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.

Last week's pic wasn't bad but none of them was what I would call a head on collision with the sublime, ha ha. I didn't even like mine that much. In the end I liked Su's the best and, syllable count or no, whacked it on the front page. Very good.
Does anyone know who's pic this is? If you do, feel free to write a haiku but don't spoil things by whacking his name in there and giving the game away. And if you don't know, all the better. Just write whatever the picture suggests to you. No constraints now, feel free to imagine all sorts of things. Faces are as much about what can't be seen as what can, if you can dig it.
vestiges of time
long harrowed wisdom to share
no one to listen
Other John - very spooky.

Weathered by the world
His furrowed brow displays the
Topography of soul

A sage ponders our
troubled times or maybe his
very troubled bowls.
I will have to stop doing these bodily function jokes, I kind of disapprove when others do them It's just that N puts up such provocative pictures.
a lifetime of lines
thoughts worries loves hates wants needs
etched in old man's face
serial killer?
papillon? james dean? jesus?
the face is a mask
Some things are just hard;
adversity and hardship,
and a good lemon.

Sorry FB, I'll try and find something less suggestive.
