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!”
Want to read more of my stuff?

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.
