I’m looking for them,
Those few words that run away,
Somewhere last weekend.
“What’s your point?”, I ask.
Staring at the pencil hard,
2B, maybe not.
I draw a thick line,
And to me that is 2B,
And then I smudge it.

Good luck, O My Hearties!
Wherever you roam, or drive,
And travel safely.
The old page was blank,
Except a faded corner,
Where some words appear.
The wheels on the bus,
Go round and round,
Round and round,
Enough of this now!

Here’s my masterpiece,
This small Haikus’ painted word.
Delicately placed.
Today is Thursday,
To some it’s Thors day, Thunder,
The Norse god of war.
Let’s do a third one,
The red sky outside distracts,
And paints better words.
Monday 07/10/19 Thinking
Everything can be,
Worked through,
Except how to live.
I’m working on that!
Pleasure in the job,
Puts perfection in the work.
That is very true!
All paid jobs absorb,
And degrade the mind, yes true,
It is for me too.
All inspired by the quotes of Aristotle.
Monday 31/12/18 explanation
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.

First Post
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!
