When poetry fails
to ignite up my senses
will a haiku do?
A Badriomaku and two Haiku
(With a syllable count of 2-3-5-1-5-4-5, the Hungarian Badriomaku is interesting in that it gives you a structure that doesn’t fit any preconceived ideas).
“Today,
It is said,
is a special day.”
“What?”
“Today is Wenn’s Day;
when all is free,
and debts are cancelled.”
“Badriomaku?
That’s not a poetry form –
You just made that up!”
“Oh, yes, so I did!
What kind of a fool am I
to do such a thing?”
My Wellington Boots Haiku
My Wellington Boots
do help to keep my feet dry
and are so stylish.
Well, readers, that was
My Wellington Boots haiku;
what more can I say?
… not writing a poetical treatise upon anything…
… as it seems a pointless thing to do.
And, anyway, the thought of a long, boring, and pointless treatise (for that is what I would write – believe me in this) is not doing anybody any favours.
You wouldn’t thank me for writing it, and I would totally appreciate why you didn’t read it.
So, in its place…
a haiku.
short, sweet, to the point,
what could possibly go wrong
writing a haiku?
anybody?”
A Haiku is a funny thing;
with its syllable count
and its three lines
of poetry
sticking to a strict format.
it is short and sweet;
and one that has no long words;
not a one at all.
