Haiku Time

 




It's that contemplative time of the week when we sit back, gaze on the Feng Shui of our respective compounds and compose haikus. Remember them? They're short, beautiful, terse, evocative poems comprised of 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the next and 5 in conclusion. Let's get going. Inspired by Mike-C, I'll kick off:


England won the cup

It wasn't even Moslem

In the mists of time


"In" is perhaps weak, if center mass. Do feel free to suggest better verse and, of course, send in your own haikus. The challenge, dear friends, is on.

Wolves prey on the weak. The generous are naive. We need more woodsmen.

Please just bring me some kale chips.

Mr Wolf, there's a beautiful simplicity in those lines.
