Short and Sour
It’s not that I don’t like you,
You’re just a bit like haiku:
Less is more
(but also, you’re a bore).
Exercise #18 (page 280)
This exercise was to write a haikus for each season, each including a kigo word (roughly, a reference to season, weather or atmosphere).
People seem to think
Spring is so fresh, bright and new.
All I see is mud.
That time of year when
Leisure outweighs the sweaty
Heat: it’s called summer.
The leaves flutter down,
Gracefully helpless in their
Seasonal descent.
Each home never so
Cozy as when the winter
Swirls coldly without.
Nail Polish Haiku
Nail polish chipping,
Flaking all over.
What a waste of time that was.
