(Disclaimer I am extremely amateur at this, and welcome any feedback on errors)

Inspired by the "MN in six words" thread in FWR (annoyingly I can't link as I am on the app) I thought it would be good to have a FWR haiku thread.

Here are my efforts to start us off (I never know whether to capitalise or not, and I also want to use "silenced" but can't work out whether it is 2 or 3 syllables Blush)

Women of Mumsnet
are not witches for burning
We will not submit

Pretend all you want
but men are not women and
biology rules

This is a very good thread Grin I see we are branching out into limericks so I shall give it some thought overnight!

I just speak the truth
Sex is not a state of mind
This witch will not burn

The men shout and pout
Winds blow, leaves fall, seasons change
Women will persist

If man is woman,
then can the flowers take
to the air like birds?

Quick rhyming couplet

If you choose to call me cis
On your chips I will piss

do not make a woman real
Only born female

What is a woman
Conceptual being, or
One of blood and bone

Okay, I've nicked this and mucked about with it - I apologise in advance for reminding anyone who recognises it of the extremely sexist original.. (I'm kind of ashamed of knowing this one..)

There was a young woman called Jill
Who started on 'T' for a thrill
They removed her vagina
In North Carolina
And cut off her breasts in Brazil

Okay, here’s a quick limerick (not my best):

There once was a woman called “cis”
Who said “I don’t recognise this”
The menz put her right
And said babe, don’t fight
Nah, boys you’re just taking the piss

Yes well done Tinsel you've nailed it there Grin
I think that's this year's FWR contributor of the year award in the bag again

I think that's the best thing I've ever written on MN.

Men want everything
Our words and our safe spaces
Why can’t we say no?

There once was a woman called Stella, who said misogyny could apply to a feller.
She came on this site, women thought she was shite,
And decamped to Twitter to tell her.

Nellodee · 03/02/2022 17:48

There once was a lady called Lily
Who was ever so giggly and silly
She tried to go swimmin'
When the pool was all wimmin'
Nothing happened and I didn't get banned.

Weigh, Stir, Mix, Stretch, Knead.
No Matter How I Shape It

Women are angry
Woman is not a feeling.
No more pandering.

Adult Human Female
We are warrior queens.
Never males.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 03/02/2022 17:00

Sex matters in life;
It isn't transphobia.
It's just common sense.

Awiltu · 03/02/2022 16:59

Can't manage a haiku but can do a limerick instead Grin

On Mumsnet are eloquent females
Who ignore tiresome tactics and derails
From those who are vexed
That bodies are sexed
And sign off with pronouns in emails.

MrsWooster · 03/02/2022 16:38

We are all daughters
And some of us are mothers.
None of us are men.

We won’t close our eyes
We shall speak

These are good. I think I may be more suited to limericks Grin
