MN is grumpy;
the collective mood bitter.
Come and chill out here.

of mine already. These aren't
quite purist's haiku

The sun shines, gentle
breezes blow. Excel crashes
and I curse. Birds sing.

TheHaikuPolice · 31/05/2006 16:33

Gentle breezes? Where
are you? It's bloody freezing
here. Excel's a bitch.

MrsBadgerAvecUneVoiture · 31/05/2006 16:35

Balmy Oxfordshire.
Sun has gone in now though - could
be a chilly night.

We were invited
to a beach party today.
We did not attend.

MrsBadgerAvecUneVoiture · 31/05/2006 16:52

Think a wetsuit would
have been more in order than
a bikini, no?

CappucinoTheHaikuPedant · 31/05/2006 17:10

oi you lot

where's your

  1. reference to the seasons
  2. sense of time
  3. metaphor?

so far I only see MrsBadger coming up with the goods

TheHaikuPolice · 31/05/2006 17:27

Yes Mrs. Badger
showed us all up. I did get
the word 'arse' in though

:)

Cappucino · 31/05/2006 17:29

don't actually remember the word 'arse' in any of the definitions I have read

will check again though if you'd like?

Cappucino · 31/05/2006 17:30

[hopes no-one notices I haven't actually written a haiku myself]

Haiku thread dormant?
Pity - just discovered it's
succint expression.

I hope to revive
the simple beauty of this
creativity.

Must go to bed now
Visiting farm tomorrow
Animals waiting

Beetle73 · 01/08/2006 23:31

So much crime tonight
CSI, more CSI
Bad voyeuristic Beetle

SaffyCat · 02/08/2006 12:53

How was farm beetle?
Need similar diversion
From endless questions.

Seven year old
Demanding stimulation,
Sweet but relentless.

Beetle73 · 02/08/2006 21:24

smelly but friendly
DD really liked ferrets
(not getting one though)

feeling shattered now
stay at home days so tiring
with busy toddler
