When I would have a hammer,
This was what we need.

Hope this will humor you and USA 
ends  up with a clean sweep.

Wonder who out there are
curling fans. I remember 
a Carling beer that probably
no longer exists.

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'

Dork Using a Fork Horn Hiaku

Dork Using A Fork Horn Hiaku

We once knew a dork;
Should eat donut with a fork;
Keep flakes from his clothes.

Let me describe he background 
of how this haiku came about. 
Yesterday, I had eaten a donut
with powdered white sugar on it.
The powder proceeded to end up
all over the place. This morning I
mentioned what had happened 
yesterday. She suggested that I
should have eaten the donut with
a fork.  I then told her that is
why a woman belongs in the
White House as our President.
When I finally found the fork
in the road someone had run
over it with their car. The fork
could no longer be used and 
was bent beyond belief. Do
you think you can affork to
buy another fork for a dork?
Maybe another bottle together
we should uncork after you
arrived at bar after riding in
on a stork.

Are so proud of him (her).

You can apply it any way you want to.

Trump Terrible Throat Horn Trilogy Hiaku

Trump Terrible Throat

Fowl words were coming
Out of his terrible throat;
For him will not vote.

People did do in;
Took advantage of again;
Sure it was a sin.

Others did entice
To kill people who were nice
A horrible price.

What other bad things is Trump
enticing people to do. Makes me
wonder.

Horn Hillary Trilogy Hiaku

Horn Hillary Trilogy Haiku

Woman finally
I sure am starting to see
In White House should be.

God us He did bless
Narrow margin could care less
Remove all the stress.

What a woman will (5)
Duty rightfully fulfil (7)
So we can sit still.

Her confidence produces
restfulness to me.

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.

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.

Horn Hillary Honorary Hiaku

Horn Hillary Honorary Haiku

Trump just made his terrible statement
wile speaking at Dordt University in
Sioux City, Iowa. Here is my Horn
Haiku poem I wrote about it.

Should we even the score
Donald Trump does not speak for
Myself anymore

He could stand right in
Middle of Fifth Avenue
And then shoot someone.

Never lose voter
But still need an escorter
Who will remove him.

Tis apparently is current thinking of 
many people out there including myself.
James Serious Mysterious Horn

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.

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.
