Haikus that are Bananas

 Today is freeXpressions we had this prompt:



Which inspired these haikus:


ripening fruit

upright green candles

brown withered wicks


a monkey

might go bananas for

something to eat


how is it

all those shades of green

don’t clash


amongst the fruit

sitting at the bottom

is there a runt?


banana buffet

a profusion of choices

with the same great taste


aficionados 

wait impatiently chanting

dole them out


a herd of green slugs

effective camouflage? 

birds still eat them


someone in there

gave a tell-all interview

secrets unveiled


in the background

blurry avocado?

guacamole feast


a fruit’s happy day

does not involve being

eaten in one gulp


seedless is needless

anti-involuntary 

sterilization


stem and leaves feel

slighted. why is fruit

the star of the show


everyone look here

if you see the camera

Iit can see you


raised in close quarters

it’s why they’re sold in bunches

avoids loneliness


why point up?

isn’t down a good option?

has anyone checked?


are they blemishes

speckled brown on skin

or are they freckles?
