holy unhaiku
by Elizabeth Jill
(-ku parentheses)
poem wandering - in drifts
holy unhaiku
split infinitive
feathers fly, fast gathering
emphasis is míen
rivers runalong
sunbathing under eons,
empathy's comma
Abbreviate. Then
sin. Fully. Then deny't.
wds r shameless crooks.
Writ in warning: pens
form spiraling mosaic
haiku sinning spree

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 09/07/09 at 04:18 PM You swirl the form into a delight for the eyes and ears and the haikulover in me. Clever spacing and un-ing. |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 10/20/09 at 12:48 PM you quilly, jilly, has me spiraling on my cone like vanilla swirl. your odes have taken hold, on them I am completely sold and
one taste of such is to negate all the sour tastes and notes I've ever noticed taking hold in my cochlea and palate. |
