Screw you haiku

Holiday romance
Sun, sangria, sweet stranger
Rampant pubic crabs

A fat fellow quite fond of cream cake

And sweet treats, for their goodness he’d ache

Gorged on chocolate and choux

Gateaux and jam tarts too

And meringues, well they’d make his moobs shake

Ok its a limerick…the subheading is a haiku. I could fix it but…ill just leave it 🙂

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: Green and Patience

A grown up attempt at a tanka.

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday

I don’t take many things seriously as you probably know but I am going to make a concerted effort to do Colleen’s challenges properly when I do them. I have scant regard for the correct use of haiku and tanka and often do such beastly things to them but I think it is also important to show appreciation for the little blighters because they are so fabulous when done right.

This week the challenge was to use synonyms for GREEN and PATIENCE I used VERDENT and SUFFERENCE.

Verdent and waiting

Her sufferenace nearing end

and cold chains released

Warm, I watch her slow brush strokes

bringing the landscape to life

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Slim & Chance

Let’s keep it simple shall we.

Ronovan provides the words. Then a haiku follows

 

One day I’ll be slim

the chance is good I reckon

should I contract aids

Screwing you haiku

Surprise!

The haiku, so proud, tight, formal. So little saying so much. Mostly though I like to defile them with the ridiculous. Oh, and I know they’re probably Senryu. I struggle with boundaries a bit.

 

 

he calls her name loud

back arched, the throes of passion

she stirs from her sleep

Screw you haiku

Another day another silly haiku thing…

Shared bathroom shelving

lotions, potions spill over

Golden her embrace

and with warmth does hearts restore

embers awakens

yet in her passing cold creeps

and once more restores her reign

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Sneak & Night

Let’s keep it simple shall we.

Ronovan provides the words. Then a haiku follows

Loves light calls at night

young heart sneaks in, passions burn

wrong room, fondles mum

Long legged beauty

Slender, shapely, long necked

Dirty giraffe thoughts
