[Most of the time when we'd come home from school and were asking for a snack it was out of habit. We were often hoping to snag some junk food but Mom's pat answer was always, "have an apple or a banana." Her reasoning was, of course, that she didn't want us to ruin our appetites for supper.]
Vaughn i enjoyed the verse, i would put it in the genre Senyru, i would have liked to see the word 'hunger' in Line One though, with Line Two being 'Mom say,'; acting as the pivot.
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'.
