British Haiku

Trivial Pursuit?
Yes please! The thrill as cartwheels
Fill with coloured cheese.

King Lear, once great, rent
With grief, laments his fate on
The desolate heath.

#haikufeels

In bed together
To get some sleep, they found there
Was some mission creep.

Her skeletal frame
Brought catwalk fame; from then on
She was not the same.

#haikufeels

Strange elation’s found,
Catching leaves from trees so they’ll
Never touch the ground.

Burning hot desert
The Sphinx through haze extends its
Endless eyeless gaze.

#haikufeels

Glossy wooden globes
Like nuts in white nougat prized
From spiky coatings.

Her face when she failed
At Wordle made the milk in
Her cornflakes curdle.

#haikufeels

Leaves fall down from ash
And oak, to curl up brown and
Burn with curling smoke.

There, pressed on the page,
Relic of a bygone age,
A four leafed clover.

#haikufeels

Dark forces come to
Seize his crown, but the king stands
Strong and won’t go down.

Raucously squawking,
Squabbling crows, scattering,
Screeching off they go.

#haikufeels

Glide down, russet brown.
Settle gently on the ground
In leafy silence.

Thank you, tamisar 🙏

Little Green Courgette
Baby, you grew too fast - and
Now you’re a marrow.

#haikufeels

He ran corporate
Events: there’s bitterness there
If you look closely.

Limericks about
Jacinta predictably
Involve a splinter.

#haikufeels

Flu jabs from labs of
Oxbridge boffins sent to stop
The nation coughin’

Oh, ghastly celeb
Your time has come…..to exit
Strictly in Round One

#haikufeels

On their gym treadmill
Jack and Jill are still going
Running Up That Hill.

He’s fêted as a
Sweaty rat? No, I think they’ve
Misspelled (missmelled?) that. .

Personal trainer
Works out the best work out for
Person in trainers.

Good friends with good boots
Rambling on forever
Up hill and down dale.

#haikufeels

In marathons Kate’s
Personal best is five grand
Raised in a pink dress.

Playground events mould
Future nurses and policemen
And current teachers.

#haikufeels

Bathroom scales tell tales
To the surprised, who vow to
Take more exercise.

I am coarse, mine comes
With sauce. You are snooty, yours
Comes with velouté.
