    Neither. Boxed mac-n-cheese, with hot sauce.

    Sunbeam captured dust
    sinks and rises by currents
    touched only by air.

    ick. I had a gardenburger with jalapenos.

    touched only by air
    the boy in his bubble
    reflects in silence
    "Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."

    I'm in college, so I make do with lots of cheap grosseries.

    Reflects in silence
    the rugged star of westerns,
    all hands with a gun.

    My favorite college food was top ramen with tuna and an egg, saturated with Rooster chili-garlic sauce. I've had my share of gross groceries.

    all hands with a gun
    the wicked wind's a blowin
    meet sundown at Ike's.

    That doesn't sound so gross.

    Meet sundown at Ike's
    the dropping day fills each bowl
    with mystery chow.

    That was really really good, congrats!! Im becoming a big fan of your haikus

    Teeth ache from thinking
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    Gee, quite a modification....

    Glad I am not as overly sensitive about my lame attempt to write, as I am about my artwork.

    I'd call that a total rewrite!

    Virgil, how many syllables should it have? I can rewrite it. I don't really know the technical rules of H. It was really from a longer poem I wrote - modified it quickly for this post.

    my new lame attempt:

    Silence screams within me
    Your ears deafened by the sound
    Pages close forever.

    you skipped my haiku, its a continuation. but im glad youre getting the hang of it!
    here, ill repost mine
    With mystery chow
    Cerebral cows graze roughly
    Teeth ache from thinking

    oh and haiku rules go
    5 syllables
    7
    then 5 again
    and in this forum you begin with the last persons line
    like with mine your first line will be Teeth ache from thinking

    and the next person will start with your last line

    Feel free to ask questions if youre still confused! And welcome!

    heya Janine, no worries Haiku took me a while to learn as well. You'll soon get the hang of it.
    Don't forget the 5, 7, 5 syllabels

    Conviction that is not under-girded by LOVE makes the possessor of that conviction obnoxious and the dogma possessed becomes repulsive - Ravi Zacharias.
