CD Haikus

[Marti]

Have you ever tried your hand at a haiku? I’m no expert but in simple terms a haiku is 3 lines long. The 1st and 3rd are composed of 5 syllables, and the second has 7. It’s quite usual to have a ‘natural’ reference, e.g. sun, seasons, mountains. It doesn’t rhyme, and often comes across a bit cryptic. All a bit Zen!

That’s it really. I’ll post the one I’ve just written. I’ve weaved in a slight cd reference. I’m not claiming it’s any good, but what the …

If anyone wants to add their own, that’d be wonderful.

To dress or not to dress is the question,

Marti- am I right in assuming haikus have no capitals at start of line?

If not- there is an added sense of connection – but to where and what?
A good plot maybe?

Lol, no idea about what’s ‘right’. But yes, no reason to capitalize if the lines flow. As for plots, the haikus I like best are the ones that make you go “eh?”.

Too true,Marti. I blame it on the government. I was once asked what are the principles of teaching music . One of them is to create an avenue for enjoyment through accomplishment, A government advisor said to me – : there is no priority that includes enjoyment. I nearly threw my teddy at him. Good God, what other incentive matters more ???

We analyse and forget to enjoy. Well reminded, Marti.
