Haiku Weekly

Haiku Weekly will now be published every Monday, in order to incorporate Saturday and Sunday's Word of the Day. It will also allow me to publish the blog post in the morning irrelevant of time zones.

I hope you enjoy this week's haiku and I look forward to reading your own creations.

Monday: bumbershoot

For this heavy rain

Only bumbershoot will do -

No flimsy brollies!

Tuesday: shrive

The penitent man

Beseeches the priest to shrive

And accepts penance.

Wednesday: malfeasance

Unfailingly good,

Tempted not with malfeasance.

A man you can trust.

Thursday: crocodilian

Cries "Intolerance!"

Other's views dismissed. Oh how

Crocodilian!

Friday: hydra

Nine headed serpent,

One becomes two when cut off.

Hydra hides in marsh.

Saturday: lotus-eater

The lotus-eater:

Oblivious day dreamer

Leads to fruitless life.

Sunday: salaam

Arabic neighbours

Greet one another with peace:

Salaam Alaikum.
