LOONY MOON TUNE I'm making monkey with the loony moon tune She's changing direction and smiling at me I'm closer to her when I'm by the sea She's pulling the tides to be nearer to me
With her I wither and I melt when she comes Without her, I doubt if I'd ever be true With her I have everything that I need Without her I'm nothing for eternity
I blinky blink, blink and she winks back at me She's making monkey, loony moon tune, with me 030409
PETULIA'S WAITING Petulia's waiting she sits contemplating ain't no kerfuffle but you! Locked in her closet a Troglodytes wallet the names of her lovers are stencilled in blood... She thinks that it's okay to cliche the natives to commune with the names on the cemetery wall. She comments on fan-flicks and downloads snuff-movies she thinks that that's groovy if she thinks at all. 300309

The following are some really bad examples of my cyclical Haiku / Senryu style poetry:

***** ******* ***** THE RULES FOR NaisaiKu..
www.naisaiku.blogspot.com All you do is write a Haiku style poem of five, seven, five syllables then re-enter the first line as the central TITLE then reverse the cycle so line 5 reads the same as line 3 line 6 reads the same as line 2 and finally line 7 should be the same as line 1 and line 4. And that’s about it!
So you should end up with seven lines and 39 syllables.
Just to make things more complicated there's also a forty-one syllable NaisaiKu where the second line is repeated as the TITLE, in some ways this seems the more logical way to go as the piece then can be read as three seperate Haiku, almost...
Here's an example of a 41 syllable NaisaiKu which is also known as a Cycliku!
it don't have to rhyme forty-one silly-billy on just a few lines FORTY-ONE SILLY-BILLY on just a few lines forty-one silly-billy it don't have to rhyme
You can make Just for funNaisaiKu.. rhyme or not.
Finally, you can of course use the third line as the TITLE if you need to emphasise something like this, perhaps:
Shout out, shout it out! SHOUT OUT, SHOUT IT OUT! Shout out, shout it out!
The rules are so simple that there's hardly any rules at all. You could even convert an existing Haiku style poem into this one if you so wish.
Just a bit of fun!
