My Favorite 10 Brain and Mind Haikus
- GTB, the skeptic, says
Haikus are easy/ But sometimes they don't make sense/ Refrigerator
- Techne, the philosopher, wonders:
Solve the big questions:/ How do I know when I know?/ Who knows the knower?
- Millie, the spiritual, suggests:
Playing music feeds/ my soul while reading music/ nurtures my old brain.
- jolovli, the boomer, tries again:
improving function/ smoked too much weed in college/ it's never too late
- Mark shares his experience with our teasers:
I thought I did well/ Then I reviewed my answers/ I am retard
- Steve, the environmentalist, requests:
Neuroplastic good./ Plastic, though lasts forever./ Always recycle!
- Lloyd, the stressed-out, volunteers:
I thought so damn Hard./ My brain built lots of pressure./ I farted out loud.
- anon, always the down-to-earth, shares
the noon hour portends/ a burrito with salsa/ brightening my tongue
- Chuck, Mr. No, says:
This was fun, and no,/ I don't intend to haiku./ Thanks for posting it
- Psalm sees the light:
As my mind expands,/ it grasps new ideas...oh look/ there's something shiny!!

New information/ Synthesizing my knowledge/ A forward movement

Painfully easy/ Significantly harder/ Mental stimulus

finding your teasers/ added fun to my morning,/ helped wake my brain up

Brain training others/ Like watching the Earth open/ One thought at a time
- Bruce
My brain stem works hard,/ But the tests are much harder,/ Need more grey matter

Can perform better,/ Learning, training, and practice/ Body, brain and mind
- terri
strokes take speech away/ someone should find a quick fix/ everyone needs to speak
- qt
Aha, a challenge/ for the brain to endeavour/ sooner than later
- Stacy
Brain hurts so badly/ Working night shift: not so fun/ Need to get some sleep
- campercourt
It is morning now/ The sun rose very early/ Goodmorning to you
- kestrel
first white is purple/ or it was red I think/ now haiku, what next?
