Howye fokes

It's been so long, I've no idea what ta say. Me inspiration and me wordyness seems ta have left me. "Circus Animils Disertion" as me pal WB from the Yates family once said.

Anyways, I liked them haiku yokes a while back and I was thinken I could have a go at one of them fer starters. I taught of a grate one last night - but alas I ferget it now. Poor Ted.

Sure this will do while I'm waiten fer it ta return:

I had a haiku in me
head last night. But now
It's gone, gone, gone. Gone.

Be seein ya

Cheers,

Rube

I lost me wordy powers fer a while.

Glad to see they're back in full force then.

Are ya goen ta write one of them haiku yokes?

Sheesh, GTed, what's a girl to do? I already spent an immense amount of energy writing the last one... you want more?

GallantTed can read
a post with haiku in it
but misses the point.

Welcome, GallantTed,
Back to the fold: just try not
To trip over the staples.


(It's no good! No mat
Ter what I do, I can't get
These damn poems to rhyme!)


BTW

Do you say "Haiku"
As an elevated line
Or "Hello, my Dove?"

Posted By: Jackie Re: Circus animals - 07/23/02 11:33 AM
My Dearest Rhubarb,
Invariably I say
"Hello, Dove"; dew you?

Howye folkes

There was a revolt
in the barn; the silage lost.
It was a hay coup.

I know, I know, don't tell me - there's no "f" in phoneticks.
