Brian BilstonFor today’s poetry offering, here’s an assortment of haiku.
Emma Kennedy@brianbilston ha ha! I love those
@EmmaKennedy Thanks, Emma!

@brianbilston I’m deeply worried by that numbering system. It makes me think you approach writing haikus like a pianist doing fingering exercises: something you have to do for a few minutes every day as a warm-up.
@mykd I have just written a lot of haiku. Done 46 of them already this morning.
@brianbilston Haha, your brain must feel like it’s full of bees now.
Juggling With Eggs@brianbilston haiku humour - love it!
wargravedave“Rock paper scissors”. Genius.
Jocelyn Sordoni@brianbilston love these. I once wrote 35 haiku on the subject of pies. They've all gone now.
@Josordoni Ha! That’s excellent work. Have the haiku gone or the pies - or both?
@brianbilston both! I did have a spread sheet of them. It was in the far distant past so I would have to dig deep to find them in the mud of my old excel sheets. You want some pie #haiku punnery?
@Josordoni Always up for that!
@brianbilston I've found them... For context, they were written in 2003 part of a Twitter competition for a friend of mine Sarah Pettegree who runs Brays Cottage Pork Pies. https://www.perfectpie.co.uk/
You want some pork love? (I would add that despite my intensity I didn't win. )

@Josordoni Ah, being a veggie might not make me very predisposed to pork pie offerings.
@brianbilston ah that’s true and even the unporky ones might be a problem since you know their provenance I will have to concoct some veggie offerings just for you
@Josordoni I’m very partial to leek and mushroom in a pie.
@brianbilston that sounds simply delicious!
If your front door leeks,
or your back door is truffled,
Your pie is banging 😋
@Josordoni Love it!
KizzyDaze@KizzyDaze It’s been six years now.
😂 😂 😂
You sound like my husband. And if I were to mention it more than twice over that six year period, I'd be nagging. Apparently.
Hugh Ashton@hughashton Delightful. Thank you, Hugh!
Salenagodden@brianbilston Hello Brian! Thanks for the follow my dear! Xx
@salenagodden Lovely to see you on here xx
Pierre_Z@brianbilston May be before your time, but in 1970s Sunday Times used to publish little rhymes/clerihews by Allan Lewis (AFGL). A favourite was:
A Communist Dictator is buried here.
Ex Marx Despot.

@Minchendenian Brilliant. I love that.
Paul Brookes@brianbilston Excellent.
Erin's Eerie Whysprs@Eerie_Whyspr Lovely. Thank you, Erin!
@brianbilston there are some non-porky ones in here...
This one, I was protesting the lack of seasonal references in the other entries. (Trad #haiku, I read, should have some allusion to the season)
Eat eat eat eat eat
Me me me me Now now now
now now less cold now
@Josordoni Ha! Nice work
Judy_Westley@brianbilston Let me try to write / This haiku for a stranger / Upon awaking
@brianbilston <blushing> Thanks!
Callum Stewart@brianbilston Absolutely love "The Constraints of Haiku". Didn't know it was possible to laugh so hard at 3 lines!
greenwayfoods@brianbilston "rock paper scissors".. Very nice..
Tony Watkins@brianbilston Love these! Brightened my day immensely!
Robert@brianbilston Scottish Haiku ‘Gonnae no dae that ,gonnae no’

DyslexicFeet@brianbilston
I think perhaps my favourite haiku is
To Sum Up The World
In Seventeen Syllables
Is Very Diffic.
