I hate Haiku

The HAWMC topic for today is to write a haiku about your health focus.  I hate haiku (haikus?) – see I don’t even know what the plural of “haiku” is, nor do I really care. LOL For some reason I’ve always hated them. I knew that when I got out of school, I would never write another haiku. Because this is my blog and I can write whatever I want here, today I decided to write a silly poem about my feelings about the dreaded haiku.

So without further ado,

here is my poem, “I Hate Haiku.”

I hate haiku.
I really do.

I won’t write one.
I won’t write two.

WEGO asked me to follow through.
But I won’t, not even for you.

I tried in school.
I looked a fool.

“Oh my!” the teacher said, ”This just won’t do.”
“Oh and this, it’s wrong too.”

And with that,
out the dreaded red pen came.

There I sat,
as she said my name.

I don’t get it, “What’s the point?” I said.
I’d really rather go back to bed.

Than write a haiku,
even for you.

I hate haiku.
I really do.

I won’t write one.
I won’t write two.

My school days are through.
There will be no more haiku.

:)

    Great poem! I hate haikus, too, yes I do. I will not write them in a box, I will not write them with a fox.
    (apologies to Dr. Seuss!)
