Today is Haiku Poetry Day

Haiku Poetry Day encourages you to try your hand at short, Japanese poems; stick to a syllable pattern of 5-7-5 and you’re off to a good start – but it’s much more complex than that!

To craft a perfect Haiku, you need to include an element of seasonality, and a ‘cut’ (either a word or through punctuation) to create a comparison between the themes and content of the haiku.

So come on you poets

 

Please God can someone give HorTs a kick?
Bern can you,
A. make some up that are good
Or,
B. find a different website

Example

Today is kick a pensioner day, kick a pensioner day is always the saturday before christmas where traditionally late shoppers happily barge and knock over the elderly in their pursuit of crap christmas tat for their "loved ones" - if you see a pensioner today don't forget to strap on your Doctor Martins and put the boot in......and don't forget to have it away with their wallet.




This is just an example from my mind, you could of course list a kind equivalent like "set fire to a kitten" or summat.

 

I may have to start making them up

I'm beginning to realise why HorTs packed it in

 

Well if you get stuck i'm full of ideas....... it is true i may offend the minority but that's what they said about Thatcher and i'm sure we all forgive for minor indescressions.

 

true

a boy stood on a burning deck with a pocket full of crackers
one fell down his trouser leg
and burnt him on the

ankle









missed his nackers completely.

 

Going for a Haiku format:

I well love my van
1 2 3 4 5
Even in the cold winter
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
When my balls freeze off
1 2 3 4 5

I think I've got the idea

 

I'm siding with the Rick on this one mainly because I can't speak Japanesebut also I like his day better ,all that pushing and shoving of pensioners ha ha .


The mother in law is due tomorrow for 3 Chuffin days I might take her shopping ha ha ha

 

I was hoping it might be hangover day. I seem to have a rather large one.

 

Illuminations
were freezing, jammed and wet. But
Wilma was a star.

 

Garaged and asleep
while Winter rages outside.
She dreams of Spring Camp.

 

Stickers can cover
the rust, but they won't get you
through an M.O.T.

Comfort and heating
hold no sway for us. Only
style is forever.

 

You are clever sods
I can't do haiku myself
no harm trying though

 

This has had a better response than I thought when I posted it up this morning.
Barney - you didn't have to do it in foreign ???

 

Bedded down safe and sound
For now she sleeps
Spring arrives and out she'll peep
