Ramshackle – Haiku
Somebody used the word “ramshackle” on Twitter. It’s a fun word, in spite of its not so fun meaning, so here’s a ramshackle haiku.
The roof leaks badly,
It’s freezing cold in winter,
But I was born there.
A Letter to Summer – Haiku
Dear Summer,
Spring is just too wet,
Fall is nice but it’s not you,
Winter is too cold.
Yours truly,

Haiku – June 22
The kitchen fills with,
Wonderful scents of spices,
Holiday season.
Clock – Haiku
Tick tick tick tick tick,
Students in classrooms waiting,
For the bell to ring.

House – Haiku
The writing prompt for this haiku was the first word that popped into my head: “house.”
The outside’s not much,
Walls and windows roof and doors,
The inside is home.
A Letter to My Internal Editor – Haiku
Dear My Internal Editor,
You help me work hard,
Through long days of revision,
But sometimes you’re mean.
Yours truly,
Hyacinth Grey
Haiku – June 8
I’ve been reading A Brief History of Japan by Jonathan Clements, which contains vivid descriptions of the armadas sent by Kublai Khan to attack Japan. This haiku is written from the perspective of an “observer” floating in the sea.
A hail of arrows,
Sounds of wind and war cries fierce,
Hot blood meets cold sea.
A Letter to Time – Haiku
Dear Time,
If you were my dad,
I would never once be late,
Also not human.
Yours truly,
Hyacinth Grey
