I like me, do you haiku?

Question

I was going to submit these in Japanese, but they lose something in translation.

Big clap of thunder
Sets off all the car alarms.
When they stop, I clap.


Grizzlies walk on road
Tourists click their cameras
Bears don't stop to pose.

New York irony

neonman · Answer

And the question posed is what is the metaphor for grizzly?  A New Yorker?  Or the Mets headed out of town?

*Jellz* · Answer

Great haikus JJL!

a small tweak to the bear haiku

Grizzlies walk on road
Tourists click their cameras
Bears don't pause to pose
(or
 they can't bear to pause)

and a bonus Jayku

Bears with a pause
On a road, have a cause
To do whatever they please
