Mando-inspired Haiku

[mandopete]

30K Nugget
Poetry in wood and strings
Price... my fiscal cliff

Price... my fiscal cliff ?
Easier than having to
Explain to my wife!

[Django Fret]

Mando fiscal cliff
came at end of World War One
Best years still to come!

[GTO]

Too good a stream to drop...

Wisely tuned in fifths
Short enough to make it work
Left and right brain meld

Happy Holidays all you mando poets out there!

[Scott Tichenor]

Pity the poor Brits
Case covers for good mandos
Can't figure it out

Part of the problem?
Lousy UK mandolins
Really don't need one

Why protect beater?
No need for a Small Dog there
Duct tape works just fine

Here's why I need one:
Mandolin worth more than car
Duh. Now you get it?

A great mandolin
With a great case deserves one
Protect investment

Please, please, no whining
Prove your case now by haiku
Why to not own one.

[Astro]

Mayan Calendars
Old solstice superstitions
Yet here we all are

[hank]

Thundering silence...
One pointed, focused, intent
This perfect moment

[Pete Jenner]

Empty case say they
Strung bridge hums all day and night
Case for hand? NO glove!

[Randi Gormley]

Overcast skies loom
As wind carries smell of snow;
Time to get the Strad ...

[hank]

Inspirational
sights, sounds, scent and sensation
enlightenment songs

[hank]

Cases and covers
Chest thumping and conceited
Money and music

[Mandoak]

Winter afternnon I fall sleep in my chair
with my mandolin in my hand
I dreamed "was I a man playing mandolin?"
"Or a mandolin playing a man?"

No, just common sense
Some people refuse to see
And some just complain

[Pete Jenner]

You, red mando cap
Sense is not in bag or strap
Common is a time

[hank]

Not a side implied
Cover use moot to poor man
Let go to reset

[Astro]

Rising With Bird Song
Natures Soothing Tremelo
Spring Has Come Again

[mandopete]

Dormant Haiku thread -
Awakens in Spring today.
Sunny Seattle!

[JEStanek]

Raindrops keep falling
On the beds with new bulbs in
Pick a tune sweetly

[shortymack]

A happy Easter
With ham and bunnies alike
Shared with strings and song

[BeginnerMandolinistTyler]

Here's a deep haiku
Revealing a hidden truth
Mandolins rock! darn....

I am a drummer
Rob, your haiku insults me
We too are smarts enough

Ineffable speed
Cascading arpeggios
Thile, you inspire me

[Richard J]

Eight new strings in tune
A song has been selected
I play for pleasure

[mandopete]

Like the old joke says...
Why does mando have eight strings?
One might be in tune!

[Tom Coletti]

Chop chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop chop.


Take off the capo,
Try E flat and discover
Advanced frustration.


Please do not attempt
To use your pointy headstock
As a blade weapon...


A "banjo slayer"?
Does it kill stuff, or is it
Just loud and grating?

--Tom

When this thread appears
I seek a mando Haiku
That is up to date

[bookmn]

Tune trapped in marble
Awaiting its sweet release
Chip away false notes

[Snickers]

I'm new around here
Seems right to make first post in
Mandolin Haiku
