Threefer Haiku
Impulse purchases
liberate you from your cash,
betray your self-worth.
(Sometimes I like to challenge myself by using several prompts at once, and today’s a threefer: “impulse,” “betrayal,” and “liberation,” all courtesy of Writers Island. And speaking of writing prompts, I’ve just posted a new one whose theme is “warning” and/or “caution.”)
Update: My husband Mark (who seems to be turning into a poet) read my haiku and almost immediately came up with his own. I must confess that I like his better:
That impulse buy —
betrayal of frugality.
Ah … liberation.

I like both. Money does not buy happiness but sometimes it does feel a little liberating to get something we deserve.
It all starts with impulse – and you don’t get anything for nothing. But there is always the issue of ‘cost’ and ‘value’.
Great use of all three prompts in such a short and succinct manner !
“betray your self-worth”
heheh you are just awesome at these
