(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

We are united
We know what a woman is
And we will prevail

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

Screaming and Pouting
Are Not Definitively
Female Attributes..

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

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

Sorry, But You're Not
An Adult Human Female.
(I'm Not Feeling Kind).

What is there in you
That is in all the women
But never in men?

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 03/02/2022 16:06

We will not be kind
We will be truthful instead
So get over it

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

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 03/02/2022 16:07

They identify as a haiku Wink

sun, moon; revolve
around us. light touches

@Nellodee

What is there in you That is in all the women But never in men?
A riddling one! Nice.
NancyDrawed · 03/02/2022 16:09

What is a woman?
An Adult Human Female
No more and no less

Sorry. I just ... love haiku. They are a very complex form.
CompleteGinasaur · 03/02/2022 16:10

Bloody DomesticatedZombie actually knowing what you're doing..

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 03/02/2022 16:10

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

We will hear
We won’t close our eyes
We shall speak

MrsWooster · 03/02/2022 16:38

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

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.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 03/02/2022 17:00

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

BaronessWrongCrowdRex · 03/02/2022 17:37

Adult Human Female
We are warrior queens.
Never males.

Waitwhat23 · 03/02/2022 17:41

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

CompleteGinasaur · 03/02/2022 17:46

Weigh, Stir, Mix, Stretch, Knead.
No Matter How I Shape It
It Is Bread Not Cake.
