Writing simple Haiku-like poems is very enjoyable as I found out yesterday. I only did one because it was short and I didn't have the time to try to write a proper poem ! So I thought I'd try a few more, inspired by some unused pics in my collection.
Pubs
Laughter and voices
The froth of beer from the tap
Escape from the world
The Lottery
I wish this was mine
As I admire the facade
But I need to win
Flowerbed in Summer
The flowers draw us
To sit and talk in the sun
The circle of life
Meadow
Through the arch of leaves
The light of the buttercups
A new world beyond
A new world beyond
He Sees His Mum In The Audience
My school assembly
I walked in and saw your hair
I like you Mum
Frances has kindly given me a link which I will look at to see how you do it properly and then I might do some more tomorrow.

Oh you sneaky girl you. But I do love the way you applied the haiku to the photos you took. I love haiku but don't have clue about the rules. It all sounds good to me.
Bev, thats mean! You changed it and called me pedantic :-(
I realised I was being an anorak, hence my comment.
Anyhow, I said I really liked it, and the new ones are awesome too (and follow the rules :-) ).
Keep it up, its a talent, and I want to read more!
I think you are still mad because I beat you at trivial pursuit.(Hey that 17 sylables, is it a poem?)
Bez, I took the comment in the way it was intended. You are obviously a teacher, but a funny one lol
Good for you, Bev. Nice one. Like the pomes as well.
Tee hee - Bez has no chance in the battle of the intellects. Sneakiness wins every time.
Bev, Frances, you are ganging up on me! I might not play anymore!
oh go on - u love it - at least ur getting noticed LOL
Frances, I like your new computer lingo.
I'm reet street as they say in Dewsbury.
Hi Beverly,

It certainly is a poem Bez, following the ancient Japanese rules of haiku which call for 17 syllable. The (7,5,7) is the English imitation. How come you are such an expert on haiku.
I like that line, because it is a classic understatement, or something...
