There's only one thing
To do with a noisy cock
Tasty chicken stew

Oh, I dunno, Pa
Noisy cock? Only one thing?
There might be others
How many strings on
Uke? The answer, my friend is
Blowing in the wind

The haiku contest
It seems just like yesterday
I came in dead last.
One minute per song
Or should I say a songlet
Lets all just have fun
Dark, hot and humid
He lurks deep in the shadows
Entertaining dreams
:drool:
Who are you, dark night?
The rainclouds start to gather
And shower much drool.
The BDU’s Haiku Songlet
A songlet of nought
Please play it for Miss JooJoo
With Mr. Doug’s UKE.
Brown paper trousers
Work well in Texas’s dust storm
But not when it rains.
I'm writing some proper Haiku now...in the 5,7,5 structure...
and also trying to juxtapose 2 unlikely things as would a Haiku...
That's not so easy...
but the hardest part is to put melody over it.
Songs are easier to write!!!

This Ha'i'ku Is based on a reference to a John Milton poem which coined the phrase "I Tripped the Light Fantastic", (sort of). How does one trip over light? Play a poem? Ears smile? These are not concepts or ideas. Hopefully they will emote feelings.
You will note this is an unconventional English Haiku. It is not 5-7-5, It is 7-5-7. For me the Rhythm or meter is important in poetry, or any spoken art form. The Japanese have more sounds in their syllables anyway; but although much Nipponese poetry has more than three lines it is frequently in line lengths of 5 and 7 sound lines. Greek epic poetry is the same way it has variable foot length.

Karen Lee New(Wo)man And I sing this song for the Kids at Fort Hunter. I remember the day we made it up. The Rockville Bridge is not the longest stone arch bridge any more but it is the Longest Stone Arch Rail Road Bridge.

A Gray Day in July:
Cloud flies in Gray sky
Monarch Butterflies go home
I sing the Seasons

A portion of a song I wrote...
Crawl, cry. I’ve been disappearing.
Yes, I doubt his misunderstood ways
Unfit shakes my temperance
Somewhat because of He
Vast is his dawn
Those bruises I have had them all
Resentment moves this dying flower

Music tries to fill
The chalice of my being
Emptiness endures

Emptiness endures
