Haiku Wednesday Freestyle

Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Join the fun!
You know ... that Blog?

Today's topic is Freestyle

Freestyle? So does that mean the subject is freestyle, or that we are free to do our own thing?
I guess I get to choose! lol


Liquorice Allsorts
They take all my favourites
and leave the black ones


Dawn frost across fields
Lingers longer in the shade
Negative shadows


Frantic butterfly
Not a fish out of water
Speeding to a crawl

    I love the first haiku. Happens to me every time I buy Allsorts, so I don't buy them any more.

    I really like your first haiku but I think your second is your best yet! "Dawn frosts across field" - wonderful evocative imagery!!

    Take care

    Ooooo, each of these is wonderful! Negative shadows, speeding to a crawl, and taking the best pieces! Loved 'em!

    "Negative shadows" - LOVE THAT!!

    I'm glad you're hooked, it's great to have you with us!

    And yes, freestyle means "anything you want", although a couple folks took it the other way... It's all good!

    I like all of these, you've captured many aspects of the theme. (I haven't had liquorice allsorts in yonks and now want some!)

    I'm glad you've posted about taking time to pop in on every crusader, I was in a bit of a tizzy about it and now don't feel I have to visit everyone in 24 hours!
