@vonny,
She crumpled and fell
In victorious triumph,
At the finish line

@firefly,
At the finish line
Staggering and panting hard
Red faces, short breath

@Smileyrius,
What's going on ere?
Asks nanny of small charges
Bedtime - lights out now!

@vonny,
Bedtime - lights out now!
No qualms... She swiftly complied
Or so it may seem

@Smileyrius,
Or so it may seem.
But all appearances can
Be deceiving, no?

@Lustig Andrei,
Be deceiving, no?
What falsehood dares to pass lips
that prettily pout

@vonny,
That pretty Lee Pout -
Once rich, handsome, yearned for - lays
In worm-equal death.

In May 2013, firefly kindly helped me with the following post -

Quote:

vonny, you're new to this game, so let me help--the first line of the Haiku has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables


So here goes - hopefully back on track Laughing

Lays in worm equal death
Shrouded in grey cloak of shadowy cloth
No ray of light enters

@ehBeth,
No light rays enter
the small dog's cave of blankets
joyous snuffles now

@ehBeth,
Human memory
Is quite fallible indeed,
Truth is relative

@firefly,
Truth is relative
To what we wish to believe.
Doubt is eternal

@Lustig Andrei,
Doubt is eternal
Yet we fail again, and then
Doubt and fail again
