Ropey

Bold Bacchus beckoned
Dionysus insisted
Mourning this morning

Caesura

Haiku hiatus
Brief prosody vacation
On black sand I lie

Sovereignty

Sweet silent moment
Tranquility reigns supreme
A regnant pause

A Certain Age

Moldering brunette
Her varicose veins throbbing
Venous not Venus

Sound Threshold

Lewd vessel-banging
Wedding night shenanigans
Bawdy shivaree

Pyrotechnicians

Incendiary
Kingston lights the touch paper
An explosive joint

Neutered

Chiennes épuisées
Fatigued by lack of chaleur;
The dogs came in spayeds

Unseasoned

Doggone doggerel
Your corpus interruptus
Hampers pure haiku

Pickelicious

Heavenly Branston
Vinegary Valhalla
For heroic veg

Shady Individual

Charcoal reverie
His face in adumbration
My mono lover

Waistful

Oh supine rapture
His hand on my saddle point
To which he is prone

Sneeze

Doctor's waiting room
Invisible diseases
Transpire the ether

Slug Repellent

A jungle-like lawn
Too long was it left uncut
Phlegmatic was I

Kiss

Calyx encircled
In divine osculation;
My corolla waits

Yorkie

More Fergie faux pas
A cash-for-access scandal
It's not for Royals

Exhausted

Pneumatic crisis
My tyre leaves me deflated
Jointly we suspire

Bengali Bonus

Chicken jalfrezi
Peshwari naan and pilau
Here's a fat baksheesh

Cock o' the Walk

Avoiding traffic
Reckless chicken crosses road
A plucky display

Mint Sauce

Sheep bleating wake me
Hateful ovine dawn chorus
Lamb chops for dinner

Bankers

Bank of Ireland wins
The shareholders' votes are cast
The tax-payers lose

Holy War

Not-for-prophet group's
Mohammed cartoon contest
Sparks facebook jihad

One of the Regulars

This lexicon is
The site I frequent; so I'm
An habitué

2012

Wenlock, Mandeville
Children scream in terror at
One-eyed humanoids

Ed to Ed with David

Labour leadership
Let battle commence, Ed Balls
Contra(Mili)band

On Haiku

A linguistic gym
To flex my verbal muscle
Oral pilates

A Start

Syllabic poets;
My sesquipedalian
Haiku début's here.
