it's always reassuring

5 - 7 - 5
Welcome to the haiku club
Haiku are a form of Japanese poetry that are written in three lines with a syllable count of five, seven, five. But don't let that stop you writing whatever you like. There are no fascists here and any contribution you wish to make is welcome. Here we seek the sublime, and if we can't have that, we'll just have a laugh. It's all good.
With the current picture as your inspiration, pile in to the comments and have a go. At the end of the week I pick five and put them on the front page.
As the Japanese say - Let's enjoyment haiku!
selfishness.......selflessness
Everything here is an expression of this continuum. Otherwise, the only certainty is change.

so much time has passed
and not a single haiku
what a dud photo
Tram, ten minutes late
Take a picture of my watch
So we will have proof
Then send it off fast
To the lawyer and we'll sue
The tram company blind
eh, lame photo lame haiku...
(pardon me)
time is running out
as spring soon turns to the fall
all quiet for now
Inspiration comes.
I've got it! Now, wait, I don't.
yup, this photo sucks.
der Schutte
These civilized streets
once teeming with busy Czechs
ruled by other hands

Brilliant Tycho Brahe
would have been very jealous
of such a timepiece

Waiting for the bus
wasting precious time as the
world is running down

If this pic were lame
the image would not possess
such composition
FB
The hour approaches
People are all off the streets
Waiting, waiting wait…

"Late! What does this say?"
“Huh, Timex, seventeen jewels
Made in Switzerland.”
A re run of a very old joke.
nothing left to chance
everything to be structured
who's watching who here
no matter the time
it's always reassuring
to find myself not dead
My arm is as big as a road
I could squash that little white car
easier than a big fat toad
Hullo Doug, you've been wandering around mate? I noticed your comments on some of those older church posts. Sorry your first go here was with such an ordinary picture. Apologies etc. it can be a bit hit and miss.
Thanks for your poem. Very jolly and a brilliant start.
Just so you know, ordinarily haiku have a syllable count of 5/7/5. Mind you, people break the rule as I did with the one preceding yours. (Were the pedants out there counting? of course!) If you really feel you must - do it.
Are you ofay on syllables? In case you're not your count was 8/8/8. Rhyming is neither here nor there but it's a treat when someone pulls it off. Me, I always do the mental golf clap thing. Anyway, see how you go on the next one.
Nobody, I was just in a creative mood and I thought these were just three line poems. I guess I should haveread about Haiku's to remind myself.
Sorry about that.
