1/
I took up burlesque
A hook from the theatre wings
Hauled me off the stage
2/.
Having to go out
In a cold Autumn downpour
I still shower first
3/.
Remembrance Sunday
I still observe the silence
Though I’m here alone
4/.
September fading
Memory, dream, past, remote
distant as childhood
5/.
Clone War deserter
The yellow side of the force
Is strong with this one.

It is an act I keep trying to talk my burlesque friends into letting me do - me coming out starting to strip and being dragged off with hooks from the wings

@arthurchappell I enjoy your haikus especially number 4. I know that most likely writing many haikus is perhaps easier than writing
poems however I have always stuck to poetry in its poetic free style form. Perhaps it's time to also consider a haiku or two.

a literal translation is 'listen' but it is an amusing writing exercise originating in Feudal Japan, a short syllabic poetry exercise with a set 5,7,5 metre over three lines
