#15. Top fun and brainy Haikus. Yours?

July 26, 2008 by SharpBrains

haikus brainRead­ers have con­tributed a good num­ber of haikus on brain-relat­ed top­ics. Below you have our favorite ones.

Our favorite fun and brainy Haikus

- Techne, the philoso­pher, wonders:

Solve the big questions:
How do I know when I know?
Who knows the knower?

- Steve, the envi­ron­men­tal­ist, requests:

Neu­ro­plas­tic good.
Plas­tic, though lasts forever.
Always recycle!

- GTB, the skep­tic, says

Haiku’s are easy
But some­times they don’t make sense
Refrigerator

- Mil­lie, the spir­i­tu­al, suggests:

Play­ing music feeds
my soul while read­ing music
nur­tures my old brain.

- jolovli, the boomer, tries again:

improv­ing function
smoked too much weed in college
it’s nev­er too late

- Lloyd, the stressed-out, volunteers:

I thought so damn Hard.
My brain built lots of pressure.
I fart­ed out loud.

Enjoy many oth­er good ones:

- Ter­ry says:

New infor­ma­tion
Syn­the­siz­ing my knowledge
A for­ward movement

- Frank says:

Painful­ly easy
Sig­nif­i­cant­ly harder
Men­tal stimulus

- Chuck says:

This was fun, and no,
I don’t intend to haiku.
Thanks for post­ing it

- Sarah says:

find­ing your teasers
added fun to my morning,
helped wake my brain up

- Lor­raine says:

teach­ing math is fun
when you find great resources
sharp brains is the place

- Psalm says

As my mind expands,
it grasps new ideas…oh look
there’s some­thing shiny!!

- anon writes

the noon hour portends
a bur­ri­to with salsa
bright­en­ing my tongue

- Mike says

See I think I see
Here now, not so — real­ly real?
Wound­ed, mind leaves me

- Lisa

new thoughts activate
frontal lobe work hard, harder
no senility

- Karen

Brain train­ing others
Like watch­ing the Earth open
One thought at a time

- Bruce

My brain stem works hard,
But the tests are much harder,
Need more grey matter

- Alvaro

Can per­form better,
Learn­ing, train­ing, and practice
Body, brain and mind

- ter­ri

strokes take speech away
some­one should find a quick fix
every­one needs to speak

- qt

Aha, a challenge
for the brain to endeavour
soon­er than later

- Sta­cy

Brain hurts so badly
Work­ing night shift: not so fun
Need to get some sleep

- camper­court

It is morn­ing now
The sun rose very early
Good­morn­ing to you

- kestrel

first white is purple

or it was red I think

now haiku, what next?

- Stacey

I thought is was fun.
Then it got a lot harder.
Wow i suck at this.

- anon

oh boy I wonder
will my tee­ny lit­tle ears
still hear loud thunder

of course it is true
the afore­men­tioned thunder
came out of the blue

from the blue you say
I think per­haps you are wrong
but it’s still okay

Yours , please?
