Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were: filth, addicted, and defiant.
Haiku 1.
We choose what offends—
One’s muck is another’s cream.
Filth is subjective.
◊◊◊
Haiku 2.
Addicted to gods;
Faith in fairies and voodoo—
Why do we need them?
◊◊◊
Haiku 3.
He stands defiant,
Denying the obvious—
The rich coal miner.

ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteThe last one particularly.
The first one made me smile ~ Thanks for the haiku ~
ReplyDeleteGrace
Each one made me stop and think - invariably i agree with the message tucked in each little piece of coal
ReplyDeleteLoved each of the haiku.. as all have their own charm :)
ReplyDeleteWell penned.
I feel that there is more addiction to goods than to gods alas.. But maybe it's still the purpose of those divine beings.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! The first one is hilarious. :)
ReplyDeleteAll three are dope... the 2nd. I often wonder, tho I believe in a God, that belief doesn't rule my life and way of living.
ReplyDeleteA use of the word 'dope' I am not familiar with. :-/
Deletewe choose... poorly, so often. funny, that 2nd one, the 2nd line I somehow read as "very volcano". The dementia must be setting in... ~
ReplyDeleteDelightful and true! We deny our truths and affirm our wrong choices. This is most surely the cream of haiku!
