‘Once upon a time’
to ‘happy ever laughter’:
from start to the end.
This is ‘your’ haiku,
it’s precious, look after it,
it will serve you well.
“Keep away from me!
I am trying to stay free
of the cruel virus.”

“But, we just want to join you,
become a cosy Tanka.”
“It’s ‘Herdog’s Blanket!”
“What is? What are you saying?”
“Just being silly.”

Lockdown, Day 1
Diary entry:
Stocked up with lots of food,
should be a doddle.
Lockdown, Day 2
Diary entry:
Ran out of chocolate eggs,
damn this cruel lockdown.
Lockdown, Day 153
Diary entry:
I ate my left foot, today;
it was less than nice.
Lockdown, Day 413
Diary entry:
just a whoosh of tumbleweed,
and all blank pages
Just a few small words put in a certain order can make a haiku.
(as exampled below)
Just a few small words
put in a certain order
can make a haiku.
To write on my life,
in seventeen syllables,
just cannot be done.
A haiku series,
maybe that is the answer –
I’ll try it and see.
No, that didn’t work,
it soon became quite boring,
in fact, tedious.
So, I’ll stick to one,
keep it simple, as they say –
whoever ‘they’ are.
My life? Ongoing,
doing this and some of that,
breathing in and out;
taking each day in its turn,
writing Haikus and Tankus.
