTHING. And a Friday without a haiku is, well, an empty existence with no meaning and no reason to go on. Virtually I am with you.
Browsing grocery store,
I found an open switchblade.
Donut, was it yours?
Embarassing lost property because when I notified the management...
Me (careful to not touch it): "You may want to bag that, it could have prints"
Three congregating deli department guys: "Dibs!"

Spanish guy: No Prob, Bob! So glad you are only leaving physically.
Ginger: Nah Donut does not carry a switchblade. He hasn't been into knives since '82.
I am pretty sure he is packing and carries a .38 with no concealed weapons permit. ALso he has two sets of brass knuckles in the trunk of his Mattel Power Wheels Jeep.
