1/.
Halloween Haiku
Haunted house horror, hearing
'H' here, Hopeless. Hell!
2/.
Reading verse tonight
Open mic poetry slot
Not performing this
3/.
My picnic indoors
Not going alfresco
No ants in my food
4/.
Syllable missed out
Austerity ink measures
Haiku cut short
5/.
Austerity bites
Bills circle me like vultures
Bailiffs in the wings

We found ants in our pizza once. Ugh! No ants in your picnic.

@GreatMartin haiku is certainly easier to learn than ballet

@arthurchappell Like everything else whether it be classical music, opera, jazz, ballet, reading, etc., unless you are taught the fundamentals you stay away from it. Maybe some day.
