Hello folkerkinos.

Today I am reporting over at The Nudge Wink Report.

I’ve come up with the entirely novel concept (well, novel at least for me) of reporting the Weekly News Round Up (eh? That’s not original – get on with it!) but with a twist.

Instead of reporting in the usual straightforward fashion, I’ve decided to use…haikus.

Why haikus you say? I say, why the hell not!

Plus poetry is my thing OK, so deal with it!

Come and join me on this epic adventure, say hello and leave a comment or three (or not, in which case I curse you and your whole family! OK, not really but I shake my fist and bite my thumb at thee. Whilst thee aren’t looking. I don’t want no trouble Mister. *sucks thumb and slinks off*)

So here we go – it’s time to start the syllable counting and let the mayhem begin! It’s the countdown to the countdown to the countdown to the countdown and it’s showing no signs of stopping.

Haiku News! A Round Up Of The Weekly News & Commentary in Haikus

Still want to read more? My, you are a hungry bunch, aren’t you?
