orang37 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Important caution: you can only lose if you do not play. Each haiku* submitted is a homeopathic inoculation against that most deadly side-effect of the toxic air we breathe, loss of sense of humor. Scientific studies have shown the powerful correlation of loss of sense of humor and a wide variety of psychosomatic phenomena including compulsive complaining, in-grown smile, fantasies of necrophilia and cannibalism, glossolalia while sleep-walking leading to attacks by soi-dogs, etc. Here's your first jab: i am all choked up, not because you're leaving me: it's Chiang Mai spring air * by haiku we mean some kind of three line anything where one line has seven syllables, and, the other two have five syllables 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orang37 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Congratulations to canthai55 and Sticky Rice Balls ... our first two winners ! You may wonder if the suggested syllable lengths for the three line entries are "rules:" we can only reply that in the face of such artistic charisma our "rules" are as flexible, as frequently changing, as ... immigration law, and the weekly/daily "get the touri$t$ back here" initiatives of Expatria's officialdom. Special awards for canthhai55 for the darkly existential climax of "Arise Dead Horse Arise," and to Sticky Rice Balls for his nuanced use of metric structure and rhyme suggestive of the venerable Limerick school of poetry !
