As our esteemed winner of last week's Haiku Monday, Pam in OKC will be judging this here contest and offering up a prize. I'm hosting. Here's how it works:
1. Post your haiku(s) on the theme here, in the comments section, on or before midnight PST, this Monday, May 30th.
2. If you'd like, post your haiku, along with visuals, at your own blog and let us know that you're up. Pam is considering visuals in her judging.
2. Check in with Pam, who will post her winning haiku and prize sometimes on Tuesday, May 31st.
Simple. But a not so simple topic. So give it a good think, thank, thunk, and hit us with your best shots quick as a wink and before your creativity goes to the dogs.

about the blonde in the bar?
Joke’s on you; you bought.

Thanks for hosting, Moi, and judging, Pam.
I'm up w/ visuals.
Lines meet dots — just not
Inside the box. Folks recall
Clichés, not sources.
Grrherhahaha on the Blonde Cliche Joke Haiku. Mine is:
Tres Cliche Haiku
It's a bromide, but...
Big Brother IS watching you.
For the greater good.
Will have to check out Czar's. Cause I ain't getting it sans visuals. His usually be good.
I'm up with visuals.
Cracked heart on my sleeve.
You could save me, but withhold.
Like "Little Foxes."
Hi Moi.
I'm up at "The Palais"
With pictures again...
Only one tis week,,,,
High heeled and lipsticked
Can I be such a cliche?
You betcha Dhaaarling...
Thanks, Sir Troll, for the vote of confidence. The cliché is "thinking outside the box," and the image is the puzzle that provides the phrase's etymology.
Czar: All the ways in which Czar's haiku this week is NOT like Coltrane: 1. I don't understand it, but I do like it.
Troll: Perfection of Orwellian proportions.
Fleur: I'm just tickled pink that I get this . . .
Princess: You go with your bad self.
Czar: I still hear crickets (but, thankfully, not arty dissonance of clarinetic proportions). Still, I like this haiku.
Off topic: Jimmy Choo sold out. Loubou could be next.
The fat lady sings
Our red, white and blue high notes
While patriots weep
Our 'balancing act'?
We weigh our bad paper now
not golden eagles
If I am lying
I am dying to see you
standing tall again
It's a crying shame
these legislators blame game
forfeit our good name
I'm up with visuals :-)
Excellent! that's a great visual and even better haiku. One of your best.
Oooh, all of these are great. I'll be making the rounds today. Don't think I will throw a haiku out there since I am judging. And Kymster better pony up and post one since it is *her* theme idea!
I'm up with visuals.

grandma used to say,
you've made your bed, lay in it.

China shops tremble
Grasp the horns, order now!

Mark my words: It gets
my goat when kids talk that way
twenty-four seven.
HARD TO SWALLOW
Egg on your face, mate?
You got your just desserts. Piece
of cake? Humble pie!
THE DIFFERENCE A SYLLABLE MAKES
April Showers bring
May flow: Old Man River heaves.
Open the flood gates!
