As complex as simple is.
“Wade in the water”,
Eva Cassidy sang it,
Such a good version.
Lost my phone charger,
On laptop now, so clunky,
But it does the job!
My tea’s always black,
A little sugar maybe,
Taste those great flavours.
Neat Haiku patterns,
These need to be messed up more,
Some long and short lines.
It’s for the challenge,
To be doing it daily,
The pages pile up.
Where is your Haiku?
What does it say, what’s it like?
Can I help with that?
Plenty of options,
And ideas to construct,
Your Haiku poem.
New to this? That’s fine!
Only for fun – Create it!
Where will you use it?
The train’s just pulled in,
People get ready to leave.
The day now begins.

There’re things to get done,
Wash clothes and tidy, not fun.
And checking my phone.
Is anyone out there,
That like Haiku or don’t care.
I am addicted.
Haiku poems flow,
In any way, they find to go,
I follow on slow.
Well, it’s coming on,
I’ve got a few good Haiku,
Some are really good.
Some are not so good,
I expect that but I try.
Improvement the goal.
Any topic’s game,
I’ll write Haiku lame or tame,
I’ll write great the same.
Haiku poems flow,
Where they’re from and where they’ll go,
The River will show.
They come with the rain,
The wind, sun and cloudy days
And play in the night.
The river winding,
Crosses the road and slips off,
Lost in its passing.
Ask me what i do,
Yes i write Haiku poems,
I also do rhyme.
Its getting late now
Time for bed and some good sleep,
Catch me tomorrow.
I am taking the opportunity to explain some of my thinking. Yes, it is wacky and little far out there, but I am comfortable with this.
I enjoy finding new right-sounding names for people in the news, Cycle Mauve (Michael Gove) is the Ponderable Peck and Bury for the Environment, I think.
There is Bum Hole Bump (Donald Trump) and of course, a bum hole bump is known as piles or to some ‘a pain in the ass’.
There is Borish Pun Son (Boris Johnson) and of course Too Greasy Grey the Grime Grinster (I will let you work that one out). It could also be Too Easy Day the Lime Ginster.
This is not about Haiku but they complement and enhance this Haiku Book. I still have to stay faithful to the 5, 7, 5 formats for the Haiku.
The Haiku’s my thing
I’ll do one or two daily,
On something I like.
A Haiku poem,
As complex as simple is.
As simple as life.
I need to write more,
The pen needs to kiss the page.
The words will follow.

The last few minutes,
Challenge me to write Haiku,
Good or bad – that’s it!
I shall be mostly updating this site when I am on the go, using my mobile phone. I will be keeping it short and maybe refining it later in the day or at the weekend.
Haiku 09/11/18
A haiku poem
As complex as simple is
As simple as life
For me, this sums it up. Taking the every day and seeing more in it, or challenging for what it is or for what it can be.
Got a thought or Haiku poem to share – make a comment, or if you prefer to send me an email, then email Poem@ this website address.
I write it like this to stop the internet spiders from grabbing my email address and then getting loads of spam.
I need to write more,
The blue pen needs to kiss the page,
Right words will follow.
This is the start of my daily blog, an Haiku poem everyday. I hope that something in the site will keep your interest, and even participation.
One a day will mean 365 Haiku poems in the next year, and with so many poems there will be many different topic areas covered.
It is my plan to publish these Haiku poems in their topic areas with between 100 to 150 Haiku poems in each book.
I want to illustrate each book well with images drawn, sketched, painted and photographed, to compliment the words.
Join me on my Haiku quest!
