Not Worshiped
An idol,
Many years ago,
Lost a bet.

Hush, Hush, Sweet Scarlett
Yes, Scarlett?
Brett, get off the couch –
Mow the grass!

Birth
Each baby
Out of the darkness
Into light.

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

Every one of these is terrific! And I did laugh out loud at the first one.
Thanks. It occurred to me as I looked at the photo for the first one that he was being punished. 🙂
I particularly liked the third one. It is a lovely image
I saw the photo and wrote the haiku and noticed somewhere along the way that the photo was “untitled”. I think “birth” might be fitting, but that’s just what I saw in it. 🙂 Thanks.
