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?
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-
Oh, my... The creation of the battle of the sexes... Good one.

ReplyDeleteI call it haiku, Hank!
ReplyDeleteWell...you have created something wonderful..for me, it's a haiku...
ReplyDeleteRS:)
A unique take on the prompt. The battle of the sexes, around from the dawn of humanity . . . I enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteHank, you are a brave man.
ReplyDeleteIs 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.
This made me smile. Will the battle ever end? Secretly, I hope no side wins, but that we just blend.
ReplyDeleteStafford,
ReplyDeleteYou rightly considered 'thrived' being of 2 syllables. Have corrected it. Looks better now. Thanks a lot!
Hank
Wonderful question! I enjoyed this one.
