Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Grew worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
That was the end of
Solomon Grundy.
(19th century nursery rhyme I learned in the 50's)
Hoping for a better end to the week!
Recent readings on Haiku suggest that the equivalent to the 17 syllables of classic Japanese Haiku is around 15 syllables in English - because the entire structure of the character language is different.
Haiku about Human Nature, as opposed to nature are called Senryu
So here are a couple of free form ones
Plough rolls back
Green carpet
From chocolate earth
I am emperor
Of this empty
Starbucks
Scanning for familiar eyes
unlocking smiles
at airport arrivals
Welcome stranger
To put your makeup on
in my motorcycle mirror
