An axe's natural swing!

Axe’s natural swing
Golf club’s downward arc can split
the fairway even

Tasty feel discerned
Familiar taste of Mom’s food
Firewood driven

Note: 
1. A Pro once remarked a golf swing
was as easy as swinging an axe
2. Some mothers swore firewood
contributed to good taste of food

    Campfires always add to the flavor. Nice job, Hank!

    As easy or as difficult to swing an axe... I have seen many failing with an axe... and I wonder how is a scythe then... maybe it's more difficult than playing golf... (have never played golf)...

    Two interesting takes, Hank.

    Well done.

    Cheers!

    Firewood or grilled - changes the taste of the food completely, doesn't it?
    Great haiku!

    Not sure I could swing an axe

    I've heard that axe/club comparison. I think it might not ring true. I'm great with an axe or sledge. Golf clubs? Not so much!

    I've axed my clubs - for some reason, they kept slicing the wrong way~ ~

    Food cook on firewood really is awesome!I have tasted it. In many Indian villages people still use earhten chulhas (earthen stoves) to cook food .

    I chopped down a tree as a youngster for our wood-burning stove and it was the hardest thing I'd ever done!
