Pipe Haiku

mfresa

The joy of making
That form which holds tobacco
Brings much happiness

Woodsman

Better and  better.

@Woodsman, you know who the haiku guru here is, don't you?  It's the badgerpiper.  He is awesome on haiku.

I like that one @mfresa , I could see that being on a plaque above a pipe makers bench as a poetic mission statement.

Here's a short one for the holidays. Nothing artsy, but I think it's fitting.

Frosty and Santa
Smoke their pipes at the North Pole
Puffing Christmas cheer.

mfresa

@thebadgerpiper, Excellent!!  You have a gift for haiku, sir!

mfresa

Thoughts of well being
The smoke rises in the wind
Like prayers to God

thebadgerpiper

@mfresa I must've missed that haiku during the holiday rush. Very nice, and fits with the New Year.

Here's a haiku for the brutal weather we've been having.

Wind chills to the bone,
An arctic blast bellows south,
Numbing nerves and skin.

Oh dear briar pipe,
How I wish to fill your bowl,
But it's too darn cold.

mfresa

@badgerpiper, that is AWESOME

motie2

@thebadgerpiper -- Bravo, Maestro!

thebadgerpiper

Rejoice and be glad.
Winter's spell has been broken.
Begone bitter chill.

Welcome Spring and sun.
The porch is open once more.
For outside piping.

A.D.H.D. Sucks!
I like to smoke a pipe when...
Hey look, a spider!

@OlePops -- Excellent!!!! Thanks for refreshing the discussion!!! That was great.... and funny, too!!!!

motie2

Hope It doesn't offend anyone. It's a topic Ole'Pops has dealt with all my life...wanna ride bikes? 

OlePops

@motie2 , @thebadgerpiper - THAT'S AWESOME... and some stuff!  Very cool! Makes me want to dig out my old Czech tool.

@OlePops Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Always happy to see others coming up with more pipe haikus for the site.

@thebadgerpiper

Is this yours, Sir?

The spring is quite warm.
I smoke my pipe with good friends,
And I feel at peace

Sutliff one thousand
Missouri Meerschaum packed tamped
now where’s the matches?

Texsqatch13

Churchwarden tamped lit
book and brew within my reach
overwhelming peace

It has been too long

The tobacco sits and waits

I long for a smoke

motie2

Good man!

mfresa

Winter descends here

Smoking in my overcoat

Good to be alive

Thanks @motie2 I’ve really enjoyed all of your insights and info. I’ve stumbled  across in my short time on TPL.
Always a fan of haiku and feel that it is very appropriate to enjoying a pipe, especially while outdoors.

Sherlock Holmes was right
Three pipes can provide insight
Though will leave a scent

thebadgerpiper

Glad to see this thread pop back up.

Where did autumn go?
Chased off by a strong north wind.
Still, I smoke my pipe.

Texsqatch13

Words like so much smoke
sweet to taste ensnaring time
an hour is consumed

motie2

You guys are awesome!!!!

thebadgerpiper

An old codger blend,
Brings back nostalgic mem'rys,
Of great men long missed.

mfresa

I think @thebadgerpiper has great haiku talent, but we all have some...

Sit alone at rest,
A warm-bowled pipe in your hand.
A feeling of peace.
