    I slept like a cat
    With nine lives ahead of me,
    Who am I today?

    Who am I today?
    No one I have been before
    Or will be again.

    Here and now in time and space,
    Carpe the diem.

    Carpe the diem
    Sounds kind of fishy to me
    But what do I know?

    But what do I know?
    Danger hides in the forest,
    Brown bears and wild boars.

    brown bears and wild boars
    go snuffling in the thicket,
    searching for the springtime

    Searching for the springtime
    Is hardly the only thing
    Bears do in the woods.

    Many things I would like to
    But I won't eat grubs.

    (I thought to myself, "Of course my very first post on this site will start with "But I won't eat grubs." Due to both my recent interest in Haiku, and ever-impeccable timing. Ha.)

    But I won't eat Grubs,
    Say Hakuna Matata
    While In the badlands.

    Although I enjoy your Haiku, each person is meant to start their Haiku, using the last line of the last one posted in this thread. (Person before you.) Just thought I'd let you know :) You can read it on the first page.

    While in the badlands,
    Be sure to try the cheese fries
    Wash them down with Sprite.

    My eyes lost her hat,
    A red beacon in the crowd,
    Where do I belong?

    The world lives in me.

    The world lives in me,
    Emotion and intellect,
    For a brief lifespan.

    For a brief lifespan
    Which may seem to last forever,
    And still there is time.

    to smoke out the crime

    To smoke out the crime
    Is but secondary to
    Making all things right.

    Making things all right
    Precludes making things all left
    Let's have some balance.
