Haiku thread

[MaBellOnDaLoose]

Marching splendidly
Patrolling the room-kingdom
I leave it to stomp

This container holds
Today's struggles and delights
Just right for tonight

Antihistamine
Takes the edge off her wheezing
On this chilly night

So bloody unfair
Loves her sports with a passion
Winter-ravaged lungs

@MaBellOnDaLoose

Sister hears spider stomp.
I think she is lying bad
No spider that loud.

Middle of the night
Browsing Mumsnet on my phone
Damn perimenopause

Middle of the night
Need to get some shut eye soon.
My eye bags have bags.

In America
We read while you are sleeping
I miss the UK

The spider is dead
I jumped on its head two times
See the blood running.

This is fabulous,
I wish I could do it too,
But I'm not able.

Lovely thread enriched
By suggesting an idea
For the next writer

Smells

Fireworks pierce the night
Cordite assails our noses
With acrid odour

Touch

Word strays from haiku
I am left wondering why
Who is touching who?
🙃

@echt suggested
the theme for the next haiku
should come from the last

@heldinadream 😁

Flipping 'eck, I'm daft
That'll teach me to
RTFT won't it?

Water.

Over a long time,
The water's drip makes a hole
Inevitable.

Oh no! I forgot
The next post's theme suggestion!
Erm, the stars at night

Holes in the night sky
Feels like a blanket above
Pressing down on me

Roses

Roses are reddish
Violets are blue sometimes
I am surprised

Music

Husband likes 80s
I like baroque choral so
not compatible!

Birds

My husband’s birthday
he birdwatches and gardens
fat balls it is then

Trains

Cat escapes again
Bad leg must heal! Catch, contain!
Grumpy cat wants out

Staff well-being time
Here: mental health webinar
Just reduce workload

Pudding was promised
Shop busy, mind exhausted
Pretend I forgot

Guests arriving soon
No meal; just ingredients
Quick, cook! Or serve toast?

Theme for the next one: the budget. (well autumn statement really)

Or Just Jeremy Hunt!
