Autumn Hiaku

Fallen leaves lie still
so colorful in their death
bed of warming hues

Acorns fall in bed
nestled neath a patchwork quilt
dream in cool crisp night

Autumn's cradled babes
matured, give birth to the same
all that will be, is

Horn Hiaku Triplet of Downton Abbey

Horn Hiaku Triplet of Downton Abbey

Between you and me
Her knockers could hardly see
What a way to be.

She seemed to extreme
With no features that redeem
Part of a bad dream.

Bra was twenty-two
And more pounds lost quite a few
Which was end of you.

She set rapid pace
Did disappear into space
We could not replace

Were delirious
After many more queries
Had stopped whole series.

Wife sure was crabby
Now no more Downton Abbey
Stopped being happy.

I was even starting to like it.

Deer Hiaku

My wife Jill was just commenting on how 
she saw some deer when she came home 
from choir practice Wednesday. They were 
about 30 feet away from a pond. She has 
seen then several times but never actually
at the pond drinking water. Here is my Horn
Haiku I wrote in reference to this.

Will wave magic wand;
Deer will appear at the pond
Into dark will run.

E Pluribis and Unum Hiaku

E Pluribis and Unum Haiku

Pluribus Unum
Did look lost without the E
So what should we do?

Henry Mancini
Drove a long Lamborghini
Both made sweet music.

Did you see docile?
Guy who was an apostle
Sleeping on the job.

Let the bed bugs bite
And will stay up through the night
Trying to get tight.

Oh dear and oh no
Gifts were lost in Atlanta
And found by Santa.

Why all of the gloom
Poetry Soup I presume
Around likes to loom.

I was explicit
When response is illicit
You should never send.

He had history
Of opposing you and me
We started to see.

He had an angle
And him wanted to strangle
And also mangle.

My constitution
Were going against again
So I took a spin.

Make mine Poem of Day
You should read in Runaway
Beach in Oregon.

What is disturbing
Drinking we should be curbing
Do it anyway.

Bright backset driver
Surely will be survivor
Keeping big mouth shut.

A proposition
In poor lighted condition
Sure is hard to see.

Was quite whimsical
When glass was finally full
Did have fighting duel.

He who buys last beer
Should be sure to have much fear
Bringing my wife here.

If it had not been
For likes of those we call Ben
Was Kit a Carson?

No there is one to think about

Paris we have gone
So we may end up plastered
Like we did last year.

In Washington oh no
We watched people who will grow
Tons I told you so.

A haiku have heard
Was like wings of a big bird
Big commotion stirred.

Was a big battle
Loaded a bunch of cattle
Or would skedaddle. 

Really was Rogers
Part of band of old cadgers
Named Will who we love




Were going against again

Hiaku a La Horn

Hiaku a la Horn

Prim donna did pierce
Both of my ears pretty fierce
Each one hardly hears.

Knew from beginning
Ahead after last inning
We will be winning.

One of my big goals
Kick football between two polls
Then have choice of bowls.

Sickness does appear
When certain symptoms are near
Hope won't have it here.

Was a rebuttal
Which us seemed to befuddle
So we should scuttle.

Before it was found
We had to look all around
Top down to the ground.

Saw a big beaver
On team was a receiver
Even told big tales.

When you would ask me
If better want things to be
Live in land of free.

We want to be sent
America place I meant
Was no accident.

Loved it from the start
We came here from miles apart
Then had change of heart.

With us we will bring
You who always seems to sing
Rock and roll or swing.

Drumstick do prefer
Certainly loud noise for sure
More then can endure.

Thought that it was such a waste of space
putting one small, three line haiku all
on one page.

Have Horsed Around With Hiaku

Have Horsed Around with Haiku 

With me horse remain;
I would rub and pet her mane;
She did entertain.

True Rare Day Horn Hiaku

True Rare Day Horn Hiaku

True rare day is Thanksgiving
Lovely way to be living
Over food we are quibbling.

Which one will have the best taste
Have to eat fast with much haste
By God we were graced.

Now at table we are there
And shall start off with a prayer
Sat what would I dare?

Should I have to hesitate
Before I say, "God is great,"
How long must I wait.

Poor prayer is over and done
Did anyone I really stun
My prayer was a pun.

Wonder where shalt I begin
Now that my highchair am in
"God is great," Amen.

GaGa stands for God Always
God always. Anytime, you
boys can stop the noise.
That even rhymes. Wow.

Where To Send the Troops Horn Hiaku

Where To Send the Troops Horn Hiaku

Revolting jolting splinter groups
Have to jump through many hoops
Were to send the troops.

We should consider each fact
So we can remain in tack
Were to send the troops.

To one country did relate
To concentrate all his hate
Were to send the troops.

What is it which we should do
So all our plans will come true
Were to send the troops.

Glue will have healing power
And harder does get each hour
Were to send the troops.

For me it makes perfect sense
In confidence and suspense
Were to send the troops.

Beaux Coux Hiaku By Horn

Beaux Coux Hiaku by Horn

Honest President
Honoring what we have meant
How about a hint.

To the issue sticks
A clock has many ticks
Must have missed my kicks.

To be candidate
Must be much to contemplate
And can hardly wait.

Guesses come in groups
And around go hula hoops
Chickens come in coops.

A real resurgence
Will they understand urgence
Things are growing tense.

Hard to stand their site
Saw candidate's ear tonight
So took a big bite.

Seems to describe whole 
campaign so far to me.

Hiaku- Tercet - Haiku Anthology

haiku
-----
let's walk with nature
sunny day hark birds singing
cuckoo you mimic

cuckoos' all gone
shot by hunters' everyone
they're not specific

swifts' last to arrive
cuckoos' once first on the scene
most humans' remiss

TERCET
------
haiku
two words split
senryu

senryu
------
a haiku a page
once the masters had their say
who are the experts'

a senryu... foibles
humans their rights and their wrongs
it wasn't me

questions' some answers
many will and many won't agree
then there's always one

the hermit
at one with mother nature
fleas' in their beds'

Hiaku

hummingbird drinking
the honey, the flower of 
wings blooming in air;

Horn Hilarity Hiaku Tree

Horn Hilarity Hiaku Tree

If away all my
Time I have spent where in world
Has all of it went?

If I did dipsey
Doodle would I do it with
Pekinese or Poodle?

If Southern was way
I had been talking will I
Be hard of hearing?

If twilight it was
Nearing are you glad that I
Will be disappearing.

To run over most
People I have to and must
Go from coast to coast.

If an old Brit I
Happen to be then who will
Have to care for me.

What if Almighty
Were female will she then be
Probably flighty.

Being obnoxious
And big-mouthed would my bad breath
Have been atrocious.

Person who puckers
Will they do it for breakfast
Lunch and their suppers.

If slave to each thought
And from store things were not bought
When will they get caught.

If by now you are
Not laughing or smiling should
More poems be writing.

Horn Hilarity
Haiku Tree it sure should be
Such a sight to see.
