Minnie in the bed,
and Rosie upon my head;
habits are forming.

Wednesday’s Woeful— Haiku
Midweek? Humpday? Bleugh?!
Wednesday is a mad day;
neither here, nor there.
The sky is available in many different shades
The sky is available in many different shades.
Today it’s patchy,
with undertones of glimmer,
but that can soon change.
We walk along lanes
We walk along lanes,
where the songs of birds abound,
and we smile a lot.
Not a conventional Haiku
This is not a conventional Haiku,
as you can tell by the line length,
the syllable count,
and the number of lines involved.
In fact, it has no recognisable form.
and it doesn’t even rhyme.
It might not catch on,
but it’s good to buck the poetic system
once in a while.
