Dana uses the ancient artform of Haiku to express her inner thoughts.

The structure of a haiku is very simple. One sentence of five syllables, one sentence of seven, then another sentence of five syllables. 

What you get is Hai-kooky!

Translation
(From my special See N Say that instead of giving the sound of an animal, translates what they say into English)
And the turkey says...
Mail Man, away from my hens!
It's mating season!

Great in Green
A four leaf clover.
What the grass will be quite soon.
Hybrids and power.

Frigid
My hair is frozen.
My fingers will break off soon.
I'm so cold it hurts.

January Snow
Sparkly and fluffy
like a big cloud in the sun,
but much heavier.

Doo
When dogs do their job,
don't count on snow to cover.
Do your job people!

Florida "Wind Chill"
It's all perspective.
I'm at the pool in my suit, 
They are all in parkas.
(They being Floridians)

I WAS There
So what if I'm pale?
I was in the sunshine state,
just out of most sun.

Pie on Vacation
For the best Key Lime
My recommendation is...
Kermits!  Just think green.
(Grenn like the frog, and it's on Greene St.)

Shoveling Lambeau
Why would you do it?
Some people's only way in.
Plus, they get paid, too!

Unlike Me
I missed Black Friday.
I wasn't going to buy.
Instead I slept in.

Black Friday
Prepare for shopping.
Check the ads on turkey day.
Rise at 3 AM.

Halloween!
One Trick or Treater.
Lots of candy for that one.
Next year maybe two.

Cookies Anyone?
How to keep house warm.
Turning on the furnace? NO!
Time for some baking.
(I refuse to turn my heat on in September.)

First Day of School Thoughts
Friends I haven't seen.
I am back to a routine.
How long 'til Spring Break?

Why I Shouldn't Dog Sit
A cute, small Creature
This neighbor didn't mow yet.
Shucks!  I lost the dog!

Final Jeopardy
He's a game show nut.
His darn tune sticks in my brain
Who was Merv Griffin?

(Amy Carlson was the guest Haiku-ist who helped with this one.)
Summer Crunch
My lawn is crispy
Scattered showers won't cut it.
Let's do a rain dance.

Lars' Haiku
Amy Carlson
Meteorologist mom
Please bring your son rain.

NBA Finals
Not on my radar.
Badger great could get a ring.
I found out today.

Rhythm & Booms
More booms than ever!
See leaves falling from the sky,
look for octopi.

Doctor Visit
(The first two lines I am paraphrasing my doctor, the third line is me.)
"Please don't worry, but
Time to get a mammogram."
I say, "the big smoosh."

Sad Relief
Something is missing.
A Tuesday night without Idol.
My night is open!

Get On Board
The sun screen movement.
New slogan: Pale is pretty
not just for the vamps.

Reality Voting
Anyone could win.
Can't complain if I don't vote.
Keep my pie hole shut!

One Curse Lifted
Did you do good deeds?
The Brewers won with you there.
The Fletch curse, lifted!

Big Bottles of Expired Sun Screen
In doubt?  Throw it out.
Here's a tip to save some coin.
Buy small, use it all.

First Game
Mentally ready.
Turning muscles might get sore,
have not swung a bat.

My New Bike
I have a new bike!
It's grey and 15 years old,
but, it's new to me

New Stamp
The forever stamp.
Sounds like a jewelry ad.
Stamps are forever.

How they Relate to cold
What's colder than cold?
April Fools with Dad's ashes?
Keeping Sanjaya?

Double Check (April1)
One hour early.
A VCR that I missed,
Sprung itself ahead.

Take Advantage of Free Throws
Just like a free gift,
but you don't need a coupon,
you get points for free.

My UW Heart: Men's Bball loss, Women's Bball and Hockey Wins
Sorrow and Joy Filled;
like a root canal can be,
painful, then better.

I'm Suspicious
Can Snow Really grow
Phenomenon of fluffing,
or a stall tactic

State of the Cold World
The world is shocking!
Don't shake my hand or touch me.
ZAP! Another jolt.

We Are Number 1!
Alone at the top
Everyone is after us.
Bucky will prevail!

My Hope (Jan. 07)
Favre plays one more year.
Touchdown record and playoffs.
Then go out on top.

Robert Goulet's Bowl Ad
He scales the ceiling;
He plays silly office tricks.
He really is nuts!
