Another Guest Blog by Mrs. Abyss. For your enjoyment this week, I bring you “Husband Haiku.” A compilation of three forms (loosely based of course) of poetry (loosely based of course). Traditional style Hauku, Tanka and Katauta.

Haiku (5-7-5 onji format)

Camping Part Duex ~

wood is smoldering
my fire skills inadequate
wife starts huge bonfire

Tanka (5-7-5-7-7 onji format)

Veggie Pants ~

dirty pants on floor
a science experiment
how long will they stay
two month later pants grow mold
four months and have fresh mushrooms

In your Face ~

put leftovers in fridge
let husband know for lunches
husband dies of hunger pains
can’t see leftovers at eye level

Baby, it’s cold out there ~

forgot the jacket
doesn’t like to be mothered
it’s freezing cold out
pouts that I forgot jacket
calls mother to whine

Katauta (5-7-7 onji format)

Cry Baby, Cry ~

husband in much pain
much crying, moaning, whining
has paper cut on pinky
