Haikuu

[Aodh Hammerhelm]

Six nights at work
Six now to unwind
I plan to write like the King

@Wamba_the_Fool - Brilliance!

PS:

Remembers point score
Takes up pen again
& Fools the Fool's OP thing

[Marceline]

My former students
Aged five and six are going
To high school this fall

[Aodh Hammerhelm]

Time waits, Wamba
For no man or lass
Eleven years since U2

[Wamba_the_Fool]

Just as wise man does,
Lazy man does not - "later!"
But later comes soon

[The Black Serpent]

Dove

Slanting sunrays
Illuminate leaf and branch
But not the grey dove

[The Black Serpent]

Raindrops

Drooping raindrops show
The rainbowed world around,
Alas! It too drops!

Flower garden

Old chrysanthemum falls
Does the garden weep?
Why does Man bereave?

Spider

Spindly crawler, it
thinks webs make corner pretty
Why then does Man swat it?

Envy

Grey dove, cloudy sky
His flight is my envy
My warm home is his

Envy II

Bramble and Oak, both
Envy the other. One on sunny days
Another on stormy nights

[Afird Splitax]

Cool, dewy, morning
The Robin sings with glee; one
more worm bites the dust

[Marceline]

Gloomy afternoon
Chilly temps and cloudy skies
Perfect for running!

[Androthelm]

Sunset in my eyes
blinking, tilt my face away
as I sit in class.

[Wamba_the_Fool]

Important meeting
Between me and the weekend
Wish it was worthwhile...

[Elvheimdros]

One week of school done.
How so behind already?
Better start grading.

[Galadrihell]

winter draws closer
nights lengthening their embrace
we’re long gone by dawn

[Raisins]

I completely blame Sil
Not for Beebs coming back though, that's
totally on me

[Marceline]

Early to bed and
Early to rise makes Mondays
A bit easier

[Legolas]

I drank too much
Walk of shame
I feel so bad

[Androthelm]

Walk now shamelessly
(and enjoy your drink safely)
It's not a bad thing!

[Rior Laegiel]

Wow, it's been a while
Since I posted a haiku
I'm out of practice

[Wamba_the_Fool]

Empty coffee cup
Outside: birds sing, fair breeze
Inside: full inbox

[Androthelm]

Thinking on a theme,
Inside: Coffee, cup and grounds--
Outside: world to face.

[Rior Laegiel]

Autumn is here now
Inside: warm cozy blanket
Outside: clouds, rain, fog

Stuck inside today
Alone with nothing to do
What would you have done?

[Wamba_the_Fool]

Stuck inside today
Alone with nothing to do
What would you have done?

Two books at the same time, man.
Book-stack six feet tall
Philosophy, old sci-fi,
Literature, all

[Rior Laegiel]

Thank you, Wamba, for
your suggestion, it makes me
think of my own books

A bookstack I have
Tolkien and Gabaldon
Favourite authors

[Nerwen Nuke-queen]

I wrote a poem,
To commit to open source,
Now I share it here:

Last crispy autumn
An ice, cold computer laughs
in spite of the tea

[Wamba_the_Fool]

Click "reply" and wait
Get lost in the spinning wheel
Get lost, spinning wheel!
Cue funky horns: "What goes up, must come down..."

[Galadrihell]

the baby wakes me
in the middle of the night
again and again

[Wamba_the_Fool]

"I can't get to sleep!"
Well you've gone to the bathroom
how many times now?

[Eldy Dunami]

Even October
Won't save the mid-Atlantic
From humidity

[Elvheimdros]

It was briefly Fall.
Now it is eighty degrees.
Really, Mother Earth?

[Marceline]

DST bargain:
An extra hour of sleep for
Five months of darkness

[Galadrihell]

Time’s a funny thing;
Last summer I lost an hour
Now it’s back again

[Wamba_the_Fool]

"The clock jumped back one!"
Nobody told the baby:
Hungry is hungry.

[Galadrihell]

creatures of habit
heart-clock ticking fitfully
gradual and strange

[Wamba_the_Fool]

Warm up the goodwife
Faster heart means hotter feet
But death comes sooner

[Aodh Hammerhelm]

Hometown COVID hi;
Highest in county, they say.
Yipee-ti-yo!



A diary entry, Bridgnorth, 20/11/11

[Wamba_the_Fool]

No politics meant
But positives aren't cases
And cases aren't deaths

Be of good cheer, freond min.

[Wamba_the_Fool]

Bah, didn't tag @Aodh Hammerhelm above. Mea culpa.

[Aodh Hammerhelm]

@Wamba_the_Fool

[Galadrihell]

in her iron shoes
magnetic, frenetic dance
fleet flat firefoot

[Aodh Hammerhelm]

One of my favourite musicians, Nick Cave, runs a page called Red Hand Files. It's a Q&A site for fans struggling through life in general.

Today's topic was Haiku and he quoted comedian, John Cooper Clarke thusly:

To con-vey one’s mood

In sev-en-teen syll-able-s

Is ve-ry dif-fic...

[Rior Laegiel]

Ghost story podcasts,
Listening to one tonight.
A bad idea!

Afraid of the dark.
How will I fall sleep tonight?
What if a ghost comes?

[Marceline]

The Advent of Code:
Twenty-five fun challenges,
Like solving riddles

[Legolas]

Spending energy and time, renouncing joy.
Walking alone with a burden.
The future is yet uncertain.

[Marceline]

Simply existing
During vacation: lovely
Hours doing nothing

[Androthelm]

Year comes to a close
Moving ever on and on
Still so much to do.

[Ta'leus Shieldsong]

The new year dawns dark,
Troubled times ahead for us,
But still I have hope.

[Androthelm]

Semester begins
and after this, what comes next?
Grad school, I suppose.

[Ta'leus Shieldsong]

I love Mountain Dew;
It is a garbage soda,
Yet I drink it still.

[Baphởmet]

Bears, simply better
than any other critter
just look at their ears

[Galadrihell]

my shoes are pointy
they’re not made of elf ears, but
I could start this trend

[Baphởmet]

trends are weird, like what
a bajillion people eating apples
and I just want grapes
