I am a regular Haiku contributor to the Splat! blog on news.com.au.
A recent blog invited Haikus about favourite books.

Here is my post.


The tale I like most
Takes place over seven books
Each gets a Haiku.

The man in black flees
Across the barren desert
Gunslinger follows

Woke up on a beach
Dad-a-chuck? some fingers gone!
Now he must draw three

Was he killed or not?
Saved, pulled through the demon door
have to catch a train

Soppy love story
Bird and Bear and Hare and Fish
And the pink grapefruit.

Ka-tet called upon
to exterminate the wolves
come back to New York

Mia’s chap is born
Protect the rose at all costs
it means everything.

Finally we’re here
Won’t give the ending away
read it for yourself
