  • Comment from author about the poem: I dont like haiku or any other intrusion of arithmetic into the art which is poetry. For me poetry should be pure expression of feeling which arithmetic is not LOL... but sometimes you just have to have a go dontcha? Couldn't resist the picture. Have a great weekend.

    Very nice Haiku and cute pictures to boot! Great job!

    • dusk arising

      I'll try anything for a laugh.

      not that bad is it?
      writing haikus can be fun!
      so why not write more?

      • dusk arising

        I probably will but i'm being told off cos haikus are subject specific apparently.... arithmetic was never my strong point. Until japanese calculators came along, now it's japanese poetry... Ah-so.

          I write loads but I call them 575s to avoid the purists having a go. Could call them senrykus I suppose.

          • Michael Edwards

            Or haikryus.

              How about dyslexirus

            • Rozina

              Excellent job! I think haiku/senryu is difficult because a whole completed message/story has to be packed into 17 syllables as Teddy said. But it can be stunning. Cute pictures too.

                I might have to stay with limericks.

                Haiku - 5/7/5 written about Nature#
                Senryu - 5/7/5 written about emotion
                Goldliku 5/7/5 written by me when not either a haiku or senryu.
                So this one could be a duskiku - a new form of 5/7/5. LOL

                  Would you settle for a dyslexiku?

                  Defo, less is best, and that's just the maths part.

                  • dusk arising

                    Less maths suits me fine.
