Bible haiku

 
Martin Cole | 14 Dec 2011
A haiku is a short, three-line poem which always follows this pattern:
First line: 5 syllables
Second line: 7 syllables
Third line: 5 syllables

See if you can work out which Bible books are summed up here in haiku form.

It's all meaningless:
Work, love, career, pleasure, life
Not if it's for God

Sorry O ran off
Now God's turned his life around
So give him a hug

In the beginning
Ev'rything is perfect, yay!
Then man mucks it up

Go to Nineveh!
I'd rather swim with the fish!
God's plans can't be stopped


OK, now it's your turn, get your Bible brains in gear and submit your own Bible haiku.
