My old `Floating Voter Song` re-hashed for the Europe vote.


with an invitation to anyone to add their own version

(If I ever find out where the hell my sound files are stored I`ll post the tune )

Come on folks!...we`re all perishing of Haiku - itis.

So pleased that you like this David, as I completely re-wrote it to try for that particular repetitive verse format - it's difficult for me to bring discipline in, but probably worth the effort - as you have highlighted.

I am satisfied that this is the best I could do on the subject matter!

These lines will surely resonate with many readers,
including yours truly.
I was in my mid-60s when I was convinced by a chum
to get a PC & get with it! I was kind enough to myself
to make sure I got a couple of guidebooks at the outset
- and that certainly made my new life in cyberspace a
lot easier than it might otherwise have been. I had just
got used to Internet Explorer when I was led to Google
Chrome which I forsook for Firefox - all the time making
sure I had online security to keep the nasties in check.
There have been some scary moments when everything
looked set to got bent on me but it's been fun most of
the time, leading to an expansion of my retirement world
towards sites like this and many others that have added
to my enjoyment and knowledge. Then, of course, there is invaluable "email". What would I do without it?
So - the moral surely has to be: stick with it and don't
be discouraged when hiccups happen. The answer is
out there!

Ghastly and inspired Harry - admirable for the shape alone. The contrast of the white bucket is pure horror. I can almost sense the gravity of it.

Fine imagery and worthy in every way. The great thing about senescence is its rarity and virgin quality, and it rhymes with essence, pubescence presence; the list could go on. A Pandora's box.

Fabulous. Ray

Original item by Laura Taylor

Cheers chaps!

Ooo yes, senescence is one of my favourite words - the sound, the process, love it. I included it in another poem about how we never really die, how our skin cells enter other people through their mouths and noses :) It was called Rebellious Senescence :D

Look forward to your gothic horror sequence :D

Thank you very much Rob :) Yeh, that's another one of those pesky rules innit, if you're writing a series of them, they have to be able to stand alone, and my Arrested one didn't (although I had a lot of fun writing it ha).

Fear embalms the alligator - it's like a translation of a haiku heh :D

In fact, it all seems like a translation.

Comment is about in a while crocodile (blog)

Original item by Stuart Buck

One of the first haiku I ever tried my hand at. It was sparked by entering a new friend's house and seeing her vase of dead red roses. I had the exact same thing at home, and never thought anyone else would want to keep dead flowers :D It told me an awful lot about her. I preferred them dead, tbh. Something special about them.

Indeed. It makes the poem even more special, knowing that.
