FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD ~ DECONSTRUCTED HAIKU

 

 

I love HAIKU and for me the 17 SYLLABLE allocation imposes 

a verbal constraint which is good for any poet !  However I

think the 5 7 5 pattern is a constraint too far and can lead to

lack of clarity.  So The Society for Deconstructed English Haiku

decided (2010) that the 17 SYLLABLES could be arranged in any

order ~ and also that a soupcon  of rhyme was permitted !

 

CARBOHYDRATES (5 4 5 3)

CARBS for energy

biscuits ~ bread ~ cakes

eat ~ enjoy ~ keep fit

between breaks !

 

FATS (8 4 5)

FATS give energy and flavor

haddock and chips

are mine to savor !

 

MINERALS (7 10)

IRON ~ I need every day

ZINC ~ CALCIUM ~ POTASSIUM ~ OK

 

VITAMINS (4 9 4)

My heart laments 

Americans taking supplments

no need ~ just feed ! 

 

WATER (6 5 6)   

WATER is essential

five glasses a day

to wash the booze away !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN ~ XOX

 

I am on the list for decapitation by a SAMURI SWORD ~ Goodbyeeee !
