Pickups, Not Cadillacs
We Texans
Often drive big trucks
To show off.

Could it be
Taking off a mask

Evening Call
Setting sun;
Hospital visit –

* The haiku I write are lines of 3-5-3 syllables instead of 5-7-5.

The Bard on the Hill 
Very creative, Dennis. Beautiful use of double meanings in the last two.
Thanks. I often wonder how many do catch the double meanings. Probably most. But there was one of my poems in particular that had a double meaning of a different sort in the title. And, I always wondered if anybody caught – since no one commented on it. 🙂
Oh, Wow … now I’m going to have to scour back through your posts and see if I can find it. My curiosity won’t let me rest until I do. It may take a few days, but I’ll let you know.
It’s not haiku. Do you want me to give you a month or two that it might be in, to narrow your search? A month is only about 7 or 8 of my regular poems. 🙂
Yes, please. Give me a 2-month range. That way, I might be able to find it. Of course, then I have to be able to understand the double meaning. But I need a good challenge that has nothing to do with my job right now. Thanks.
It may be rather obvious as you’re looking. The title will seem different from my others. And, it’s not a double meaning like the ones in those last two haiku either. You won’t have any trouble understanding it when you find it if you do it right. 🙂 And, you won’t need to look at the poem at all – just the title. It’s one of my regular poems in either October or November of 2011. Say it fast. 🙂
You write as much as Stephen King.

The second is very profound … the third goes straight to the heart.
