More Haiku Silliness

And a new haiku prompt

Hello, Rogues!

Are you ready to disregard the rules of polite society?

allergic to rum?
seeking new quartermaster,
will train the right fit

When I first started this haiku self-publishing journey back in 2015-2016, I was writing haiku about pirate job postings like the one above. I had no plan, I was just writing to entertain myself and my kids.

Inspired by a book I picked up at a car wash gift shop, Robot Haiku by Ray Salemi, I published my first haiku collection, Pirate Haiku, in 2016. (You can buy a digital or physical copy of Pirate Haiku here.)

Later, I would start illustrating the haiku and daring to try my hand at serious poems as well as silly ones.

This note from earlier in the week by

Ivy-Rose Opal

got me back in the mood for silly, pirate haiku:

And that brings me to today’s prompt:

Haiku Prompt

Write a haiku, or series of haiku, about something in the life of a pirate (or ninja). It can be as silly or serious as you like! Please share in the comments!

Cheers,

Jason
