Relentless current,
pulls her beneath, while laughter
echoes from the shore.
Picnic at the park,
we nibble our delusions,
consuming ourselves.

It’s funny because I just read a piece by another blogger that contained that word. Gotta love those ‘coincidences.’

Haiku is a great way to learn rhythm, cut glue words, discover how much garf is in our word count. In fact syllable count is one of the best ways to remanufacture a corrupt sentence.

I could write ’em all day. Hmm, a full story using only haiku…?

In theory Haiku should be a full story.

I read an Indie “short story” anthology not long ago and all but one would have been much better off as Haiku.

Both very good uses of the Haiku. I will be pondering their suggestions of meaning and menace. Both should always be considered for all our ponderings and actions. Thank you.
