Unbearable heat
Squeeze an orange for juices
To quench the parched lips
Honey! come over
This dark corner provides space
let us squeeze in here!
Squeezed of hard-earned cash
Consumers fell victims to
The greedy traders
The wayward persists
Trying to squeeze blood from stone
Just wasted efforts
Written for Leo's Haiku Heights #265 with prompt - squeeze and Poetry Jam - with prompt Feel the Heat
That image is scary! These are outstanding Hank all of them but I really love the last one =)
ReplyDeleteThe image is great!! The orange and the honey are delightful!! ;) We are facing the very problem as in the third...excellent!! The wayward just has to mend his ways I suppose!! Nice all Hank!!
ReplyDeleteThe second one is so beautiful, so obvious yet very creative...

Very nice....there is nothing like freshly squeezed orange juice to take away a bit of the heat.
ReplyDeleteLiked your last one...yes, for sure, blood from stone is useless indeed! Though so many try.
I like the second one. Very uncharacteristic of you Hank. What on earth are you doing in that dark corner? LOL
ReplyDeletei def dont mind squeezing in with the honey, closer the better you know...and def fresh fruit is a relief, used to love picking straight off the tree when we lived in florida....
ReplyDelete...i loved the double meaning & the truth in these clever haikus Hank... masterfully done... enjoyed it...smiles...
ReplyDeleteCould use some of that fresh squeezed orange juice right about now!
ReplyDeleteNo fruit for me to acid-y and yeah that stone won't bleed no matter how much you lead
ReplyDeleteI love freshly squeezed orange juice.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful variety indeed
ReplyDeleteThis dark corner provides space - great lines and there is a real feeling of lost freedom with this. i like it.
ReplyDeleteLoved the way you used the prompt to bring out a variety of thirsts!!
ReplyDeleteI too would love the fresh orange, but not the squeezing into the corner, too hot ~
ReplyDeleteLots of squeezing going on here! Thanks for posting this and I like the photo too. That is quite a squeeze.
ReplyDeleteAhhh... yes the squeezzing is necessary and vital these days
ReplyDeleteI like this Hank ... second stanza is my favorite.
