dcmarti1 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (Ok, yes, it's a therapy haiku, but it's cheaper than alcohol or a psychotherapist. Notice "his" and not "their" or "a".) Plums and apricots Crooning on his griddle plate: A fruity torch-song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Yum. I love haiku. But this is a little more than just a haiku. The title takes it to a new dimension. Hmmm "break up" "his griddle plate" At least something was salvaged. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Marti, I'm no expert, but I'd call this a perfect haiku. It's very much to my liking. 48 minutes ago, Tinker said: The title takes it to a new dimension. I agree.
