Even More Haiku Before You Read The Last Lot

Two Haiku posts in a row from me, sorry. 1/. I don't do road trips Just Cul-De-Sac meanders Home In time For Tea I alwats like adventures I can get home from afterwards 2/. Alienated Despite being among friends Need books to be me So many people exclude me from conversation and talk round me - books are my refuge 3/. DJ'd A Goth night Played Sophie Ellis Bextor Never asked again I like all kinds of music, not just one exclusive genre 4/. Drummer banging on Without other musicians Practice not solo Noise pollution groan Inspired by previous verse Can't hear myself write. Double Haiku, inspired by seeing someone recently pranging on a pub drum kit just to make noise with no regard for who else was in the bar 5/. Burnt for heresy Disliking soap opera A whole new witchcraft People get really intolerant if I dislike a show they enjoyed Youtube - Sophie Ellis Bextor - Get Over You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r72Sbmj2OrM Arthur Chappell

You are good at these! But seriously why do your friends exclude you from conversation?

@Fleura Some people can be very selfish, elitist and ignorant sometimes

@arthurchappell Maybe you need to find some different friends?

@Fleura some of them are ok, and others are close to the people I need to get on well with in areas I write about - some are likely to be dumped and openly exposed though too

I really like these, especially the road trips because I relate.

@AmbiePam I always like to feel I can get home OK again, even if away for a few weeks or months
