Mum why are grandmas arms so baggy? (Haiku) by ==Doylum
With age comes wisdom retirement and bingo then wings to fly there

Up the ladder: the abandoned sea
Down the ladder: Despair

I can see flying to bingo, but wisdom and retirement. That is stretching it. But then maybe you mean to the midlands or to the place where kitty went.

Doesn't exploit the inherent qualities of haiku very well. Not concrete enough. They say/With age comes wisdom,/retirement,/bingo - /then wings to fly there. Why not break it up. No need for a rigid, meaningless structure that has nothing to do with the poem. Normally I'd let it go but it seems so pained.s
