Disney Haiku — Follow-Up

Hi everyone!  You may recall that a few weeks ago, we invited you to come up with Disney haiku.  A few of you posted some great little poems in the comments (thank you!), but there were many, many more posted to Twitter that you might have missed.  With that in mind, I thought I’d share a few of the better ones that I saw that day.  Read on after the jump!

Let’s get started with a few of what I would characterize as wistful or sentimental haiku:

feet up, drink in hand
sitting on the balcony.
watch the boats go by. #wdwhaiku

I wish I were at
Walt Disney World today; and
every day really.#wdwhaiku

How about food themed haiku?  Food and drink are a big part of the Disney experience, and yes, there was plenty of food-themed haiku:

Skillet of my life
Meat sweats: The struggle is real.
Ask for more ketchup.#wdwhaiku

The attractions got some love (or at least some commentary), too…

Splendid Everest
frozen in my memory
like Yeti within.#wdwhaiku

Tower of Terror / eerie ghosts fall endlessly / my heart in my throat #wdwhaiku

For @dizwire: a #wdwhaiku

Millions have ridden.
But there's still room for one more?
Some damn picky ghosts.

A few snapshots of moments we’ve all experienced:

Dole Whip before ride?
Better eat this really fast
BRAIN FREEZE OW OW OW#wdwhaiku

Midway Mania,
A stampede down Hollywood.
Don't trample my child.#wdwhaiku

Crossing the river
Regret and pain fill my soul

(Code 101 means that a ride is down)

I’m a Star Wars fan, so let’s close it out with a positive haiku looking forward to the future:

Star Wars land you say?
the millennium falcon?
Oh hell yes Disney #wdwhaiku

There are plenty more, and you can check them all out by searching twitter for the hashtag #wdwhaiku. Anyway, the whole exercise was an enormous amount of fun, thanks to all of you that took the time to craft and share your haiku!

Got any more, or any ideas for similar just-for-fun challenges? Let me know in the comments!
