3WW (CXLII)

Image of a Taoist magic protective charm outside a house in Hong Kong's New Territories.Dear Gentle Reader,

It's 3WW time, again.

This week (CXLII) the words are arresting, rhythmic, and wicked.

Further, each haiku gets its very own American sentence title.



Hypocrite Halos; We're all bad sometimes, the good ones just don't show it

Arresting wicked
thoughts before rhythmic glee bursts
out--half the battle



Bounce, the quicker picker upper, of what? I leave that to you; enjoy.

Wicked away by fresh
towels, rhythmic motions clean,
arresting the spread of filth


Ng--down for the count in the girlie bar, ticker couldn't take tock it

Wicked pleasure (pump)...
rhythmic dancer (pump pumt pump)...
...(cardiac arrest).


Tschuess,
Chris

    They're all good today, Chris.

    The first one makes me think of my high school maxim: "If you can't be good, be good at it!" The second is genius, and the third is definitely a case of being good at it :)

    Ha! never even consider the 'wick' pronunciation. Obviously you are way more clever than I!

    You are the wicked one today, Brother Scribe! Definitely dig the alternate take on "wicked" in Haiku2, and 3 be hilarious, charajiji. And no, that's not one of your Word Verifications. Let's call it Armenian for imp.

    Three! And I like your American sentences. My problem with the form is that most practitioners write sentences you can't imagine anyone saying, yours are sayable-imaginable - or v.v.

    Lot's of exercise in these three! Like the double take on wicked. In summary, it seems we are all guilty of desire and sometimes caught in the act, we leave ourselves a mess requiring others to clean up!
