David W. Parsley Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Another daring 5-7-5 composition. Visceral and apparently simple. Except it isn't simple!

mikejewett Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Nice Haiku here! The last line really brings it together so well, and it was unexpected, which I quite like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how you've characterized this: apparently simple, yet not. 23 hours ago, mikejewett said: Nice Haiku here! The last line really brings it together so well, and it was unexpected, which I quite like. And Mike, thank you also! I don't know that this rises to the level of a haiku (other than in syllable count), but it's probably the closest I'll ever get to one! And I'm glad you picked up on the last line; I saw it like that myself but wasn't sure anyone else would.

tonyv Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Thank you, Phil. I was considering a more “witty” line — can’t even remember what it was now — but I then concluded it was just too clever, too much. This is what stayed.

The last line gives me pause. It's doing double-duty with both negative and positive connotations going on ...
