Haiku

[sKiZo]

It was not my fault
that I gobbled down too much.
(Evil marketing).

turkey on the field
nfl thanksgiving feast
(should it have more legs?)

 

[Te-Te]

A strutting turkey
Looks much like a centipede
With that many legs..

 

[sKiZo]

The poor centipede
Has a hard time finding shoes
For a hundred feet

 

[bobsvinyl]

A centipede's name
was changed to tendollarpede
due to inflation.

 

[yzzaj]

An awful dancer
People called the centipede
One hundred left feet....

 

[sKiZo]

Freddie Mercury
I wish you were still with us
Grateful for the years

 

[bobsvinyl]

Quicksilver flowing.
Catching light, changing it's shape.
Poisonous beauty.

 

[SolderIron]

Where is the darn thing
My glasses are missing
Who is hiding it

 

[onepixel]

Night falls quietly
The winter chill sets in
Fire warms the cold

 

[yzzaj]

All around the house
Multiple reading glasses
They play hide and seek

 

[Te-Te]

It is snowing out
Wood stove is getting hot now
So cozy tonight.

Te-Te is snuggled
Wrapped up in his blankie
With his binky too

Wondered what Te-Te
Looked like in the physical
Thank you for sharing!

DNU Great use of imagery (shape shifter). No use of articles (the, a/an), or no pronouns (they, us, I, he/she, etc.) Use of alteration on the "c's. Use of participles "ing's" (1/2 verbs/1/2 adjectives) to hooking ideas together. Use of double metaphor (snake/chemical toxin?.

Excellent word craft, Bob!

Tough to get this close of Japanese POV of word perfection with only 17syllables and 3 lines. For them, it is always close... but not quite there.

Yes, really lovely haiku!

We do fool around a lot in here, but I’m not real strict on the hooking together part.

just enjoying each of the contributions.

I hear ya...fun to just express yourself. I think it's great to see so many take the language and bend it to their will.

Guess its like a sport. You can just have an outing just for fun, or can take it to the next level. It's whatever you want to enjoy. I saw something in Bob's creation that was special!

To each their own, eh? This is what AK is all about...to share, learn and to appreciate.

[vinylGirlFl]

Couldn’t agree with you more, Quadman2.

Bob’s Haiku was very special!

Da·liesque
/ˌdälēˈesk/

[Te-Te]

Unpredictable
Water overflows it's banks
Turtles find safety.

 

[vinylGirlFl]

Shadows beyond reach
Dreaming or daring to grasp
Bending and opaque
