a slip of the tongue things in threes go black

oh, my goth - senryu for Prune Juice

sulky goth -
she found Gothenburg
full of Swedes*

*

going goth
she skips the solarium
for a darkroom

*

goth revival -
”After midnight” suddenly
makes sense

*

baffled -
how to turn vampire
when she's a vegan*

*

skewed waltzes aged goths rediscover Berlin -33

*

after christmas
she returns the sun tan lotion
for bleach

*

”After midday
we're gonna let it all hang out” -
daring goths

*

french kiss -
goth lovers buy antiseptics
by the gallon

*

defangulator: a person who un-entagles goths after a french kiss

*

hardly a tanned spot vactaion in the catacombs

*

”it's your funeral” -
the goth-child claps
his small claws

*

barbed wire
the goth not ready
to go wi-fi

*

bluetooth?
the goth thinks
it's about nobility

*

”I'm at the end of my rope” the goth smiles and dangles off

5 one-line ku

broken strip every 5 minutes the scene starts over

:

nameless for a little while I see a shadow

:

cocky youth after the first word silence

:

in parallel lines for the same ocean blind

:

& this rock I stand on weightless

haiga variations

Given the picture as a prompt, this is what came out (or what I finished, rather):

graphic haiku

Made for the NaHaiWriMo prompt Jan 8 -12

lingam of light - descriptive/illustrative haiga (yikes)

 

Usually I don't care for haiga where image & text describe each other. I mean: most people can identify the switch in this image, so there'd be no reason to write "switch" ... I'd rather have the image being "the 4. line" of the haiku so that image & text together makes up the complete work. BUT, having this shown on my wall was just too tempting.

here it ends - graphic haiku
