haiku wednesday - July 15, 2009

This week's words are
drip
hypnotic
sulk

Although I didn't have a very difficult time with the words this week, "sulk" was a reluctant participant. Plus, that's one of those words that sounds funny if you say it a lot. Sulk. Sulk. Sulk. sulk sulk sulk sulk. See? (Aloof is also one of those words.)

high clouds sulk, aloof
hypnotic waves smooth lake's sand
tears drip from willow

your wine-sulk bores me
hypnotic gyrations lure
I melt, drip in pools

it's hypnotic--gross!
that drip hanging from your nose
is your sulk done yet?

    Oh, that last one could apply to so many of my students! Made me laugh!

    All three are excellent!

    The last was fun; the first my favourite - so visual.

    I like the first one but didn't really care to picture someone with a runny nose - still I am always amaze how you can come up with such haikus

    Great - you did it AGAIN! I love the reference to weeping willow in the first, the seduction in the second and the plea of the third!

    Very nice, especially the first one, although I found "wine-sulk" pretty captivating, too.

    Eek - our landlord (when I was a kid) always had a drip on the end of his nose - and he was a BAKER! Did you have to remind me of that?!
