haiku wednesday - August 20, 2008

This week's words are
bored
habit
settle

Happy #100, 3WW! I hope these words don't reflect how bone feels about 3WW. These seem like the foundation for a depressing Arthur Miller play. But it seems I can have fun with almost any set of three words.



nun's eyes settle cold
tilted habit towering
hole bored through my soul


bored, chubby bus girl
contents settle in shipping
donut habit weighs


settle in the burbs
bored wife picks up bad habit
caught with neighbor, nude

The bored, chubby bus girl was my favorite, because it is an unexpectedly funny response to some sad, bad words. I liked all three, really. Wasn't bored at all.

Even though I am not Catholic, I felt a certain fear reading the first haiku. You have a wonderful series of ku's based on this prompt.

These couldn't be better. I still have a grin-marked face.

I really think I should bow down and hail to the Haiku king if I ever met one! Dude this is like being a word champion! I am never EVER disappointed to read any of the haiku' s that you come up with for 3Ww - in all seriousness -its is some kind of genius! I love all three but number one is my fave! So I also urge to collect all of these in a compilation and sell it on ebay - all of us 3ww would buy it I'm sure!
My 3ww is entitled Old Habits Die Hard I Know I kill Them - please check it out and let me know what you think!

Thanks, all! Keep the flattery coming, whether it's sincere or not. Amarettogirl has raised the bar, though. I may have to have a running contest... I've discovered I like to be flattered and I am very good at convincing myself that it's true, it's all true. So let me think on this, but I might start a contest wherein the best adulatory blarney in my comments wins you your name in a haiku, or limerick, or sonnet or something.

LOL

Excellent observation. One might have to guess that perhaps he does after all this time?

But your instructions were right: I was not bored while reading your haiku. :)
