autumn kitchen —
a buzzing fly settles
on an edge
[Notes]
About Masago
- Masago
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

Flypaper
no escape—
yell in a loud voice
till you're dead
--Taneda Santoka
about three weeks ago we had them
thick and slow.
I sneak up on them and clap my hands right above them. Flies always take up straight up -- and they fly right into my clapping hands.
So my take would be:
A buzzing fly promenades
on the edge
I applaud
ha ha ha... then make sure you scrub your hands
nice one

The November offerings are preciously lovely, speaking to the heart and the soul..senile butterfly has an interesting intput, makes your poem even better if both are set side by side
I wrote a poem last Sunday--that I can't get finished, about a fly flying around me in the boat. Trying to avoid the inevitable!!
i like this one :)
funny, i've been trying to compose a fly haiku (yes, they're sneaking in here, too) lately but couldn't make it work...
SB: That's a painful expression. Thanks for sharing that.
Pamela: Them little beggars are sneaky. And that is a clever idea with the hand-clapping...kinda messy though. :-)
John: Thank you.
Plus: I agree about November...some nice poems are being written. Thanks.
Pat: Wow, I look forward to seeing a fly-boat-destiny poem in the near future.
Aurora: ;-)
Polona: Thanks. I know the feeling. Sometimes I see a concept and wonder if I could ever work it into a haiku. Quite often something will inspire the words to flow.
I was smiling myself a while when reading this haiku and the comments! Agree with plus ultra!
Here inside the EU this buzzing fly would announced an object of protection? So beware not to make any harm for it!
Tikkis: I'm pleased you were amused. I don't understand what you mean re: "announced an object of protection"?
