So soft, cute, warm, and cuddly.
Also has a knife.

You know what, I might use that for my avatar.  :2tu:

Nice, I posted this one earlier in some other thread..

Seven syllables middle,
Five up and five down"

Nice, I posted this one earlier in some other thread..

"A Haiku consists:
Seven syllables middle,
Five up and five down"


Great minds think alike, I suppose...  :P

Yes and no  :think: While yours is like a recipe, mine is self referential.

BTW As for playing with words and language, do you like cryptograms also?
I don´t want to start another thread, just interested.

Both are Haikus about Haikus though... Meta-Haiku, if you will...  ;)

I do love what we call "krypto"



Every number represents a letter, and usually there's a clue to start with. This one is a blind "krypto" without any clue, the ones I like the best!  :D

Ah, forgive me my friend, I wasn´t clear about cryptograms. That puzzle you showed is known here as a Brain Breaker. I meant the piilosana puzzle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptic_crossword

Quote
Here is an example (taken from The Guardian crossword of 6 August 2002, set by "Shed").

-15D Very sad unfinished story about rising smoke ( 8 )

is a clue for TRAGICAL. This breaks down as follows.

-15D indicates the location and direction (down) of the solution in the grid
-"Very sad" is the definition
-"unfinished story" gives "tal" ("tale" with one letter missing; i.e., unfinished)
-"rising smoke" gives "ragic" (a "cigar" is a smoke and this is a down clue so "rising" indicates that "cigar" should be written up the page; i.e., backwards)
-"about" means that the letters of "tal" should be put either side of "ragic", giving "tragical"
-"( 8 )" says that the answer is a single word of eight letters.

I would not get this in a million years.
