Your fidelity is outstanding, darling.

I hope, even if I'm not rewarded in this life, I'll be rewarded in the next.

I would join in but I feel it's over my head, all that poetry stuff.

Alan - Haiku's are for everyone who can count syllables. I have faith in your intellect! Give it a try.

Alan Fisher said...

what's a silabul?

Minge said...

It's like the beat count of a word, Alan. Alan has two - Al-an. Fabulous has three - fab-u-lous. Get it?

Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry. It doesn't have to rhyme, but these are the rules:

The first line must have five syllables, the second must have seven and the third line, five again.

It should contain something about a particular season, but that's really ignored these days, especially when written in a language other than Japanese.

Go on, give it a try!

You write a haiku on the topic given by the last person to contribute, then you give the topic for the next person, and so on. Go on, you know you want to.

I'd rather vomit
down the front of my t-shirt
then eat it all up

Minge said...

Well done!

Alan Fisher said...

I bet you counted the siluble things to make sure I'd got it right!

You know Minge so well.
