Tee-shirt from my daughter

My daughter knows I write poetry and sometimes use the haiku form.  She got me a tee-shirt that gets a lot of comments and laughs when I wear it.  This is the haiku printed on the shirt:

Haikus are easy

But sometimes they don’t make sense

Refrigerator

Juxtaposition is an essential part and the above haiku certainly has that.  Some think nature is an essential theme of the haiku form, but that isn’t true although mine have been about hiking in the desert of Arizona, the mountains of Colorado and the forests of Michigan.  Here’s one by me today:

It is a fun form

to create in one’s mind’s eye

but can cause sadness.
