Haiku 55
An experiment at combining Haiku, a 55 Word Story and a 55 Word Zen Koan.
Unreal met real. You
cross my heart, I thread thy wounds-
Portal shuts. The Fall.
---
The spider advanced menacingly, jeered, and cocooned shut a hapless ant for dinner. The silky web glistened strangely in the fluorescent light. A nearby ant-colony despaired.
She giggled. Cuteness.
She pulled her lighter out, lit a Navy Cut and moved the flame. Web, Spider, Dinner all transmogrified into a brilliant fireball.
She giggled again.
---
Angelic smile, tears
Red rose, fears, so many years-
Hot days of Sehnsucht.
---
Cafe Frappe served with a straw. Too many a fake smile, meaningless dance and worthless prophecy. Blue skies, white clouds. Monday bloody monday.
He gazed at the short straw. If he didn't think it short, he would be denying fact. If he thought it short, he opposed reality. What then, did he tell the waiter?
---
Frozen, a raven.
Kissed south, found northern heaven-
Annihilation.

and the answer to your question that was the answer to the blogger question:
People used fingers and palms before they used spoons :D
I find haiku very intimidating..
I one got one thru SMS (have this sneaky feeling the structure is wrong);
"Lonely *his 2 syllable name* with *my 2 syllable name*
play play play play
lonely boy virgin no more"
Yeeesh!!
Finally your profile is accessible..!
