S&M Haiku Challenge

Nod to Domina Dea’s Challenge

Offering

He gripped his ankles firmly

Uncut, thick, focused, filled, and fooled

Screaming that nothing was damaged.

Fly by Hai – Haiku Challenge

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Yesterday was yet another Coterie luncheon with  Lady Hotchkiss and Domina Dea.  The major topic of discussion was DomCon, where the three of us will be presenting.  If you plan to attend, please let us know.

Anywhoo, they had a grand old time teasing me about haikus.  Domina Dea had posted a haiku challenge and encouraged  me to post one too.  I’m not a poetry kind of gal but I couldn’t resist attempting something that seemed a bit complex at the time.

I wrote this sitting outside on the deck.  It is overcast and the color of the woods has turned from green to caramel.

Fly by Hai

The leaves are falling slowly
Summer flying by much too fast
Ice will freeze and sheathe

I owe one with an S&M theme. *shakes head*
