Island
On one for my life
And now for some more of time
But it feels different
I made this poem about London and NYC, it’s about how I was on and island (The UK) and then on one for a bit longer (Manhattan) but how I still feel different about my surroundings. I wanted to confuse people a bit and have fun with my poem so they had to think and not just read it. I was surprised by how long I had to think about it to find the correctly numbered syllables for the haiku. A haiku is made of five syllables then seven then five again. It is a classic Japanese way of a good fun poem. One funny one goes like this:
Haiku’s are funny
But they don’t always make sense
Refrigerators
They can be funny but they can also be very sad about someone in someones family who passed away or is very ill.
