Just stopping by to let all the writers (and wannabe writers) amongst you that it's time to contribute your haiku again. This month we're looking for heart patients' perspectives on Medical Terminology. Full details on the relevant blog post - heartytalescouk.wordpress.c...

I look forward to reading your contributions again :)

Love it! One of the readings at our wedding was a poem by John Cooper Clarke. We had asked one of our friends to read it and when the time came he whipped out a shaggy black wig and adopted the accent too. Not what we had expected! 😂 The poem was recited many more times in the evening as more drinks were consumed...

I`m an ex English teacher but I do believe a haiku is beyond my prowess!!!Will watch with interest.Perhaps a limerick might be more my style!x

We're not too strict about the whole haiku thing, honestly. I'd love to see a limerick on the subject!

I once had a high BNP

So the doc sent me for ECG

When she saw my oedema

She turned into a screamer

And implanted a quick ICD.

Full disclaimer: this was not the real sequence of events! Limericks are definitely harder than haiku 😂
