Haiku is a most important part of literature. Haikus are poignant and deep in thought.

I think you have got it too Alf, but remember that anything to do with nature, food and the elements (weather) are Haiku, anything else is Senryu. I think it's very cleverly done and top marks to you for achieving a good effort. Don't forget the check out your syllables as some can have more in them than you think. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

Yes I agree Alf trying something new and your idea of a little story works so well. I particularly like the last stanza and this is no doubt, what haiku is all about. 10 Karin Anderson

I agree entirely with Frank, but I also think it is quite clever. Haiku however can be fun to write, try doing one without the rhyme. Bob

Hmmm...A crime, as well as prison time, perhaps...if you stood afront the altar of a Zen Monastery prayer room, and recited this to 12 over-wined monks....But aside from that, Alf, i'm going to say: Inventive & Nice Work! FjR
