A year ago I posted Y is for Yorkshire in the first round of ABC and introduced you to haiku in Yorkshire dialect.
I now bring you the work of Susan Shand.
kids laikin'
next doors do a moonlight flit
t' 'uddersfield
up Bingley 5-rise
roses spred all ovver t' walls
even on t' barges
dawn on t' Otley Chevin
747s off t't' sunshine
I have combined the first of these haiku with a photograph of Houses at bottom of Outcote Bank by Betty Longbottom, used here with permission, to create a haiga.
You can find a dialect haiga of my own on Winter Haiku 2008/09.
More Y posts can be seen on the ABC Wednesday Anthology blog.
Others can be found via the ABC Wednesday with Mister Linky which carries a registry of participants.
I know we have discussed this before, but I'm still at amazed how you manage to do this - even with such excellent help!
ReplyDeleteOne classic view of a classic county! The haiku is well-written too!
ReplyDeleteGood one.Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a team post. No, I couldn't do it. Northern Haiku is novel.
ReplyDeleteI love the accented poem! I used to sing 'Bleydon Races' with a terribly Southern accent. I suppose that's not the same area?
ReplyDeleteTHose houses have such a wonderful flowing line to them. And I love the accompanying haiku.
ReplyDeleteJust imagined I was listening to Last of the Summer Wine! A true gem.
ReplyDeletelove the haiku! hope it came with a podcast so that i can listen how it should be recited. i am fond of listening to accents!
ReplyDeletemine is here. hope you can visit too!
happy wednesday!
It reads like a foreign language to me - and I've been friendly with several Yorkshire natives!
ReplyDeleteThank you, on behalf of the ABC Team, for your continued participation.
