Haiku and The Art of Matrimony

Capturing wedded 'bliss' in 17 syllables

Marriage is a journey full of love, quirks, and the occasional eye roll. In our home, we’ve found that nothing captures the hilarity, frustration, and beauty of it all quite like a well-placed, self-deprecating, and sarcastic Haiku.

With just 17 syllables, we turn the little moments—mouth breathing, sleeping habits, and late-night debates about thermostat settings—into snapshots of our lives together.

This is not your typical ode to wedded bliss. These are our witty reflections on marriage, where humor keeps us grounded, and poetry keeps us sane.

Shared below is a window into our life together and the start of a collection we intend to expand upon over the coming decades of annoyance, and joy.

Haiku #001

I pick up your shit

Clean messes and close cupboards

It’s invisible 

Haiku #002

Oh, unbridled joy,

When socks are left on the floor

My artful display.

Haiku #003

Molecular molasses,

What a shock, you’re still in bed.

The day starts for you?

Haiku #004

You rise with the sun

While I stay dancing in dreams

This angers you - why?

Haiku #005

Dreams are but shadows

The bills will not pay themselves 

Money grows on trees?

Haiku #006

Oh how air offends

When astonishingly loud

You mouth breathe like that
