I thought it would be fun to have a thread devoted to Bill poems, we are such a talented lot here I am sure we can come up with some really good ones, here is mine........

Bill, I miss you night and day
Ever since with REM, you no longer play
If I could see you again, I'm sure I'd be fine
So please consider playing with REM one more time

[mrs berry]

Bill, you are devine
Oh please....wont you be mine
I've adored you for so long
I'ts with me you belong
You're in my dreams all of the time
Oh please Bill.......be mine

Japanese haiku have been traditionally composed in 5-7-5 syllables. When poets started writing English haiku in the 1950's, they adopted this 5-7-5 form, thinking it created a similar condition for English-language haiku. This style is what is generally considered "traditional" English haiku.

very, very nice:)

it is becoming very obvious that you and I are the only one's with poetic talent in this forum.

I look forward to you're next contribution........I realise I am being demanding on you're poetic flair...but without your excellent contributions.....this thread would be a complete failure :)
