All the haikus are now up

http://alaricsp.github.com/wopowrimo has ’em all!

Well, that was fun. I may pen the odd haiku in future, in fact.

Well done everybody! 🙂

Lemon

What rhymes with lemon?
Women
Yemen
Demon (if you pronounce it wrong).

What tastes better with lemon?
What doesn’t?

Aaah…

An empty playground —
Two schoolboys
Pissing with heads thrown back.
The setting sun turns yellow arcs
Into scimitars of gold,
The boys into triumphant warriors:
Another day of survival on the battleground.

SLEEP

She sat upon the edge of the bed

Desperate for some sleep

She gave a cough

And then dropped off

To sleep and sleep and sleep

MY POETRY

Now the end is clearly near

I see the finish line

I thank you for this opportunity

To share with you my rhyme

Whether it’s deemed as very good

or only passing fair

I have enjoyed it and will rhyme some more

All the time and everywhere

THE CANDLES LIGHT

There’s a candle in your window

Is it waiting there for me

Shall I come along and visit

Is it me you want to see?

The hour is midnight

The candle fades and dies

Was there just to light  the path

Please tell me no lies

The candle just went out you say

No wick was left to burn

Yes the candle was there for me

Now to your I will return

CHEER UP

When you’re feeling lonely

When you’re feeling sad

Think of all the good things you have

Then you may not feel so bad

COME TO TEA

Will you come to our house

Will you come to tea

Will you come  and eat with us

My husband, Fred and me

Yes we’ll come to your house

Yes we’ll come to tea

Yes we’ll come and eat ith you

My brother Ted and me

A ROBIN

I saw a robin resting on a post

Snow was all around

It sat there very happily

and then flew down to the ground

Will he find some food today

not very much I fear

But remember when you put food out

Make it small for them

And perhaps he’ll be back next year

MY HUSBAND

My husband is a nice man

My husband is a boff

My husband had a cold this week

With an awful hacking cough

Will you take to your bed dear

Till better you may be

“No, I have a lot to do

and a lot to see”

My husband is caring man

and when he recovers from his cough

We’ll have a few days away

and he’ll be better sure enough
