The above is a haikai, which is a linked series of haiku forming one poem. Traditionally, this form is comic; haikai no renga, so please, creationist, evolutionists, and scientists, do treat it as a bit of tongue in cheek fun rather than anything too serious.

One thing I’ve never really been able to do. Or rather, could not bother to sit and puzzle out – a proper poem. and you take it to the next step and puzzle out the syllables – for three of them…
Well done Sarah 😉

Thanks, Ghia 🙂 I enjoy a strict syllable count, provided it doesn’t call for strict rhyming as well. That really does my head in. As for my free verse — it is utterly hopeless.

Are you going to have a go writing a haikai, now you know they exist? As a form, they lend well to quirky verses, which seems just the ticket for Mr Bunny who often makes me laugh!

Oh I do like to play with new forms. I quite like subverting them too.
