Screw you Haiku

On Mondays I like to allow myself a little more freedom from the discipline of the more structured writing schedule that I have set for myself and simply do something stupid.

On Mondays I like to allow myself a little more freedom from the discipline of the more structured writing schedule that I have set for myself and do something different.  I normally like to dabble with a variety of fiction pieces but Not on Monday, oh no

The challenge of packing emotive imagery into 17 syllables is quite a test, which is perhaps why they seem so daunting and often so very serious.  A limerick on the other hand is quite the opposite, filled with such joy and whimsy.

Today I shall attempt to write some haiku that are not serious at all serious.

 

Hot spicy curry

Arse like a Japanese flag

oh no not again

 

In the house naked

Wife and kids on vacation

Beer for breakfast

 

Leaving work in shame

Stomach flu going around

Gambled on a fart

 

Wife screams in horror

Dogs humping in the garden

Cover children’s eyes

 

Loud knock at the door

Dancing in the house naked

Police “Close curtains!”

  15. Hell yeah!
    Feels good upon reading them 🙂
    I don’t take haiku in the traditional sense of the term seriously either :-0 it’s as if the were designed to be not serious whatsoever.
    Grab those 17 syllables and make let your imagination run wild.
    Keep up the good work!
    Checking out the second part.
