i’m in trouble now…
i’ll be talking with someone
and my brain will shout,
‘hey! that’s a Haiku!’
my partner is not amused,
when my eyes go blank
in conversations.
‘but Scout, you said i should write…’
‘not when i’m talking!’
i hear everything
in five’s and in seventeen’s,
…..‘ooh, there’s another!’

🙂 it only goes downhill from here my friend 😉
well, i guess i can always blame Scout then!LOL!
nooo you only have yourself to blame 🙂
ha…well, you can’t blame a guy for tryin’ right? *smiles*
Genius sticker
hi Chas, so happy to see you on my pages. and thank you *blush*,
i’ll have to remember to show this wonderful compliment to Scout,
maybe she won’t scold me so much next time! LOL!
Oh wow that is adorable. X3
i’m so glad you liked it, the thing is, this happened.
my eyes did kinda’ go blank, Scout didn’t get mad but
she did have a good laugh when i had her read it.
Sugar sweet !
….yeah, i had a giggle writing this. .i lol at the cartoon..ty my friend for enjoying it as much as i do.
oh this is my favorite ..
next thing you know
scout will start barking orders
in five’s and seven’s.
oh, i thought you might, ty. i had fun with that one, but there is a lot of truth as you probably know, that syllable rythm is contagious! and i’ve been a very good boy lately, so only the dogs are barking these days.
you just wrote another haiku…if you leave off the last 2 words or rearrange.
you are a good boy
only scout knows for sure
will have to ask her.
uh oh, you and Scout talking…that sounds mildly dangerous,
maybe we should reconsider this idea..LOL!
LOL…you know scout would never say anything but good things about you.
yes, you’re right. she’s incredibly supportive and a great friend.
i don’t know where i’d be without her, errin.
believe me i know. i always walked around saying’my Bubbulah is my life.you know what i said that to my boyfriend. that lady isn’t far from wrong.yes she is…not the same thing.
’my Bubbulah is my life’
uuhh, do you notice anything familiar?
no .what?
7 syllables.
you’re kidding? lol. after i wrote that i realized what you were talking about , but i was wrong…i thought you meant my dog is my life was like the lady who didn’t want a muse with a dog, but it ‘s totally different, but that’s not what you meant.
Ah, not only is that a great example of Haiku it also teaches well, thanks for that 😉
ty for reading it, i giggled the whole way through.
and i love that retro cartoon!
oh my gosh, you reblogged this? ty so much, you made my day!
Phew, I did it and then realised that I really should have asked your permission first – you can tell that I’m new here 😉
oh please don’t worry Dawn, i’m so flattered. thank you so very much!
My pleasure.

It is with thanks to the author (who is very talented) that I know understand the concept of Haiku a little more and enjoyed a fine example. I couldn’t resist sharing this gem. Enjoy.
hehe.. funny haiku.. loved it!
hi Maddy and a warm welcome to you.
i’m glad you liked, i had a blast writing it!
oh, and Scout, my partner got a giggle too.
Loved this one 🙂
well, thank you Chess and a very warm welcome to you.
my brain actually does the syllable count automatically now,
i’ve become a captive to the Haiku form, a prisoner in my own head…LOL!
At least you get the Haiku in print, I fear poetry so I only get some decent lines in print once every couple of years.
hi Chess and very warm welcome to you.
ty for such honesty, and it’s kind of amazing you said you feared poetry,
because so have i…all my life as i feared love. i only began writing poetry,
after swallowing hard in April and posting ‘renewal’ for the 20 Lines a Day
poetry community. i got so much encouragement, i leaped into the abyss and
posted anothr, and here we are.
I haven’t written much of anything in the last four years but I was blessed 3 weeks ago with the opportunity to just get over myself. I had myself convinced that being out of practice would make it too hard to “reenter” but honestly, forcing myself to commit to the daily blog experiment and just find a few thoughts to share each day has already fostered an overwhelming desire to write, write, write, and write some more!!! I just need a little practice and I’ll get there…
write, write, write, and write some more!!!…i’m so happy for you!!!
and it’s fact. if not for the encouragement of my friends here, i would not be writing poetry.
you’ll find this community very nurturing and supportive, you’ll thrive here Chess.
Much thanks for your encouragement!
…oh, you are most welcome Chess, you can count on it from me….i believe in giving back what i’ve been given…and i recognize so much of my story in yours, former painter creatively dormant for too long, until Scout encouraged me to begin writing two years ago….so this morning when you said, ‘writing, writing,writing i so knew what you were saying, it’s my enthusiasm / obsession as well.
Obsession is an understatement, 😉
Ha…glad to hear it!..ditto.
