Blocks morning sun while he grabs
the curb-thrown news

Bike Commuter Haiku or
Write a haiku based on your daily commute.
(try to keep it positive, or at least funny).
2010-10-13 23:41:27
Flying down the hills
Hey, they filled in that pothole!
Time for the rest now?
2010-10-14 00:13:28
Rub eyes and stop clock.
Sun's not up yet, why am I?
Pedal slow at first.
2010-10-14 01:42:13
where is doctor sprite?
she has been writing haikus
ev'ry day this week.
2010-10-14 01:50:38
riding down walnut -
garbage truck blocking all cars
laughed as i squeezed past!
2010-10-14 01:54:14
So, how does it feel?
To pass me, and then get stopped
At that red light there.
2010-10-14 02:04:15
suburbia sleeps
I serenade them, zoom zoom!
geese are mean critics
2010-10-14 02:05:07
Set out while still dark
Lit up like a Christmas Tree
Watch sunrise from bridge
2010-10-14 02:07:25
Leave work around 4
Avoid most of rush hour
Can't avoid short bus.
2010-10-14 02:09:07
Ominous rubbing
Squeaking, Clicking, My bike asks
For what I know not.
2010-10-14 02:20:04
Crawling up the hill
Smile at biker coming down
Really think, "asshole"
2010-10-14 02:26:45
ross street, northbound, i
refuse to be doored by cops.
donuts precede me.
2010-10-14 02:49:34
My bike is Mocking
The Rain falls wet and Chilly
Come and Play with Me
2010-10-14 13:06:29
dressed for rain, wind, cold,
but it's not, so I'm basting
riding, wet, happy.
2010-10-14 13:11:46
Sick, I drive to work,
Coughing up foul lung butter.
My bike sits forlorn.
2010-10-14 13:48:15
up and down the hills
see good and bad of Pittsburgh
view is the reward
2010-10-14 14:05:28
O, Hot Metal Bridge!
Hard to say which I love more
Your name, or your view
2010-10-14 14:38:38
Bike on the bus rack
Snoozing soundly while I move
Busway speeds me along
2010-10-14 19:26:25
I have learned to brave
the scary West End Circle.
Yay two-wheeled commute!
2010-10-14 20:51:08
Neoprene socks - ON!
Gearing up for wet ride home.
But, how to remove?
2010-10-14 20:55:02
elevation loss
to begin my ride to work
reverse that later
2010-10-14 21:21:02
headwind in morning
inexplicably same
afternoon, what the.....
2010-10-14 21:23:05
Chilly day today.
My legs hurt as I pedal.
Squeaky, need some oil.
2010-10-14 23:15:47
1.
Frogs sploosh in the puddle
I pass as I ride the trail
Biking noiselessly
2.
Will I meet a skunk?
It's dark as I bike along
I cannot see what's there
3.
I look like a geek
Orange vest, blinkies, and big light
Safety trumps fashion
4.
Staircase in front of me
I haul the bike up the steps
Cars can't hit me here
5.
Puffing, out of breath
FedEx hill will kill me yet
Wish I had third ring
2010-10-15 01:54:50
Happy Birthday to me
My Bike is Done, Tools are New
Time For me to RIDE
2010-10-15 03:47:57
Riding into work
I make haiku the whole time
I am such a nerd.
2010-10-15 19:09:25
ha!
me, too.
2010-10-16 15:14:18
I don't have my bike today but I have a commute haiku anyway. 
This man's sprawling bags
Prove T driver just hates bikes.
"Keep aisles clear" my foot.
2010-10-18 13:35:20
driving car to megastore
wish I was on my bike
yippee for trial completion
2010-10-20 18:40:35
don't commute the GAP
trees, river, trains, flat clear trails,
must. play. hookey.
2010-10-20 20:10:00
I take the bus home.
The stop is right near my school.
I ride fifty feet.
2010-10-20 23:03:20
Fall biking road cruft:
Ginkgo balls amongst leaf muck
Slippy stinky mess
2011-10-15 12:24:37
Driver cuts me off
"I will kill you in your sleep"
I say to myself
2011-10-15 17:55:31
Margaret Morrison
At the bottom of Forbes hill
Light is never green
2011-10-15 18:01:04

2011-10-19 19:14:15
My spaghetti legs
won't get me to the hill top.
Where is that damn bus?
2011-10-19 20:09:09
I'm the greatest cyclist in the world

^ sorry its my first haiku
2011-10-19 22:17:25
Five syllables, then
seven, then five, makes a fine
chunk o' poetry.
2011-10-19 22:18:48
At first I was think "I'm so clever". Haiku fail
2011-10-19 22:29:27
Just because your poem was funny doesn't mean that its haiku.
Back to the drawing board, you!
@reddan that's a great tutorial there!
2011-10-19 22:58:44
haiku writing is
great distraction from pizza.
syllables, not pie!
2011-10-20 01:52:37
The various transit geeks around the country are posting haiku on Twitter right now with the hashtag #transpohaiku. I posted my first entry, above, as one contribution.
