How about these three?
The first two are the same haiku in French and English. I wrote them in my head at a YES concert.

Nous sommes du soleil
Les visages de les enfants
La main de Dieu.

We are of the sun
The faces of the children
God's hand in us all.

In our darkest night
May God bless America
The land of the free.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Garden a big mess
Many weeds, no sun shining
Flowers feel hopeless.

Avast! Why fight, ye knaves,
O'er Pirate talk and haikus?
Two birds with one stone.

LOL

Nope sorry. Nothing compares with "Talk Like A Pirate Day".

True...this and/or a good Opui/ZOT! (they're so rare these days. :) are almost as good...

i'm a lady who likes to freep
to conclusions i like to leap
an afternoon spent lurking
instead of cleaning or working
is fun, i learn and its cheap!
