A whole day early!

Winter fight over:
The tax return is now dead!
Next one not till spring...


Wednesday 29 January 2014

We was promised!

But where is the snow?
Yet another wet winter
Undermines the trees.

Weirdness

I walked thirteen miles!
Cotswolds in sun, wind and rain.
Came home to find snow!!!

Changing Days

Days are lengthening.
Five o'clock sky is still blue.
Springtime is coming!

Patience is a Virtue?

Little haiku blog
Always patiently waits for
One of us to post.






Neither will it mind
If we split infinitives
Or miss the season.






This haiku blog is
Very accepting of our
Peccadiloes. No?

Priorities

Poor haiku blog!
Casualty of busyness,
Abandoned on net.

Fear not, little blog
Though no-one reads you as yet
We will keep posting.  :)

Home from work

No haiku this week.
Been working away from home.
A busy winter!

Making Bread

It's an old wives' tale!
Knead 10 minutes, prove two times.
5 and once enough.

Winter beauty

Wisley in winter...
Butterflies in orchid house.
Do you want to go?


If we meet up there
Don't let me drink the coffee.
It's real 'giddy juice'.


One mug and I'll be
Mimicking the butterflies
Flitting here and there!

Death came for the healer

HabitRPG:
Game to aid motivation.
Fun, allegedly.

Stressed developers;
Latest updates spread the love
Now we're all stressed too.

Quests! Classes! New kit!
Lots of new shiny things but
Basics ceased to work.

Call me old fashioned:
Prefer content over style.
Demotivated.

The consequences:
Lost gold, kit and a level.
I am not best pleased.

Strangely, this result
Provided motivation.
So it works - sort of.

Shakespeare Comes to Haiku

Now is the season
Of our discontent made worse
By Google's errors!

Dwelling on errors
Of the computerish kind
Shuts out the season.

But time is passing.
No heating for past two hours!
Winter creeps back in.

Coldth arrives by stealth
Chilling feet, creeping up legs.
Time to thaw in bed!

Farewell dear sister!
Parting is such sorrow but
Haiku tomorrow.

A few extra points
For a rhyme in the haiku?
This is so much fun!!! :D

Sunday 5 January 2014

There are *rules*, you know...

It's getting slack here.
There is a distinct lack of
Seasonal ref'rence...

Here I am...with Errors, and More Expected

An invitation
to take part in this eblog.
But errors abound!

The error message
contains one gecko?!? Also
"Expect more errors".

Takes more than errors
to keep me from haikuing.
(Sounds like a new sport) :D

Save me from technology

Can't blog in IE,
Can't post comments in Firefox -
Bloody web browsers!

There's no doubt Google
Would rather we all use Chrome.
Buggy piece of crap.

Out to get us, and
Force us to use shite software.
Pass my tin-foil hat!

Creative IT

IT as Haiku?
Don't care as long as it works.
Thank you very much!!!

Not your average tech support

Advice now given
Via elegant verse form;
Concise and classy.  ;-)

Ignorance is NOT bliss

Google + demands
I am given my full name.
Nothing less will do.

I want my surname
To be kept in the shadows.
Google refuses.

Sister in IT.
Mysteries of the Net
are circumvented.

Well, not yet they're not.
Emails have been sent to her.
I will live in hope!

The Wisdom of Doing Nothing

When I am not here
My silence helps you create
Many cool haiku! :)

When I am not here
You haiku for both of us.
So I do my part :D

Reading the above
I pause. Is 'haiku' a verb?
If not, it is now! :D

My dearest sister
Apologies for haikus
Are they good enough?

Yes, the middle line
Has two meanings. Choose your own
interpretation ;)



No show

The sound of silence
Tumbleweed whipped by the wind
I am alone here

Yes, you're busy but
Isn't this a joint venture?
Where are you, sister?

Chad

Fingers, eyes and nose
Hook themselves over the wall:

"Wot, no blog update?"

Unquiet night

Car alarm meltdown
90 minutes' sleep all night.
Hardly neighbourly!

People with alarms:
Get them checked regularly
Or don't turn them on!

Sounds too obvious?
But common sense is misnamed.
So!  Bring me my axe...

Day 1: Tumbleweed

A New Year opens:
The first day draws to a close
And still no content!


I check through the stats
Nothing but spammy page views
No real readers yet...
