Haiku for Nature;
a Tanka for love poems;
Senryu, funny.
Limericks, also funny;
Sonnets are for love poems;
Pantoums and Villanelles weird.

And if that doesn’t stop them
Then probably nothing will!”
My Vegan Haiku
does not contain nasty bits,
and is safe for all.
A gull has to do
what a seagull has to do;
but in name only.
There are no birds called seagulls;
and only three types of gull:
Herring, Large White-Headed,
and the Great-Black-Backed –
obviously there are others;
but, if I mentioned them all here,
I wouldn’t be able to fit them
neatly into this Tanka.
The antidisest-
ablishmentarian-
ism Haiku is here;
but, what would it take to make
that form into a Tanka?
“Why write a Haiku?”
Well, because they are so short,
and easily done.
“Is that all there is?”
it’s subject should be Nature,
and always subtle.
“Can I write Haiku?”
Anyone can write a Haiku,
even I write them –
sometimes I add two more lines
and, hey presto, a Tanka!
Rebel & Change Haiku
We are bell-ringers
and you cannot pull our legs
as we ring in change.
