This week's words areglare
luster
threat
All that work this summer has begun to pay off. We reached $5.28 million in donations by the end of the first day of our campaign, and we're over $6 million as of right now. Here's hoping the next 28 and a half days bring us to another amazing total. I am so thankful to work for a company that has such remarkably generous employees.
glare and empty threat
luster of child's broad grin
ice melts on vase shards
gold's glare blinds the king
wish granted hides deadly threat
wealth's luster now dulled
glare of the luster
who covets his neighbor's wife
threat to both their souls

The Glare of Threat
All are so good that it isn't easy to pick a favourite!
it was not a dream, certainly not a memory
Good ones- can't pick because I have a headache and thinking too hard hurts, but I think it may be #2.
Totally love 'em all. Loved the mischeif in #1 and the tease in #2 :D
Great images - great word usages.
So clever...all three of them!
Yeah, cool! I like the way you changed the use of the word luster in the end one!
Nice haiku! One of the best forms of poetry for reading out loud, methinks.
Thank you for stopping by and reading, y'all! I do appreciate it.
I am for the 3rd one.

I really liked the last haiku, because it reminded me of a story I had to read as a child. Well done!
