Here’s my haiku for today, on the topic of Broody:
brooding is hard work
quick gossip over the worms
then back to sitting
It’s Haiku Friday again. For the past twenty years or so, it has been my practice to write one haiku every day. Every Friday I share a haiku here, about whatever topic I happen to choose. I invite you to write a haiku on this topic too, and share it with me and the readers of this blog. Just write it in the Comments below. The only rules are: 1) your haiku must be about the named topic; 2) you must follow the 5-7-5 syllable format; 3) no obscenities or hate (I will delete those). That’s it.
Ooh, that’s a tough one!
Ooh, that’s a tough one = five syllables! So that’s the first line done, right?
We can brag about our kids because the ladies do all the work:
Broody hens nurture.
Roosters? Cock-a-doodle-doo-ing
seems more our nature.
No offense, honey. You’re as slender as ever. Really!
Wife’s kinda broody.
Claims she’s not pregnant now, she’s
only a foodie.
How to keep a mirth mentor on his toes?
Brooding over Friday
haiku is as challenging
as hatching new jokes.
Oops. So challenged that I wasn’t counting my syllables in the final edit, so it’s gotta be a monosyllabic “o’er” instead of “o-ver”!
Brooding o’er Friday
haiku is as challenging
as hatching new jokes.
Recycled Hoosier:
a plethora of haiku
and funny to boot!
(Contractions are handy for haiku, aren’t they?)
