A momentary respite from The Unlucky Twenty-Six, a saga of twenty-six unlucky children that is being composed piece by piece throughout National Poetry Month. Today's episode will feature Morris.
This week's words are
touching
visible
stage
moral corruption!
visible touching on stage!
but they weren't nude, mom
faded old stage coach
bullet holes still visible
touching history
visible no more
but still touching hearts and lives
the world was her stage

For a moment, I did not see the comma in the last line of the first haiku!
green eyed monster
I like these - the stage coach with bullet holes is interesting and so fine! They are all nifty!
pjd,
Neat haikus.
I remember non-nude touching from high school and mom was right to worry. ;)

Wow, love the three different stages of these! All were enjoyable!
One funny, one serious, one contemplative.
The full range!
All three had a touch of nostalgia. Well done!
Your comment cracked me up as I re-read it. LOL
The last one is beautiful.
but they weren't nude, mom
I cracked up at that line. Hilarious!
oh that second one is perfection.. stage coach.. damn ... why couldn't i have thought of that!!!!
i do not know why but i have not till now had you in my reader... shame on me.. i have to catch up on the unlucky children asap... i love the concept!!!!
3 little stories done beautifully!
the first one makes me laugh, the second makes me curious and the third makes me see someone in tights on stage, what does that say about me?
as usual, quite a fun read
Great job. My favorite is the first, reminds me of my born-again (mis-guided) roots.
I really liked all three - but the middle one took me back to another place in which I never existed - the Western Frontier! Great haiku's
enjoyed the touch of each world reflected...
