While we’re all stuck indoors for the foreseeable, we thought we’d put together a Gransnet daily challenge to keep us all busy and entertained. We’ll post a different challenge every morning on a range of different topics - food, fitness, arts, crafts, writing, etc.

First up...write a haiku about your favourite person or your favourite food.

For those like me who have not yet branched into creative writing of this type, here's how to do it courtesy of wikihow

To write a haiku poem, write a poem that's 3 lines long and make sure each line has the right number of syllables. Give the first line 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables, and the third line 5 syllables.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

We can't see it yet,
Our life beyond Corona
Like blue above clouds

His Spitfire flypast,
Proud triumph bursting dream’s clouds,
Speeds by as do years....

Candles lit last night
A day to remember dead
Lessons to be learnt

It all smells lovely
We badly needed this rain
Everything’s so dry

There was a daughter
Whose room was a disaster
I wish it was now

There once was a Son
Who loved doing the dishes
I died laughing...ha

A laugh every day
Sure does keep the blues away
So try it right now

Humour is the best
Without it humans despair
That should not happen

No rubbing noses
And no kissing or hugging
It's no fun at all

I'm bad at Haiku
But it's good for our brain cells
So I'll keep trying.

Why are you awake
We assume you cannot sleep
Or are too busy
