Haiku #2

By common  consent
the earth is warming.
Why not all its people?

Like your clever idea of haiky Dave - keep it up. A Happy New Year to you and your family.

here's to humanity 'defrosting' a bit this new year.

Karen said...

Very, very good question! ("By common consent" - ha!)

Tabor said...

Yes, why not?

Barry said...

Oh, the collected humanity is a cold and frosty lot Dave. Well, except for those who comment on your blog. We're all warm and friendly.

Happy New Year! Here's wishing you all the best in 2010!

A fire is started with one little match. I guess we tend our own and hope something catches.

Happy New Year.

Why not its people?

People continue
To move in the direction
Corporations wish.

Writing Haiku everyday?

Lovely idea,
Writing haiku everyday
Dave will master art.

Greetings?

Happy New Year, sir
Hoping two thousand and ten
Brings good health and joy.

Happy New Year, Dave.
I've just caught up with your previous posts; quite encyclopedic here. Lots to learn.

Dave - each time I leave a comment I get a message on my e mail to say that it has not been delivered, yet it is clearly seen above. Just came back to check that it was here!

Good one!

Just received my most recent issue of Writer's Digest and it talks about shadorma, which is 6 lines with the following number of syllables:
3
5
3
3
7
5

Just in case you get bored with haiku....

Dave--- I am taken by your three most recent posts.... nice unity across them and the haiku ( and its almost brother) are both delicate and deadly... nicely done.

Why not tell its people. If only they'd listen. Wonderful words, Dave. Thanks.

Dave King said...

Thanks everyone. Sorry about my tardiness of response. I shall be looking towards humanity for a warm frostiness in the new year!
