Whales (Haiku) by Jeremi B. Handrinos
A whale's suicide. Beaching herself with eyes wide. Cleaner than Ocean. Dry docked whale boat. Captain strikes match off his leg. Leaning on that bone. Boy visits sea world. Falls into Killer Whale tank. The whales save his life.

Up the ladder: Only In Your Dream

I remember in third grade I wrote

Save the whales
Save them all
Save the whales
Big and small

I thought I was a genius. I later found out I was wrong.

"All(1)+ people(2)+ are(1)+ flawed(2)" = 6.
Maybe...
"All people are flaws"
It's a little harsher but it fits.

Why is flawed two? say it. does it sound like two to you. Would whaled be two too?

Yes and yes. But you're the author so if it doesn't to you then whatever.

line 1 and two rhyming is a distraction. haiku 2 and three are freakin' awesome, worth a doubloon apeice.

That last haiku seems really awkward and out of place with the other two.
