Are the ones to blame

  2. It’s a poor defence
    blaming ones audience,
    I blame the writer
    Syllable counting blighter.

    1. I’m only blaming my audience if everyone who clicks ‘like’ is genuinely part of my audience…

  6. Your verse lies somewhere between
    an ecstatic dream
    and Covid-19

    At least your lines are in the right order

    1. I think you could re-order the lines to make it marginally less offensive to readers. But it would be a token effort.

  9. You inspired me today. I’m determined not to end up posting as many haiku as you are doing, but I reserve the right to make them just as useless when I do.

    1. I’d like to believe it’s a rare talent but I think if you can count to seven, it’s pretty achievable

  10. Take the rubbish out
    like husbands/poets should….or
    is the joint point moot?

  11. Maybe the haikus aren’t rubbish, and maybe, just maybe, you don’t understand the deeper meaning in what you’ve written. Maybe it’s just your erudite audience that can interpret the inner soul of each one and you are left in the dark feeling completely puzzled. Of course, maybe not.
