(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

Sorry. I just ... love haiku. They are a very complex form.

Well, they are as authentically haiku as transwomen are women and they seem to be getting away with it, so...

Not haiku. Sorry. Pedantic as fuck, me. Smile

Maaaaaaaaybe 'senryu' at a push. But there are rules for them, too.

Annoyingly I used to be a SPaG twat pedant but my brain doesn't work as well now and I struggle to remember their/they're/there these
days, so those are my best efforts Blush I look forward to "proper" ones and I know FWR MNers won't disappoint Grin
