I think the middle one was best. You could get hooked on that :-)

Jane Doe said...

Although they are all good, I like the first one the best.

Actually the third made me laugh which I need because of what you said on the first--that one was great

Have to say, I have no faves - like them all!

PJD said...

anthony, be careful out there... :-)

jane, thanks for the comment. the first one is obviously in honor of the fifth anniversary.

pia, great to see you again... though it took me a while to understand what you meant. I finally got it, but at first I thought you meant the two were somehow connected.

every one a gem in it's own area of expertise... that last one is a kicker!!!!

a serious set of haikus (is haiku plural or singular?), so much in so little space.

WriterKat said...

love them! I like the 3rd best, good contrast with confuse/understood.

Perfect adore them all - you're so darn clever ;)

UL said...

first for me....short and to the point! blood for oil, what has the world come to?

nteresting how you weave the words into three separate poems. For me, it created a cohesion between the three. You could even think about joining them somehow. It's interesting how the word money can be seen in so many contexts.

I like all! They tell so much!

Thanks again for the comments, all. I really enjoyed the diversity of all your creations as well.

You have an ability to say a whole lot in just seventeen syllables.

I really liked the third for its depth. Although the second--paying two girls to mudwrestle--was great, too :)

PJD said...

ah, bone, mud wrestling... you're the first to mention it, but I like that interpretation best of all.

I loved the last one. :)
