Monday Haiku
by @gordon
Liner Notes
#haiku #harmonies #folky Something a bit different. Each verse is its own haiku. Cos why not?
Lyrics
Slow start to the day Monday is here once again Weekend is over
Travelling to your work The commuters are packed in Addicted to phones
Drama will unfold And people will not notice Truth waits to be told
Morning takes forever So many e-mails to clear Uphill endeavour
Slow start to the day Monday is here once again Weekend is over

I really love the tune and harmony. Such a simple idea, but just so nicely observed. Haiku is a great form for song because of the precision of the rhythm, and I'd never even thought of it. I think haiku songs would make a great skirmish or challenge.

I wouldn't be surprised if you told me you write 280 haikus a month as well. 😀 This works really well Gordon. The perfect way to beat the Monday morning blues.

Hi Max, it's never come up before lols. I'll probably have to stop, or at least slow down soon as I've got guests coming from Wednesday, but still a couple of songs hopefully.

That's really lovely Gordon. Such a nice gentle hutch of haiku. Five syllables, five verses - nice!. Cheers

haha Monday mornings do take forever! I like the slow easy vibe and vocal harmonies, it's kind of a fun contrast to the frantic-ness that Mondays can sometimes bring trying to catch up on all that stuff. Very cool that this originated via haiku. Perfect ending just kinda ending aburptly and hanging in the air too!
