I enjoy smuggling rhymes into blank verse but have not yet gotten all 3 lines of a haiku I really like to rhyme. My response to Carpe Diem #932 silk tree is a pair of all-new haiku. I do like the one with a couplet. The one with a triplet (plus an internal rhyme in the title at no extra charge) is submitted in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln’s corny jokes during the American Civil War: I laugh so that I will not cry.
Sound of Sunlight
Rushing waters bring
joy to those who hear them sing
and see them sparkle.
Silly Rhymes for Scary Times
A rhyme in blank verse?
President Trump would be worse.
Vote Dem or you’ll curse.

Thanks. It was nice to have an upbeat parody of “Sound of Silence” as a title.

The Sound of Sunlight has quite a melody to it. Silly Rhymes for Scary Times made me laugh, (in a good way) but the title itself would be great for a multi-generational book.

Nicely done and let’s do hope the American’s realize that silliness has no place in the White House.

The rhymes of the second haiku may be silly, but they’re also 100% true. President Trump? Agh! What a disaster for the planet that would be.
