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.

- Mark, the opti­mist, reflects:

I thought I did well

Then I reviewed my answers

I am retard

- 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:

New infor­ma­tion

A for­ward move­ment

Painful­ly easy

Sig­nif­i­cant­ly hard­er

will my tee­ny lit­tle ears

still hear loud thun­der of course it is true

the afore­men­tioned thun­der

I think per­haps you are wrong

but it’s still okay

Yours , please?
