Two Haiku

When prompted to use the words curious, eventually, and shower in a poem, this haiku more or less wrote itself:

I am curious:
Will you eventually
Shower? I hope so.

And here’s another haiku, this one inspired by an earth-themed prompt:

There’s no earthly way
I’d ever vote for global
Warming deniers.

It’s always kind of scary when you have to wonder if someone is going to shower

These two haikus gave me a nice grin; thanks! I do plan to shower in the next couple of hours.

The first haiku is powerful ~ a self talk that paints a nice unfinished imagery in the mind of someone looking up the skies, palms open questioning and hoping. The reader in the end gives the complete picture.

I saw it rained.

I wish you well.
