The Prompt Words
Lock & Gab
My Example
A lock of your hair
Stays silent lips forever
Gab secrets no more
The following is how the sentences should read.
A lock of your hair stays silent lips forever.
Stays silent lips forever, gab secrets no more.
Brilliant! 😀
Thanks, Callum. I wanted to write something humerous, because it didn’t quite work out!
I never like to read any of the haiku anyone posts before writing my own so that I am not influenced by what I’ve read. It seems in our case, great minds think alike 🙂 we opened the same way. Love the haiku BTW.
Thank you 🙂 I loved yours too. And I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I’m even hesitant to use Ronovan’s example because it puts thoughts in my head!
I like that–‘a lock with no key’. Load up the crampons and oxygen for a quick escape.
Lol 😀
Bit of a silly question — I don’t know a lot about haikus. Is that how they should all be read — i.e. repeating the middle sentence? Either way enjoyed both yours and Ronovan’s!
It’s not a silly question at all 🙂 the sentences are put together to act as an example because the first and second line should make a sentence and the second and third line should also make a sentence – it’s just to demonstrate that they do. I’m learning so much about the haiku. One of the things I find most challenging is that there should ideally be two opposing ideas. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😀
Hi Melissa! Love it! I should print your haiku on T-shirts and hand them out as gifts for certain people. Ha, ha! 😉
Ha! I love that you get where my mind went! Thank you 😀
Great minds think alike. 😉 xx
They absolutely do! x
