Tinwhistle Haiku

306

My six holed mistress,
Destroying my married life
Must kiss thee again.

-Jason King.

307

Lovers sent reeling
A magical perspective
Low whistle's 3-D's


---Sam Allen

308

joyful crescendo
whistle blasts the final note -
who bought me that pint?


--Katie Devlin

309

Exaspiration!
The whistle sits silently,
I try it again....

310

So hard to pull out,
the sounds from inside my head,
through my poor fingers.

 

311

I wait the long wait,
for Joanie and the ladies,
to play Iowa.

312


An ear-splitting screech!
A big five year-old smile asks,
"Was that REALLY LOUD?"

313

They sit there empty,
waiting for the breath of life,
Clarke, Oak, Susato.

314


Bakelite composite,
CNC machined fipple,
perturbed bore and wife.

- Mike Olson


315

Working down to it,
Look, it simply can't be done
!
Suddenly, Low D.

-Michael Fitzgerald

Tinwhistle sounds ring
the heart controlled breath flowing
propagating notes.

317

it comforts me that
others must continue to
whistle while they drive

318

silly girl, I thought
what power has this whistle
to make you need more

319


so loud blare the horns
the light has turned, but finished
the hornpipe is not

320

it was the haiku
declared the husband as he
pleaded not guilty

321

the husband competes
for her attention as she
whistles hours away
