Japenese poetry, consisting normally of three lines- 5 x 7 x 5 syllables.

See what you can come up with...




-Within the tree top

Urinations sudden urge

Tiny yellow drops
 
From my lofty perch

I see beyond the hedges

Sunbathing beauty

-Wet line running knot

Muddy water on my lap

Climbing in the rain
 
Out to the branch tips
Feeling so free, here I go
Sudden rush of fear

-Oh my aching back

Might as well call Workman’s Comp

It’s thrown out again.
 
clumsy worker
always careless in your job
brother, can you spare a dime?
 
a clumsy worker
always careless in your job
brother, spot me ten
 
still ain't right snarfman
its five seven five ok
time to try again
 
live from this small town
the mighty hemlocks fall dead
and the bands play on
 
Sticks whip past my face
The searing pain hurts so bad
You suck, chuck 'n duck









:big-jump: :rockon: I did it, I did it, uh huh. uh huh

Bow down to me now
Kneel down to the one you serve
For I am your king!
 
In all my travels
The two things my eyes scout for
Are trees and water
 
here comes a light rain
the temps are well below freezing
we'll work tomorrow
 
the limbs are heavy
crisp snow crunchs under my feet
my silks keep me warm
 
edited to be weather correct

here comes a light snow
the temps are well below freezing
we'll work tomorrow

thanks paul

remember - i live in the south where we do not have snow or freezing weather
