On second thought, make mine nine. This one still does it for me.

And I've changed it again. This time: "as careful as the arrangement" to "like the careful arangement" and "somebody's cat" became "someone's cat"
and I changed morning to morn. But then it seemed out of place, so I changed it back to morning again. Thouroughly modern.

I wasn't sure about that one, but I think you're right. Still, the word "untitled" is still a title. On this site, anyway. It's just a crappy, common title.
And it's been a while since I've seen a traditional haiku here.
Like I said, it has become a pet peeve of mine.

I'm going to stay out of this one.

On the other hand, everyone else seems to love it, so what do I know?
replying on She Puts The Fun In Funeral by David 9 Dec 2002, 6:21 PM
I'm not sure. Not a moral. Maybe slight closure? It needs an ending.

Okay, okay, I guess I came on way too strong. Untitled poems are just a pet peeve of mine. As for the haikus, I just meant that I have no idea what they are about, and maybe a title would help. Peace?

coming from you, this is high praise indeed. now i really AM blushing!

But i still want to say "morn" instead of "morning". It just sounds better to my ear... Hrmm...

...and i thank you. I wasn't sure about this one...

Despite your high-falutin' words, I like it. Yup. I read it aloud and it sounds good to me. Or do I just love my own voice? Who knows.
So olympian, I admire. Now I go back to the cthonic.

Cool.

Firstly, all poems should have titles. A child without a name must not be loved. Secondly, a Haiku NEEDS a title. Without a title, these haikus are meaningless to me.
Alas.

I like it, but it feels unfinished.

Outwardly I may be humble, but deep inside I'm awash with arrogance. As all writers must be?

Aw shucks, y'all are makin me blush.

Thanks very much for the comments.
It's so hard to get rid of some words,
they are children in the brambles
with scratches and dirt
but beloved none the less.

I shall be merciless.

BTW you rock.
