Enough with the light limericks for today! Here’s some heavy (for me) haiku, inspired by a handful of poetry prompts.
First up: It’s A Blog Eat Blog World serves us gravy as inspiration, while Weekend Wordsmith hands us the word hand to run with, and Writers Island provides the friendship. Put the three together and you get:
A hand in friendship
Would please and gratify me.
Love would be gravy.
Next, 3WW asks us to use the words compensate, modern and radio in poem or prose. My classical music background probably had something to do with this haiku using that trio of words:
Modern radio
Fails to compensate for our
Dying symphonies.
Finally, Haiku Sunday requests haiku about belonging:
All my belongings—
The ones the thieves didn’t steal—
Scattered and estranged.
