Royal Caribbean Haikus

[SpeedGeek]

Just to pass the time until your next cruise... come up with a few!

 

Monarch of the Seas,

How I miss your casino

And the cash I had...

 

 

How I long to be

Sipping a drink in my room

Better smuggle booze!

 

I took part in Quest...

It was definitely fun,

but where are my pants?

 

Let's see what you can come up with :D

[SamFritz]

Balcony breezes

and the smell of salty air

my New York escape.

[nannybeth]

Food, drink, people, fun

I don't want the week to end

How long 'til next time?

[Paul65]

Here are a few from the collection known as "Hot-button Haikus"

 

How much do I tip

If I skip the dining room?

Was this asked before?

 

 

In the naughty room;

Bags and bottles everywhere -

Crew party tonight!

 

 

Private balcony

I paid for it, didn't I?

I light my cigar.

[SamFritz]

:mad:Dozens of deck chairs

empty except for the towels

chair hogs make me mad.:mad:

[Tropical Traveler]

Signature devoid of a countdown clock

Now that just won't do

Next WOW sale please hurry!

[SpeedGeek]

As we leave the port

To the open sea ahead

Cruising feels so good!

[burritto]

Kids sit on the stairs

One teen gets kneed in the head

Swear it's by mistake

[d4nigirl]

Chair hogs are no fun.

We rush to grab our choice seat.

I want a good spot.

 

Let's spin our napkins.

Hold on tight with fingertips

Sing joyfully loud.

 

 

Great post! I know I will be thinking of others while I long for my next cruise!:)

[SpeedGeek]

Muster drill is done

Go get a drink from the bar

It's sailaway time!

[CruiseDreaming]

These I wrote a number of years ago.

 

Cruise clothes, sunglasses

Such food, fun activities

dreaming of cruising

Monarch of the Seas

Anniversary wishes

Twelve years October

 

Formal dinning room

Dressing in my lovely gown

A night of glamour

 

Under starry skies

Sea spray blowing in my face

Smell the salty air

Twenty-five days til

I cruise Monarch of the Seas

I will start packing

 

Kerrie:)

[CruiseDreaming]

Two Hundred Thirty-five

Count down to the Rhapsody

I am so obsessed

 

Have I planned a cruise

for Two-thousand and Eight, yes

a silly question

This thread is such fun

I am enjoying it so

thank you for the tips

 

Kerrie :)

[CruiseDreaming]

even more...

I write a poem

for each cruise I have been on

but haikus, more fun

My co-workers think

that I am crazy, insane

cruising on the brain

 

My name is Kerrie

and I'm a cruiseaholic

my fun addiction

 

I need my cruise fix

only four weeks left to go

smelling the sunscreen

 

Kerrie:)

[CruiseDreaming]

yet even more...

Tux to dry cleaners

gown will also go as well

get the large suitcase

Starboard, port, aft, bow

See sunset in Miami

At embarkation

I wish I could dance

Like they did in the old days

Big band harmony

Balcony sunrise

Sapphire water surrounds

Days at sea, heaven

 

Kerrie:)

[CruiseDreaming]

Last one until I write more...

Ship towering high

So majestic and lovely

Vision to behold

First glimpse, I am awed

it's truly a work of art

Floating palaces

A different world

My chance to experience

Something elegant

Only two weeks now

My first four night Baja cruise

I need a seven night

In May of next year

on Rhapsody of the Seas

A week of cruising

Kerrie:)

Long walk? Excessive motion?

No problem, no worries mon.

Dreaming aft every wake-ing moment.

Well you learn something new everyday.

 

 

Haiku (俳句, haikai verse?) listen (help·info), plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 moras (or on), in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively.[1] Although haiku are often stated to have 17 syllables,[2] this is inaccurate as syllables and moras are not the same. Haiku typically contain a kigo (seasonal reference), and a kireji (cutting word).[3] In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line and tend to take aspects of the natural world as their subject matter, while haiku in English often appear in three lines to parallel the three phrases of Japanese haiku and may deal with any subject matter.[4] Previously called hokku, haiku was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of the 19th century.

Here are several contributed by DH:

 

Cover up, old man

Your girth should be only a

Need to know basis.

 

 

Tanzanite, all night!

Never heard of this stuff, nor

Such great deals on it!

 

 

Let's get lost again

In facet gleam, big white gem

On the blue blue sea.

[kaylorcc]

The shopping channel

Won't buy a Philip Stein watch--

Still hilarious.

[d4nigirl]

Back to the grindstone

Hate going back to real life

I need one more day

 

Bright orange life vest

Packed in like cows in a barn

No pictures allowed

 

Plane anxiety

Spent so much time with planning

Fear can't stop me now

[SpeedGeek]

Dreaming of the sea

I awake to a phone call

I wish it were real

 

1-9-1 to go

Over half a year to wait

Why is time so slow?

 

Some people ask me

Why sail Monarch of the seas?

I ask them, Why not?

[spirite]

A drink with dinner?

A bottle of wine, maybe?

Corkage will apply.
