‘Poetry in Motion’
It’s poetry day here at The Greg Brady Project. Time to sharpen our pencils and make the world a whole lot brighter by sharing some inspiring verse. The format? Why, haiku, of course. For the uninitiated, haiku is a Japanese poetic device in which three related images are described successively in three lines. In English, it is often expressed using exactly five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the last line. Here, then, are some Barry-inspired examples:
Barry is not Greg.
Some people think otherwise.
What a patient man.
Get the idea? Feel those creative juices flowing? Here’s another one:
Johnny Bravo rocks
just because he fits the suit.
There’s bread in those threads.
Yes, you can barely control the impulse to try one for yourself, right? Here’s another:
He grew up Brady,
a nation’s older brother.
Now, Siriusly.
Thank you, thank you. And now it’s your turn. Give us your best Barry Haiku!

Won’t my beanstalks grow?
Why are all the clowns so sad?
He hasn’t met you.

Greg is a Brady,
and Barry is a Wiliams.
What can all this mean?

1.
With looks and talent
He is abundantly blessed,
This groovy Brady.
2.
Wearing the Tiki,
Surfing Hawaiian waves…
Hearts leap aflutter.
(I just couldn’t resist this one…!)
