Sleep, that little death
But when you awake from it
You arise refreshed

We should all be so
Lucky, KLA2, as to sleep
Restfully, always.

Wearin' o' the green
Makes spring seem much nearer, when
Green is everywhere.

An Irish Haiku
Bashō meets Wilde. Would they drink?
Sake or Guinness ?

A gentle spring breeze
Do I feel it on my cheek?
No. Just more damn snow. :evil:

Spring. A hundred hours
Of outdoors work in a month.
Oh, how I hate it.

Spring has already sprung.
Summer, so hot and muggy,
Has me in its grasp.

Very far away.

If ever they hop'd for
favourable publicity.
They've blown it now.


(BTW, is it OK to count "Favourable" as three syllables - "fave-rib-bill" :-

So it comes to this.
Cheating on syllables is
Allowed? As purist, I think that violates the rules of the Haiku. :lol:
