Here’s my haiku for today, on the topic of Bees:
you must be quiet
in Grandpa’s raspberry patch
the bees are singing
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.


(Best read with a cockney accent)
The bees sees me knees.
Me knees seize when I sees bees.
Now knees bee sting-ey!
My cockney would make a real cockney speaker cringe, but you’re right — your haiku is even better with the accent!
be careful sniffin’
bees can hide in the flowers
and their *hello* hurts
