Here’s my attempt for this week’s words Pie (sweet) and Dust . . .

♦

Temptation is sweet

My body pleads like a child

The dust then settles

Followed by sting of regret

I broke my diet again!

Last week I didn’t get a chance to post ‘Haiku Friday’, so this is what I came up with last week’s words Sing and Flower

♦

Little flower sleeps

Curled up like a tiny seed

Dreaming of singing

In the morn the sun will shine

Stretch up tall and sing your song

    Oh temptation… Thanks for both poems. Love the flower one (and the other one although it’s too close for comfort :)) Have a great weekend, Vashti

      That’s awesome! With the first one I wanted to guide the mind toward one thing and then surprise with something unexpected. Not sure if I achieved that, but I tried. 😉 ❤

    Two beautifully strong haiku! Imagery that nearly breaks into the 3rd dimension. Wonderful, wonderful ❤

      Ha, ha! It can be difficult at times. I love fruit and they usually sustain me but occasionally chocolate can really be tempting.

    When the dust settles after indulging in the pie comes the regret. Great haiku you carve here 🙂
    I would like to invite you to my blog party which just started. Link is titled ‘it’s party time come right in.”

    These are really good. I also love that artwork. For some reason, now I want to watch Rocky Horror again.

    Oh dear, I know that sting of regret! Great, relatable haiku. And I can just see the sunflower rising up in response to the second haiku.

    Both poems are very immediate Vashti, the second one is a cheery imaginative soul warmer

    Those RED lips and how just lips could show proper reaction is amazing…you give life to them. I love the Haiku. Inbtw: were you really ‘watching’ the weight? LOL

      Isn’t it amazing how expressive lips/mouth can be? The artist Sara Pope did a great job capturing that. Aww. Thank you for giving me so much credit. 🙂 Always . . . always watching the weight. It’s an American obsession.

    The first haiku made me giggle…can so relate!! And the second made me smile, beautifully poetic, human flowers. Trying to decide which flower I might like to be…

      I think I’d like to be a daisy. Not the prettiest but certainly one of the strongest and most resilient. I’m happy you enjoyed the post.
