Flamingo's Stare (Haiku) by Bankrupt_Word_Clerk stealing glances in
many directions I see
you staring at me
shift positions
crafting a new parallax
now I'm watching you
watching me from that
angle I can tell that you
really don't see me
only a glimmer
out of the corner of my
eye shows me you left
the pool we were in
politely observing each
other in the murk.
Up the ladder:
Settling In
Down the ladder:

This has a solid, logical structure. Nothing's happening...and there's no need for. Plenty of low crackling electricity. Dare I call this a good poem? I do
I think you could say this better with the restraints of haiku.
do you mean 'without' the restraints?
Sorry, yes. The haiku structure works well for some things, but I get a feeling of being restraind by it in this poem.
