Cuz why not, that's why. Feel free to contribute more:

Two notches of flaps
Red over white I'm all right
Landing smooth as silk

Titan Stroker purrs
hundred and seventy knots
Magic Carpet Ride

Gotta fill the tanks
Eight-oh-nine?! Where's the self serve?
Run it lean of peak

If it's been a long time since high school English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

A few from the "still building" perspective..

My progress is slow
But my birds will someday fly
With me in the seat!

Cleco pliers stink
Proseal an ungodly mess
In the end, worth it

To fly it a dream
Unattainable it seems
It's a worthy goal
 
Etched on the back of my ipad-mini is:

My flyPad Mini
In the air I find my way
My charts live inside

Inscribing is free from Apple, so why not?
 
VOCs are good
Fiberglass in lungs
More than just aluminum.

Random beauty marks
Learning rivet gun control
I know it's homebuilt.

Watching videos
Addicted to the forum
Doesn't get work done.

Full of fear and dread,
I remove the tail fairing.
There are no cracks there.

Nose up just a bit,
Then I push the stick sideways.
Upside down is fun.

Oh no, too bumpy!
The wife grabs for the barf bag.
We are landing now.
 
for the builders

Dam that really hurts
drilled a hole in my finger
where are my band aids

it could have been worse
it was just a small drill size
does blood stain wing skins

that's enough for now
think i'll have a beer instead
where are my pretzels
 
Lots of building
Riveting, bending and more
Now time for a Champ.

No more medical
Can't fly the RV-7
Who will buy these wings?

Truck parking outside
Aluminum takes its place
Garage full of dreams.

Live to fly again
LSA better than none!
Time for more treadmill.
 
My turn

Here's the hangar troll,
Wants to visit while I build.
Hey, Dude, grab a wrench!

Talking in my sleep.
Drill, dimple, debur, repeat.
Building's in my blood.

Riveting the ribs,
Can't reach that one with the bar.
Time for Cherry Max.

Van's Air Force site rocks,
RV cornucopia.
DR broke the code!
 
And then there's....

Polished hangar floor.
Clayton loves the mirror shine.
Ladies' skirts beware! :D
 
Not my best landing,
OK but not a greaser.
Nobody saw it.

Humble pie this time.
Taxi back to the hangar,
Mixture, master, mags.
 
The almost-finished kit

"Ninety percent done."
I did last ninety percent.
Happy flying now!
