Spent three hours again
On Sensei’s Library
Didn’t know Heso.
(Definitely not every day for me, this may even be my last one here.)
(Maybe this is Senryu rather than Haiku? <shrug> Anyway, thanks forever to Sam who told me there’s a difference.)

Yeah, it’s technically senryu. But who would recognise “Christmas Senryu Challenge”? And some of them could be haiku, if they have some seasonal words. Though who decides what English seasonal words are accepted…

Haiku for 2017-11-12, as it’s already today in England and I’m going to be busy.
“Light Stones”
My stones were so light
That they floated off the board
Judge said No Result
(Had to edit this as I made the third line too long)

The stones connected,
Thus attack ineffective,
Let’s play to surround.

So majestic a ko threat?

This isn’t very poetic, but I kinda like the idea:
Have you been naughty?
Have you been nice? Remember:
Santa has sente.

It might not rhyme, but the kireji is pretty good.

Thanks, and thanks for introducing me to the term kireji. I remember this idea being taught when we learned about haiku style in school, but I never heard the term. The couplet at the end of the English 4-4-4-2 sonnet has a similar rhetorical effect, I think.
