Let’s lower the tone shall we…
The serious art of the haiku defiled with everyday shenanigans. Okay they’re senryu at best but ‘Screw you Senryu’ doesn’t work as well.
First time, loves young dream
She sends a note: I need you
He arrives early
Just a little something to lighten the mood…

Cold sweats eyes water
home made tikka masala
misjudged the spicing
Just a little something to lighten the mood…

curse of beige trousers
urinal awaits hungry
a splashback nightmare
Just a little something to lighten the mood…

Children wriggling
You sure you don’t need the loo?
that’s the toilet dance…
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.
I’ll try to singe them…
Deep subcutaneous burns
Can’t kill crabs with fire.

A knock at the door
unexpected guest nightmare
Horror, fake good will
Haiku challenge using ‘Short’ and ‘Sexy’. I feel I may be being set up…
It’s time for another of Ronovan’s haiku challenges.
Slow and sensual
lights dimmed, Kenny G playing
blissful carpet burns
Just a little something to lighten the mood…
The serious art of the haiku defiled with everyday shenanigans. Or is it senryu? Meh…
Brown boats in the sun
Slowly I watch them pass by
Sewer overflow
Gold summer showers
Trickling down orange skin
hospitality
Still drunk eyes open
the stranger in the bed wears
the face of regret
Eighties Hub insists
Got aids from a toilet seat
A likely story
I do rather like a good haiku challenge. Gives me something to defile, because I do rather like a jolly good defiling.
2 words. Haiku. Simples.
Spooky chilling ghoul
at night hovers over me
god, put make up on
Spooky spectral fright
whispers in the dead of night
noise under my bed
Spooky tap…tap…tap…
light on cutting through the night
clown at the window
spooky child’s giggles
patter of feet in the night
baby died last year

So when is a haiku about a disease you picked up overseas not actually a haiku?
When I started this writing lark I was rather conscious of befouling the wonderful art of the haiku. Mine are rather non traditional and as far as haiku go really only conform to the syllable construct. Thanks to Colleen I have since discovered the senryu which is probably more akin to what I’ve been writing,
Senryu (also called human haiku) is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all. Senryu is usually written in the present tense and only references to some aspect of human nature or emotions.
So without further ado a few senryu. Given I’m enjoying some time in Portugal I thought I would write about diseases picked up whilst abroad.
Oh throbbing red lump
Wriggling underneath the skin
Bursts spewing spiders
Delights of Delhi
Arse on toilet head in sink
Don’t drink the water
Ladyboy surprise
Guess I;ll try anything once
Sphincter quite destroyed
Amsterdam delights
Toasted, red lit buxom wench
Need penicillin
Afterwards
