Haiku Chain

Gifted in haiku

Never in a million years

Limericks fit the bill

 

 

There once was a master in East Midland UK

whom writing a haiku no mortal could sway.

When he wrote, spoke, or sang, when he whistled or snored,

the five-seven-five rule he always ignored,

that entrenched haikuphobe in East Midland UK.

I've lost my marbles

They rolled under the settee

Well, sofa so good.

Wait! They're your marbles!

Rolling on the hardwood floor.

Little round hazards...

 

Little round hazards...

Rolling Jaffas down the isle,

Hands held in the dark.

Burn for unity,

Earth alight, with the Mind's Eye.

Everyone must die.

 

everyone must die

out there where the dead are laid

another voice is heard

 

another voice is heard

speaking softly in the shade

speaking without words

Yeah? What's the difference?

The universe does not care.

I sure as hell do.

 

 

(btw, difference is 3 syllables... :o )
