Haikus For Autumn

White comedian Michael Ian Black ("Wet Hot American Summer," "Ed," "Michael and Michael Have Issues") tweeted the following haiku about autumn yesterday afternoon:

Because I enjoy the art of haiku nearly as much as I enjoy hearing little kids swear, I booted up my Twitter account earlier this day and fired off a few fall-related micro-poems of my own.

Satisfied with my poetic output, I was hovering my mouse cursor over the "Sign Out" button when another tweet from Mr. Black, this time a retweet from one of his followers, appeared on my screen. 

Before I could finish reading it, however, another autumn-themed poem popped up. 

Followed by another. 

And another.

And another.

From all across the Twitterverse followers of Michael Ian Black were filling my feed with 17-syllable morsels of hilarity. In fact, so clever were these haikus that I thought to myself, "I should pick the best ones and compile a "top-five" list for my web log."

So I did.

Have joy.
