    Oops, I put seven syllables on the last line of the last haiku. Like I said, haven’t done this since high school! 🙂

    LAcrash – I think you may be confusing haiku with iambic pentameter. According to Wikipedia, five or even seven morae are acceptible. With that said, I was deeply moved by your haiku!

    Here's my shot at it:

    Want to live here in SoCal

    But market has closed its doors

    Will wait outside for a bit

    And be patient with my cash

     

    Homeprice graph on its side

    Breast reduction in great need

    Cannot purchase braziere

    Big enough for large melon

     

    If market no open doors

    Within a couple of years

    I will gather my family

    And move to greener pastures (literally)

     

    Breast reduction bad most times

    But in this case very welcome

    Oh please visit Doctor Rey

    And bring back normal prices!

    Very Interesting Thread.
    My Haiku sucks though.

    limericks, anyone?

    There was an investor quite chipper
    who amassed A-R-M’s as a flipper
    The market then crashed
    and his FICO got slashed
    Like a victim of old Jack the Ripper
