High flying footballers
In the heat of the moment
Must avoid flare-ups
Strange but true, a man
in 'heat' is an animal
of uncontrolled lusts
Heated arguments
Waste talents and energy
Would not solve problems
A heated debate
Shows lack of maturity
Spectacle to see
A heated debate
Shows lack of maturity
Spectacle to see
If given the choice
Between a heat wave and floods
Many would be stumped
Written for Sensational Haiku Wednesday with prompt -heat-
A man in heat
ReplyDeleteCan be hard to defeat
As it takes ones self
To put the heat back on the shelf
heat will def do some crazy things to you...last week here was brutal...it wears on you and tempers become short as well since the blood is already nearly at boil..

I could imagine the testing times when you went through without power. The fact that you're back shows all are behind you now!

This is brilliant. It works well as a single poem and equally well as a series of haiku.

ReplyDeleteGreat variety here!
ReplyDelete"Heat" seems to be a good prompt for you...so many ideas pouring out from you into your haiku. Good job.
ReplyDeleteAll the clever changes you've rung on the prompt word "heat". Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteHeat certainly does challenge some people with short tempers to the point of no return. But nothing is really solved by losing them in the end, is it?
ReplyDeleteNice write Hank
Your beautiful poem has incredible heart.
ReplyDeleteHeat is a synonym for danger!
ReplyDeleteVery well depicted !!!
