MIL on the long pole
Still got it at fifty six
Smash goes the artwork

I love a haiku thanks for sharing!

Here’s my offering:

Thanks for the freedom;
I felt joyless for so long;
Out of this threesome

Three loads of washing
The basket is now empty
Arrghhh damn his gym gear

ThrillitDontkillit · 03/06/2018 12:41

Balsamic mushrooms
So tangy, juicy and warm.
A lunchtime delight.

20 reports done
6 more to go and planning
Sun is shining, damn

charliesweb · 03/06/2018 12:47

That was my first ever attempt at a Haiku. You inspired me (and I'm avoiding report writing and planning Grin)

Boxroom, the boxroom
Once a pointer to foul trolls
Now a place to sob

Sunny day, so why?
Am I chatting shit on here,
When I should go out?

FizzyGreenWater · 03/06/2018 13:31

Shame on you Tom Jones
May ten stage fulls of knickers
Crush you from on high

Children gave me lip.
Now I have a headache so -
Paracetamol

AbsolutelyBeginning · 03/06/2018 13:39

High breasts on pert youth
Defying gravity now
But too soon will fall

AbsolutelyBeginning · 03/06/2018 13:47

Dreams of motherhood
Even sixty not too late
Thanks to new science

ThrillitDontkillit · 03/06/2018 14:20

Flower in a cup.
A porcelain reservoir.
Picked by chubby hands.

RubyLux · 03/06/2018 14:21

Girl wakes grumpily
The same every lunchtime nap
Mind and heart maelstrom.

yousignup · 03/06/2018 14:24

Husband not sober
Alcohol his biggest love
Stop pissing yourself

lardymclardy · 03/06/2018 14:28

I thought you meant for people who had died - for my Nan:

I miss you so much
The lasagne was rubbish
I'd pay for it now.

AdaColeman · 03/06/2018 14:31

A quiet Sunday
As they all are recently.
Life slips past me now.

FizzyGreenWater · 03/06/2018 14:38

Campers are too close
Guy lines set to boil my piss
Time to free the hounds

Lardy the title was because the MIL thread was deleted! - so lost threads - trying to get in under the TAAT radar...

but now it blossoms
thread takes on its own sweet life
haiku what you want

Neighbours with barbecue
I hate you so much
I don't care if it's Summer

(sorry, I've got no idea how to make a Haiku Blush!)

lardymclardy · 03/06/2018 14:43

Ohhh thank you Fizzy

Just of to the shop
My big rucksack swaying
Ready to knock twats

PanPanPanPing · 03/06/2018 14:44

PS - I don't hate any neighbours with barbecues, but another MNer does - apparently!

ScreamingValenta · 03/06/2018 14:47

Carrying baby
Leaning on washing machine
Enjoying her book

BeeFarseer · 03/06/2018 14:49

Horrible neighbour
Their car over your driveway
They park where they like.
