Screw you haiku 8 Feb 2018

Both serious and playful. The Japanese would not approve

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.

 

warm sun on my skin

drowsy, relaxed I slumber

awake lobster red

 

More stuff from my brain meat…

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Shy & Blush

life eh….

Ronovan provides the words. Then a haiku follows. Though mine are kinda haiku in form only and I believe senryu in every other way.

Shy wedding night bride

Red blush , blood flows to extremes

by morning less so

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: Bond & Seek

I don’t take many things seriously but I am going to make a concerted effort to do Colleen’s challenges properly.

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 BOND and SEEK.  I used Love and Search.  Does ‘t quite tick all the boxes but it’s something.


Grey sky and sea merge

Love lost beyond horizons

searching and waiting

eyes closed she feels cold waves crash

lost at sea but still she hopes

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Body & Close

Don’t like it? That’s because it’s true.

Ronovan provides the words.  Then a haiku follows.  Though mine are kinda haiku in form only and I believe senryu in every other way and this week there are two.  The second to get the taste of the first out of your mouth.

 

Body close to hers

warm hands on cold clammy skin

necrophiliac

 

quick read this

 

Close the curtains please

late night fridge trip, body shows

need to bleach my eyes

Second amendment

It’s your right to bare arms

and murder school kids.

Seems there was another school shooting in Kentucky.  Seriously people…

Clown.  Joyful japing

smiles on the face of children

but dying inside

 

and maybe one more

 

Evening on red wine

Glug glug glug glass after glass

mouth like a sex doll

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Sing & Peace

Don’t like it? That’s because it’s true.

they sing his praises

Peace in the name of their god

and then rape children

 

Harsh but true.  I think it’s about time people stopped using the phrase ‘Child Abuse’ and call it what it is.  Child Rape.  Yeah, you know who they are…

https://ronovanwrites.com/2018/01/22/ronovanwrites-weekly-haiku-poetry-prompt-challenge-185-singpeace/

 

 

Well that’s just super…

Kids. Honestly.

My dear children

I want the best for you but…

some days you are thick

Sorry thats the best I can do.   It is ten to ten and the eldest just told me he needs 6 sheets of filo, ricotta and spring onions for school tomorrow.  I want nothing more to shout and protest and stomp my feet as I was about to get in bed after this post but now I am off to the Tesco just up the road.  If they dont have it then I am going to the store in the next town.  But that’s ok right because I am an awesome dad.

I don’t feel it, I want to make him get dressed and go himself.  Oh, did I mention it’s snowing?  Yeah.  Loads.  Id happily watch him drag his forgetful arse out in a blizzard and drive behind him shouting valuable life lessons out the window.

I can just imagine his snow chilled little face pleading to get in the car as I bellow instructions about how to put up a shelf an how to make a good first impression.

What is more annoying though is that I knew it was food tech tomorrow and forgot to check what he needs.  So really I need to shout at myself.  But I am way past learning.

Stupid idiots the lot of us.  Right, where are my clothes I better get dressed again.

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Press and Touch

Haiku challenge using press and touch…

Ronovan provides the words.  Then a haiku follows.  Though mine are kinda haiku in form only and I believe senryu in every other way.

Cold winds press my cheeks

icy fingers painting white

earth feels winters touch.

Yeah see and you thought it would be all weird because it was press and touch right.  Something along the lines of…

an unwelcomed touch

my name is kevin spacey

“pervert!” say the press

But I am better than that.  I am.  Honest.

Feel the balance baby!

Sweet scent of young love

In full bloom, unwatered

withers to nothing

see I can kinda do a normal one…

 

smile creeps across face

others wear mask of disgust

each loves his own farts

 

Aah that’s better.  A little balance restored to the force…

Haiku challenge using ‘Short’ and ‘Sexy’. I feel I may be being set up…

Ronovan provides the words.  Then a haiku follows.  Though mine are kinda haiku in form only and I believe senryu in every other way.

 

hope springs eternal

like magic it inspires

until you give up

Oh lordy that was a bit bleak wasn’t it.

She feels the magic

first impressions electric

and hopes he’s not gay

Hmm no still a bit dour

Walt’s magic kingdom

bringing hope for sick children

a treat before death

Oh I think maybe I should just give up today.   There was such potential for merriment and hope and things of beauty.  

😉

It’s time for another of Ronovan’s haiku challenges.

Slow and sensual

lights dimmed, Kenny G playing

blissful carpet burns

Cautionary limericks and one about that orange fool

just a few bits and pieces

 

 

A chap with a taste for wild nights

bought a hooker in basque and black tights

unprotected he played

wife found out that he’d strayed

came home scratched and all covered in bites

 

Young lovers but still in their teens

hormones on fire and tight jeans

got knocked up by mistake

what a big one to make

Oh well, so much for all of your dreams

 

A POTUS hailed “Son of a bitch”

as the players stood firm on the pitch

don’t you dare take a knee

it’s offensive to me

and my white privileged buddies, all rich

 


 

Blanketed in bliss

Fatties in space – The Poem. Not for kiddies

Screw you Haiku

Daily Haiku’s are so last month.  I think it’s time to bring back a more meaty haiku ensemble a little less frequently.

Daily Haiku’s are so last month.  I think it’s time to bring back a more meaty haiku ensemble a little less frequently.  The deal was to take the rather serious haiku form and treat it with a little disrespect and hopefully a dash of humour. 


Secret Santa? No?

You make baby Jesus cry

Ebeneezer scrooge!

 

Doing shots, fun times

Chug chug, life of the party

threw up on the bed

 

Oh bugger my subconscious seems to be wandering to Christmas already.  No, no, no – that simply will not do!  

 

Got the kids a dog

cavorting, barks of delight

urine stained carpets

 

Taking out the trash

cabbage juice on my good shoes

bloody cheap bin bags

 

That’s more like it.  tales of the mundane.  Maybe 3 more.  That’s like a weeks worth of daily late night haiku right there.  

Need inspiration

Check Donald T’s twitter feed

juices flowing now

 

Donald: Players must stand

Women, non whites, poor, sick and

Muslim can kneel though

 

Oh Orange moron

with your juicy puckered lips

just ripe for prison

 

I know, enough is enough.
