Haiku? If that is unfamiliar word, is a Japanese form of poetry, very specific in that it uses three lines, five syllables in the first, then seven, then five again. It should be very formal ( read this description) but we have had fun with this by being more relaxed, with apologies to purists! But it can be fun to compose a thought expressed with the 5,7,5 limit. Here is a sample to inspire your quirky non-classic entries: Where do blackbirds go when seeds and bugs disappear? Fast food parking lots! Give it a try. It's easy. Add some of yours... |

Oh! I ate them all!
And oh, what a stomach ache!
Stolen green apples.

Tiny hummimgbird,
Aztec warrior, returns
busy with flowers!

N.B. If you didn't click the link, Aztecs believed a warrior lost in battle would return as a hummingbird! Pretty cool.

This isn't my poem, but I thought we all needed to read it.
There was a young man
From Cork who got Limericks
And Haikus confused.
And now we all can. Thanks to DJ Steele

Inspired by Climate Change...
Australia burned up,
the Polar Caps are melting!
Time to move to Mars.

How did I get here?
Cottonwood! A quiet place.
Will a garden help?

A loony monkey
runs the zoo while others watch.
It's almost funny.

Not raining today
I went for a nice long walk
Let's hope it stays fair
