Undertow (Haiku) by eliastemplar
turn off all the lights beneath the cold that covers your only summer

Up the ladder: Panacea
Down the ladder: These are not just words

Um... Correct me if I'm wrong here but this isn't a Haiku right? I mean 5-7-5? This is 5, maybe 6, and 4. No vote from me on this one.

technically it is. virtually it is. actually it is.
and if you thought for a second about it, you'd agree it's powerful.

knowing you're in the service, eliastemplar, this poem evokes service on a submarine. i know how long those guys/women are gone for, and the blackness between news.

nice job, sir.

Whenever I catch a cold, this big black snot falls out of my left nostril and curls in my lap like a muskrat would if it tried.

When some mother birds sense danger to their chicks they'll pretend they broke their wing and flap around to distract the predator.
