A few weeks ago we wrote a post that included some Renaissance themed haiku. We received some positive comments about those haiku and decided that we would ask the scribes and poets within the kingdom to put quill to parchment so that we may proclaim them to you! Don’t forget that if you were considering playing a scribe, town crier, or artisan at a Renaissance faire, that we do have a Renaissance cotton poet shirt to help you look the part.

Just as a quick reminder, a haiku is a three lined poem. The first and third line may only contain five syllables, while the second line must contain seven.

Without further ado, here are a few Renaissance themed haiku! (Did you catch the rhyme?)

Hark! ...Renaissance Haiku for all!

“Young Queen of Fashion”

Ruling easily

the essence of power is

repugnant to all.

“Should They Attack?”

This morning he saw

that one of the ships was sunk.

It be made certain.

“Complete Revolution”

She invaded North

and First Lieutenant Litchfield

was made a Captain.

“Profoundly Trustful of His Convictions”

The returning guards

suppressed a note of warning

sent by King Henry.
