3WW given words:
giddy lewd needless

eyes with piercing looks
from those with lewd intentions
but virtuous cravings

stuck on giddy heights
looking down on those below
with bizarre pursuits

scary but sustained
needless to say the least sought
of crazy options

For Thomg's hosting of 3WW week 418 and
Mary's at Poetry Jam - the eyes have it

    I am trying to wrap my head around someone with lewd intentions
    but virtuous cravings...

    scary but sustained would truly be a less desired craziness...

    Oh, those are definitely piercing eyes in the photo. Perhaps acceptable in a canine, but not so much if applied to humans.

    The twist in the first stanza captured me--lewd intentions and virtuous cravings. It gives such a sense of danger. Nicely done.

    Found in cat it is not so bad, unless it wants to eat you. Man though, never good

    I like the opposites neatly balanced together- who can think lewd & virtuous can co-exist :)
    Nice words.

    Definitely a sense of struggle going on in those lines.

    I love how you did this with haiku, Could feel the stealth of the tiger ready to stalk it's prey.
