HAIKU (maybe the perfect example of cultural misappropriation)

First of all let me tell you I'm not in the #1wc anymore, but after money spent, research done and script written (😆), it would be a wasted effort not to share. Sensi (who's a 4th black dan in bonsai ((and he should be as he lives in a tree house in one)) advised me as I'm a bit of a thicky (actually said 'wound eye velly fik) not to bother with the traditional form of haiku and go for the lune form. Now I can do loon all day, so here's my lune style

Affronted eyes bleeding

The world's best tourbillon design

Sake salve soul

To be honest this haiku stuff is a bit rubbish really, don't rhyme and doesn't really make any sense. I mean take this for an example by someone called Basho..

Waterjar cracks

I lie awake

This icy night

It says about this, you can hear the waterjar crack and feel the cold bed that keeps basher awake all night.

What a load of drivel. So I've done one one for the more western sensibilities

Please let me in

So cold me pipes cracked

Promise no more watches

See much better, certainly conveys the idea of the average watch collector (in my street at least) having to spend another freezing night in the greenhouse after Alexa has grassed him up (again) on his latest purchase.

There's my thoughts on haiku, sorry for the cultural misappropriation (he's got to do more work on the accent). And I hope this gives encouragement to those who haven't posted theirs yet and I thought you might be missing 'the watch' #not in 1wc, (and definitely not after this)
