The Arachnid says
'Come into my parlor now
little fly.Dinner! '
At Midnight I looked
outside my window and yelled
'It's snowing! '.Nature laughed.
A Wizard appeared
in my dreams handing me a
Worm.Call home today!
April foolery
and hilarity is fun
the joke is on you
I tried to submit
the first haiku on today's
contest.No avail.
April Fool is lasting
much longer than one day as
Nature and we laugh
Laughter is the best
medicine of which nothing
Can escape its mood
Loki shapeshifting
moods from dark scowl to laughter
April's foolish pranks
I love the way your pen plays with fragile notions here, Lorraine, dancing within the familiar Haiku form without surrendering to naked syllables. Your message strikes a chord with my sensibilities! Warm regards, John. Thanks for your generous comments, Lorraine! :)
Grins...oh, i agree with the lot down below. I think the wizard one is my personal favourite. and John Tiong Chunghoo's there isn't one to ignore, either.
A very interesting Haiku string. The first and last are my favourites. Irene
Fun. I love a good prank for April 1st. I have one, 'Haiku Errors', that seems relevant and you might enjoy. -chuck
i love your haikus lorraine here is mine; april fool's day he asks if he has really been fooled
Nice poem constructed on the basis of the haiku. Alone from time to time I am writing so, all the more for me like. The haiku is teaching saving and he is eliminating the excess of unnecessary words. It is necessary to put into this minimal form as the most contents, to capture the meaning and the time, in which something is happening. It contrary to appearances isn't simple. For you oneself that's all is pretending. You prefer principle 5 - 7 - 5 what in the haiku the primary importance has and is a great impediment. Very much I like him. (10 v.) . I am greeting and I thank you :) Maria Barbara Korynt

Perfect April fool's trick haiku, unique in its own type. April 01 is my birthday. Its been now 55 years that I am being fooled consistently. Regards Naseer
