    I don't know if it's accidental or not, but this haiku is hilarious!

    Joefish - it is and it isn't accidental. My goal in haiku is to capture an image with a minimum of editorial interference on my part. What usually ends up happening is a veritable trash heap of tampering, manipulation and obfuscation. This is no exception.

    For whatever it's worth Mr. Bitter, I think you achieve your stated goal, at least from the readers perspective. You make it look so easy, I'm sure it's not. I always enjoy your haiku.

    squarehead - thank you for the words of encouragement. I do work at it, much in the same way Mrs. Bitter works at her photography.
