Haiku Friday: Listening to Music (holiday or other)

 


For about 30 years (!) I made a Christmas CD (actually, at the start it was cassette tapes). I didn't do that this year after a bevy of complaints that no one has a CD player and some about content. If I can find a better format, I might try again next year, but I took a year off.

But let's haiku about listening to music this week. Bonus points if you can identify the man pictured above. Here, I will go first:

Christmas Eve service
The light is passed in dark
I sing with feelings.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!

    Mom’s an immigrant
    who taught me to love country
    music, slide guitars. (Des)

    a young David Bowie?

    Music, most genres
    is a constant companion
    weaving through life

  5. What's worse? Osler's Fake
    Chipmunks, Mojo, French tunes; or
    Dad's rockabilly?

    It is mid-winter
    But bleak? Singing souls
    Wake bones to wonder.

      Joni Mitchell and drank A
      Case of Her, til morning came.

  13. So many great Haiku.

    That photo also looks like a young John Osler dressed as a casual punk with hair product.

  15. My big complaint is,
    There is no variety,
    Bring back Osler CD.
