3WW (CLII)

Blurred image of an Ambassador taxi, in India, taken during a bouncy ride...Dear Gentle Reader,

It's 3WW time, again.

And I've been AWOL, or MIA, for a while.

This week (CLII) the words are fracture, noise, and vanish.

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



8:16 am, 6/16/1945, Hiroshima.

Fractured atoms sear
shadows still. Noise vanishes.
Then the wails begin.


To Arne, my favourite CERN Doctor/Physicist/Computer Guy.

Death(f?) metal--wild noise--
rejoices, fractures fear, but...
tympani vanish.


Quand la facture arrive et je ne trouve pas ma portefeuille... Merde! Putain!

The bill comes, but, (noise!)
my wallet has vanished! (sob)
Fractured, I wash plates.





Tschuess,
Chris

  1. hahaha, I feel for you! i once had some "friends" run out on me at dinner, leaving me to pay a bill I couldn't possibly afford. Not a happy scene, believe me!

  3. Welcome back, my man. I was wondering, out loud, where you'd gone to and was just about to send you an email. Witty as always, my friend.

  4. Cheers, Asleep, Andy, Gautami and Thom

    I haven't found time to visit you, and the other players, yet; things have been topsy-turvy, for me, but, I look forward to visiting others.

    I really enjoy 3WW and look forward to playing, each week. I feel the loss keenly when I cannot join in the fun.

    (Even if I had to stretch the meaning of fractured, this weak, to [weakly] extend it the sense of a broken man, forced to wash dishes to pay for his meal...)

    Tschuess,
    Chris

  6. Yay!! The Haikuist has returned! I loved the last one for its playfulness and fun, the first for its poignancy.

  7. Your first haiku, chillingly descriptive. I liked that third one too...light and comical.


    A fracture in the time loop of our now
