Assorted senryu, Vol II
A collection of my ramblings on Twitter. I hope these amuse, entertain or annoy you, maybe even enough to leave a comment.
---
nothing will
fill your heart with joy
like the midday sun
---
eying icy steps
gathering up my courage
a downhill struggle
---
walking on the brink
the cat was pushing it's luck
ended up in drink
---
in front of TV
about to bow to the gods
of wasted time
---
inexplicable
I have no explanation
yet it all makes sense
---
birch trees at dusk
darkness trying to teach
the sun a lesson
---
to teach is to show
just like writing a haiku
no explanation
---
to teach is to show
much like to write a haiku
do not tell
---
an online swindle
computer hacked, I struggle
with con's science
---
you're never too old
to teach an elderly dog
new tricks
---
finish a verse
get the syllables to match
bask in false glory
---
that's my book started
all it took was pondering
twenty years is nowt
---
old or young
the proverbial dog
always learns
---
some of us ought to
drink from the fountain of couth
to trump lunacy
---
a haiku a day
keeps the noggin doctor at...
the starting blocks
---
to believe in fate
a bit like trusting a farm
only with a tee
---
trying to billow
brain the size of a planet
coming up with wisps
---
frosty the snowman
asks for no explanation
winks knowlingly
---
snowing sideways
duvet day is my protest
the world can wait
---
a startled cat
photographer in search of
the purrrfect shot
---
the challenge I have
come up with a funny line
failed -- boom-no-tish!
---
two thousand haiku
all I've got to show for it
a loaf of stale poems
---
--- Some Science Haiku, i.e. Sciku. I see these more as senryu than haiku: ---
may every force be
with equal and opposite
as well as with you
---
rim and corona
total eclipse of the sun
the brightest diamond
---
rim and corona
while the sun joins the dark side
brightest diamond shines
---
medieval jewel
primitive planetarium
astronomical!

primitive planetarium

---
--- Yes, it really was National Cheeselovers' Day somewhere in or around Twitterland: ---
a very merry
#nationalcheeseloversday
primary dairy
---
--- Murdoch / Mrs Merton thingie: ---
no need to wonder
what attracted Jerry to
the millioneer guy
---
--- An old joke turned into senryu: ---
Just can't put it down
I'm reading a book about
antigravity
---
--- This one loses its effect without the associated photo of the "ICY" licence plate in the snow: ---
a licence plate
states bleeding obvious
the cheeky blinder
---
--- Project Runway assessment: ---
designers bitching
outcamping each other
make it work!
---
--- Three senryu to the prompt "Venetian" ---
a venetian mask
fit for pantalone
no one to hide from
---
how to compile
the uncompilable verse
I no speak venetian!
---
tintoretto paints
like a good samaritan
or venetian
