mr morris canberra cafe haiku

I love seeing original, creative ideas – particularly when they’re local.

I was alerted to an instagram account recently, @canberracafehaiku. The name pretty much sums it up – it’s an account dedicated to humorous haikus about Canberra cafes.

There’s no suggestion as to who is behind the page or if it’s one person or a few that come up with these hilarious and accurate little pieces.

I was never good at writing haikus in my Japanese class at school, but I gave it a go:

Local Press

Trendy Kingston shore
High consumption of kale juice
Too healthy for me

My Rainbow Dreams

What even is this
Vegan coffee and goodies
Some hygiene concerns

Think you can do better? I have no doubt you can! Submit your Canberra cafe (or place) haikus below!

LIGHT RAIL REACTIONARIES

Repeating nonsense

Empty heads object forever

Blow away when built

You might wish to ask
What on Earth is a Haiku?
Japanese nonsense!
