    Oh lazy Sunday
    Why can't you last forever?
    On to dumb Monday.
    .

    There you go again.
    Beating up on poor Monday.
    She can't catch a break.

    Should I be sorry?
    No, Monday is sucking *kitten*.
    It will be done soon.

    Embracing Monday.
    That may be a start. Right now;
    Try accepting her.

    Hey, I remember...
    Someone hating on Monday
    Not too long ago ;)

    Your friend, the poet?
    Perhaps you misunderstood.
    Or off key was I.

    But then again they all are
    Maybe time for change

    Perhaps some Prozac?
    Norpramin or Sarafem??
    For new perspectives....

    Not too big on pills
    Maybe change of scenery
    Like a vacation

    I stare at the wall
    while drinking a glass of wine.
    thats vacation time.

    I lock myself in.
    Bathroom works well, turn on sound.
    Stare out the window.

    That sounds like a thrill
    Until the room starts to spin
    Please pour me a glass

    Liquor in bathroom.

    haiku is missing
    snatched away by senryu
    revival is nigh This is SENRYU

    THESE are Haiku
    cold dark weeping cloak
    blankets every hill and dale
    winter creeps nearer

    scrambling fingers stretched
    reaching after fleeing leaves
    storm torn dancing gold

    golden fluttering
    settles to fills ev'ry hollow
    along woodland paths

    NB: Point of interest.
    Haiku subject matter should be Nature.
    The form is called Senryu when the subject is something other than Nature.

    when daylight arrives
    spirit wakes to greet the day
    body murmurs no

    duvet days appeal
    turns industry slattern
    with alacrity

    It's not uncommon
    To depict daily events
    In standard haiku

    :lol: It is the prerogative of common man to ignore convention. :lol:

    Nevertheless

    they are not haiku
    though they are often named thus
    senryu they are
    Senryu is a three line Japanese poem that is structurally similar to haiku poetry. So 17 syllables or less. It differs from Haiku because it's subject matter much more concerned with human nature and satiric humour.

    Deep breaths in and out,
    Some people are just numpties.
    It's nearly Friday.

    Many things I've read
    Speak of haiku in free form
    varied in topic.
    A Haiku is a Japanese poem which can also be known as a Hokku. A Haiku poem is similar to a Tanka but has fewer lines. A Haiku is a type of poetry that can be written on many themes, from love to nature.

    I do what I want
    I am a haiku rebel
    that is how I roll

    Dangerous living.
    Rebelling against the norm.
    I knew I liked you.

    What is a numpty?
    Is it contagious. Or not?
    It doesn't sound good.

    Ineffectual,
    A numpty is known to be.
    Or simply, stupid.
