N. Hatch is up with the contest and theme for this week here. The theme is quite the mind twister. I am so very tired, with much to do yet... Then again, I don't think I will be able to get to much. As usual of late. Especially after getting out today. *zap* So... I'll try to comply. Now. Wouch! The woman might be a noob to haiku, but a) she won, b) she does research so deeply that for my part I am thinking a root canal would be preferable, and c) she got some glitter to her. I'll say it again. Wouch!
Hmm... the theme... that is ticklish, intricate, not for hammers... probably. Tweezers, a microscope or telescope (a big one), a scalpel, perhaps an particle accelerator, and at most a jewelers hammer as might be used to cut a potentially perfect giant raw diamond. Well, and perhaps a few other things, of the mind mind you. Yes, tricky. Let me stop... procrastinating with fancy notions and... take a look. The limit is two, so... here.
True Story
he ran, lifted, svelte
he ate right, he lived well, tops
exercise killed him
'Nother True Story :p
beautiful berries
destroyed by those awful birds ~
seed in new places
I am writing more, but just for here. Two is the limit, and for good reason. Besides, I have noted that if I go past, say, four or five I begin repeating anyway. So... these are just for here and me, really.
there once was a man
from Nantucket who could not
rhyme- just took some time

Twist Indeed
the sword unsheathed -shickkk
the cut swift, judicious, clean
honor saved life lost
mother short ~ dad tall
mix and match ~ who gets which genes
tall(er) - is that good?
Fantastic x 2! Love the irony of the first and the shift of perspective in the second ~ elevated farther still by the image of a bird's eye view of a bird's eye view.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the last line has 6 syllables by my count.
If you revise the last line down to 5 syllables, I'll swap it out in your entry on my post as well.
ReplyDeleteBoth are great! I love the humor of the 2nd one with the visual.
ReplyDeleteI am glad they work for you, ladies. I gotta tell you, after I wrote them, then published here, I was feeling low about the process. But... it's what I can do. I usually don't care what (most) other's think, but this time... confirmation soothes a wounded ego.
ReplyDeleteI did have to think, hard, about whether to include the last visual. It just seems... so personal, and I'm not feeling personable right now, downright private, and guarded. Still... a little laughter... medicine of it's own.
My mother was short. My dad was tall.
ReplyDeleteI got the shrimpy genes.
I was doing research on seppuku this morning. It turns out the women also committed suicide by cutting the artery in their necks.
I actually have a hard time with blood. I become real woozy at the sight of it.
Oh.. The wooziness includes the above seppuku art. I think it is just the idea of it. Gah, I have to stop thinking about it .. :-)
ReplyDeleteI almost wish the site of blood made me weak in the knees. I wouldn't be here if it did. Not that I wish not to be here, now... Just that it was a long road to get to enjoying here and now. Sorry about upsetting your notions, though.
ReplyDeleteShrimpy genes are perfect for a woman. Petite is hotness. Or can easily be a form of it. Well, and it calls on all a man's instinct to protect. That instinct is as blind as, say, a mother's love. But some things can heighten or weaken it. Being petite adds to it, and some other things for a man. We are wolves, in a way, and small prey... Well... :p
Then again, women look for larger targets, from their own perspective. Battleships to buzz...
You posted a new picture, hellboy .. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou noticed! But!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you like the new look? It makes me look fatter, but, you know, I'm a guy. We can look fat and be as happy as a pig in mud. More food please! :)
Sure.. :-) and it only makes you look a little fat..
ReplyDelete*laughs, hard*
ReplyDeleteTeh Funna!
