If someone was to ask if you liked haikus, would you reply?;
A) Yes, but I couldn’t possibly eat a whole one…
B) No! – I can’t stand those martial arts, and someone might get injured, surely!...
C) Aren’t they a form of poetry in three lines of 5,7, and 5 syllables (often lightly comical) originally developed in 17th century Japan, occasionally incorporating a word or phrase that symbolizes weather related phenomenon or one of the seasons? ..,.
The choice is yours, but here’s a clue, inspired by Bexley Libraries:
Seeking a good read
I entered your library.
Bliss. Sunshine. Books found.
I think they’re rather wonderful, but they are – apparently – devilishly difficult to write – why not have a go? You too can haiku. Try writing one or two, see how it goes. Then send us some around the theme of books or libraries using the comments box below…
The Blogbrary waits
For your poetic replies.
Love books? All welcome.
Exciting stuff, eh?

Read? What? Too much choice!
Cannot see the wood for trees,
The blogbrarian, he knows.
Dear Anonymous
Blogbrary is pleased – he says:
Solutions? Bex-L.
So much to read here,
Too much for just one lifetime.
Come back as bookworm?
Peter – you are wise.
Bookworm reincarnation?
Read books AND make silk?
Books a-plenty found
On library shelves, tall and small
What could be better?
Our shelves in Bexley?
Most are at the perfect height.
Not too high. Or low.
Still Librarian stirs
As cold wind shakes
The Kindle from new hands
Jonathan - you are
Zen haiku library fan
At creative peak.
to philosophise
maybe it is food for thought?
let me chew that over
Books await - ah,joy!
No time to write weird verses,
Too much stuff to read!
Nothing like new books
With gorgeous smell, clean pages.
Shut out the world. Peace...
Just one more Haiku
Time to write, time to compose
Time to do some work
Confucius,he say
long journey start with one step
why not take ebook?
Thank you all so much for your haikus...Splendid work!
The Blogbrarian.
Your haikus leave me
In a state of wonderment.
So many fine words.
On the mobile phone
it is hard to write full words.
To shorten is best.
