I've grouped it as General Poetry to accommodate senryu too (satire/human nature). This is the March Leg of my year long haikuthon.
(S) for senryu, (H) for haiku.
I'll be using minimal punctuation, no dashes (-) nor elpises (...) nor tontoisms.
March 1 (H) -- Ever tried getting up with a cat on you? They look so sad
March 2 (H) -- Sometimes you just want to sleep in
March 3 (H) -- Storm clouds tend to form together. People say it's physics, I say they're lonely.
March 4 (H) -- True fact, rain = traffic. Sunny = clear sailing.
March 4 (S) -- Merc refers to Mercedes. Motor refers to motorbike. [Second one]
March 5 (S) -- A neighbor died, the funeral took two days
March 6 (S) -- "No," I lied. All kids look runty to adults.
March 6 (H) -- Fuuuck... my clothes! [Second one]
March 7 (S) -- Hmm... I dunno about this one. Advice?
March 8 (H) -- A dragonfly instead of a moth, 'cause they dance better
March 8 (H) -- Same dragonfly, he refuses to stop circling. Massive pun alert [Second one]
March 9 (H) -- A reverse on personification
March 10 (H) -- My favorite in a long while. Slightly awesome that the very same pigeon orchids I see so often are mentioned in Wikipidea
March 11 (S) -- Self explanatory.
March 12 (H) -- Dust has a smell. Varies by location.
March 13 (H) -- "Air mawar" is pronounced a~yir maw~are. It translates literally as "rose water". A common fragrance that is also poured on Muslim graves by visitors.
March 14 (H) -- Considered saying "red sunset" instead of "warm sunset". Opinions? Yellow flame is a flower.
March 15 (S) -- Yes alliteration, I has it. Meant to highlight the absurdity of the situation.
March 16 (H) -- Self explanatory.
March 17 (H) -- Brakelights in the dark. So yeah...
March 18 (S) -- True story, seen at a hospital.
March 19 (H) -- Cut grass brings all cats to the yard, damn right, it's better than yours. I'd show you, but I'd have to charge.
March 20 (S) -- Alternate for line one is "Diner at midnight", but I feel the lenght throws off the piece. Opinions?
March 21 (H) -- Tandoori Chicken is bright red due to it's spices, and has a tendency of staining teeth, nails and lips.
March 22 (H) -- Inspired by: Trumpet creeper by ~simetta
March 23 (H) -- Shoutout to Led Zeppelin.
March 24 (H) -- Some puns. Also, notice how sunlight is green through leaves?
March 25 (H) -- Self explanatory.
March 26 (H) -- Hydroplaning, not a fuckload of fun. Also, piss pun. Grammar doesn't feel right in line two, suggestions?
March 27 (H) -- Poor thing took hours to start rain. Indigestion from all the fumes, I suspect.
March 28 (H) -- God does not thrift, she's a "lights on, even when no one's in the room" kinda girl.
March 28 (S) -- Oh irony, you are lost on us. [Second one]
March 29 (H) -- LOL pun. :V
March 30 (H) -- Actually, it was Cendol Pulut, but that's a mouthful. Shout out to Issa's "pounding rice cakes-- // from the eaves a crow // sticks out his head"
March 31 (H) -- What's Summer without a flu? A lot less annoying, that's what.

day 3: humorous. it changed the way i looked at storm clouds.
day 7, 8: i tend to avoid personal pronoun in writing haiku as that likely takes the readers out of the frame of the haiku. but that is just me.
day 8: the light and shadows actually flitter in my mind screen. good job!
8b: LOL! me too. you shouldn't have spoilt the show with this 8b.
day 14: is this haiku a little too vague in its purpose?
day 15: very good alliteration and rhymes, totally makes sense amidst the diners' din.
day 21: mmm, tandoori makes the lips more kissable i see.
day 25: i like it visual like this. the curtains lives, effectively personification i would say and this is not common in haiku to work well like this.
day 26: my, this is embarassing. my fave from your set for its elements of surprise and humor!
