A message for you
To say both of the two words
That I know are true.
So early today
I wrote upon your windscreen
In the morning frost.
I loves you, I do
And just took a moment to
Write my message down.
I smiled, I did;
As I thought of you just then
As I often do.
Healthy Haiku 1
An apple a day
Helps keep the doctor away;
So eat fruit today.
Healthy Haiku 2
Try to get balance
In what you eat and you drink;
Think ‘Moderation’.
Healthy Haiku 3
Keep well hydrated;
Just drink plenty of water;
And you’ll stay healthy.
Healthy Haiku 4
Exercise Daily:
Both your mind and your body;
Don’t over do it.
That is not to say that I don’t write them; it’s just that I don’t stick to the essential essence of the original Japanese form. I think I should study the form a lot more as I am not really doing the Haiku justice. We shall see. Graeme:)

“And another thing…” #Tanka
Nope. Nothing else here;
Empty vessel; but, no noise;
Silence in buckets;
Which is in an abundance;
But, it’s too hot for dancing.
And another thing…
Why is the weather so mad;
It’s loop-the-loopy;
And shouldn’t this tanka rhyme?
Once, if not all of the time?
And another thing…
This tanka is much too short
By at least two lines.
“Oh, I see, it’s a haiku;
Well, that would explain it’s length.”

Stating the blooming obvious on a Sunday.
As it’s a Sunday
I have a little write time…
But, nothing happens.
No words flow at all;
And thoughts are far from working;
This means nothing writ.
So my apologies
For this blank piece of paper;
Better luck next time.
C’est Parcel Parceau!
Delivers without a word –
A silent service.
Mouse, not Moose!
2am Mouse
Mouse. Definitely!
Rosie Cat has a playmate;
Tom and Jerry time!
I capture said mouse;
Release him safely anon;
Away from the house.
He got on a train
Going to Cheeseborough;
Third class ticket mouse.
I didn’t tell him
That there was no cheese there, now
But, there had been… once.
