Dating Haiku

BY GREER MCDONALD

I got sent the funniest link from fellow dating blogger Rachel yesterday to this, a blog where a Kiwi lass has written haiku poems for each of her sexual partners.

It was so freaking funny, I actually lol'd.  

Some of my favourites (that were also the least risqué for taste sake) included:

You liked to make love
To the Best of Queen CD
Which I now detest

When I was rat-arsed
You looked like Orlando Bloom;
Not so much next day

You said you were gay
Guess that was a great big lie
Your boyfriend hates me

Ok seriously I could go on and on. They crack me up.

Now I don't suspect mine are anywhere as funny but I thought I'd give it a go anyway.

The structure of a haiku is simple. Ok it's not, there are a million different variations, but for arguments sake:

- It's three lines long.

- The first line is five syllables, second line is seven syllables and the last line is five syllables - or near enough.

Here is my collection, reflecting on dates, boyfriends and random romances:

 

What very nice arms

But that did not help with

Personality 

 

We met at Mollys

That should have been a warning

Sex in the city

 

I was your Thursday

Then I was everyday

Those days are over

 

Man in uniform

Naughty meetings, secret calls

Shame he had no balls 

 

Teenage love, so sweet

Our song was Blink 182

Thank god we grew up

 

Ok, I was drunk

Across the dancefloor, we gazed

Oops, what was your name?

 

A friend of a friend

Isn't that always the case?

You were not the one

 

Terrible kisser

Nothing to write home about

Phew, dodged that bullet

 

Right, your go. Hit me with your best dating related haiku!
