Hi,
Anybody want to send me a spring-themed haiku? Your own work or just something you read and enjoyed. You send it as a 'comment' by clicking below, or as a private email message. Please say if you don't want me to post it on the blog.

There are three lines, the syllables go 5,7,5 and it really ought to be concerned with nature, an emotion, a season and (in the last line) a contrast of some kind.

This is one of my favourite poems, it's by Wendy Cope, from the book If I Don't Know (2001, Faber & Faber):

HAIKU: ON LOOKING OUT OF THE BACK BEDROOM WINDOW WITHOUT MY GLASSES

What's that amazing
new lemon-yellow flower?
Oh yes, a football.


Love A
