A(nother) Haiku Study

Haiku - My New (Not So) Guilty Passion

I don't blame myself. It's just that the prompts from dX Live Open Mic speak to me strongly. In Haiku.

I think Haiku fit in nicely with my world view - let's start with something simple and from there create something extraordinary. Or at least I hope extraordinary!

My Latest Inspiration

Just look at this image and tell me it doesn't ask, nay, scream, for Haiku:

Prompt word = rose

Properly inspired, I wrote the following:

Petal strewn path

Discover what lies beyond

Is that the hare?

Perfumed obstacles

Miasma tickles my nose

Misstep and I sneeze

Graceful tawny neck

Ink spattered fused amber scales

Pink stained toenails

Party detritus

Wedding guests dance elsewhere

Nature clambers on

Paused tortoise movement 

in dangerous surroundings

Prowling calico

I can't wait to see what the next dX Live Open Mic brings!
