Haiku

I have been trying

To write a Haiku for you

Some things I just can't do

Maybe you're beyond

Ancient Asian Poetry

Or maybe it's just me

I have been trying

To get this Haiku

Just right

All night

For you

All right

I'm through

Maybe this poem

Was lost in the sauce we spilled

That never got refilled

I've never thought much

Of formulaic verse anyway

And rhymes are not my fort(e)

I have been trying

To get this Haiku

Just right

All night

For you

All right

I'm through

I'm trying not to try too hard

But you're hard to write down right

So I pen these tried attempts

At Haikus for you tonight

La Da De Diddum

La Da Da Dum Do Diddle

Dum Do La De Do

There that's sufficent

I wrote a Haiku for you

Well I tried at least

And that's not so bad

I'm working here

Can that be said for you?

I'm trying not to try to hard

But you're hard right down right

So I pen these tried attempts

At Haikus for you tonight

Words don't work like Webster says

They trip me up all night

I'm just trying to write for you

But you're hard to write down right
