What likely caused the
figment of imagining
that God’s creation

of Woman as Man’s
companion was not a
stimuli on Man

to endeavor his
efforts just to please Woman
and in so doing

it evoked the ills 
of Mankind to spawn conflicts
that thrived since then?

Note: An all endearing question written in haiku form. Looks like haiku,sounds like haiku must it necessarily be accepted as haiku?

Written for Haiku Heights’s Sept Heights Day 15 P# 174 with prompt -creation-

  10. A unique take on the prompt. The battle of the sexes, around from the dawn of humanity . . . I enjoyed this one.

  11. Hank, you are a brave man.
    Is it a battle? Sure feels like it sometimes. maybe it is guerrilla warfare because it seems to have more than its fair share of suicide bombers!
    I don't know about the haiku. As I understand haiku, perhaps the last line could be "that thrived since then." Here we remove the excess syllable. I am open to correction here.

  12. This made me smile. Will the battle ever end? Secretly, I hope no side wins, but that we just blend.

  13. Stafford,
    You rightly considered 'thrived' being of 2 syllables. Have corrected it. Looks better now. Thanks a lot!
