Jade's Haiku

Jade was my troubled obsession.

Statuesque little sin

Newport menthols on metal breath

Ebony pixies dance

Author's Note

I used another sylible counter when I edited this so now the count is 6 7 6. I know that's still "wrong" but I for one won't be pushed around by the Japanese.

I had a little trouble interpreting this one too. But you paint a pretty picture here.

Jade was a girl I was playing around with. She was a beautiful black pixie of a girl. She smoked Newport menthols that made her mouth taste a bit metallic.

Interesting!

I like this on its own, but seeing the explanation you gave Tai made it better.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you.

Menthols . . . Metal . . . Smoking?

[Baby Ricochet]

Jade was a girl I was " friends " with. She claimed she was 19 but could have been younger. I never checked her ID. She smoked Newport menthols., ebony pixies dance is a reference to jade being black and petite. Dance is a reference to sex. There's 3 photos of jade in my site photos if you're curious. She was a beautiful girl.

I thought I had caught faint references to sex here. Well done.

Another Haiku (did you sneeze?) I'm always afraid of interpreting these things wrong but I take it this is an anti-smoking one, right? If I'm not right, then make believe I am, please.

[Baby Ricochet]

[Baby Ricochet]

I used a sylible counter for this one and it's still not right. Ah screw it. It a fine haiku.

[Inda]

This one is the best haiku so far! Such imagery its almost like the begining of a story. Great job!

[Baby Ricochet]

I can deal with the extra syllable since it's so brilliant, says so much. Well done.

[Baby Ricochet]

I used a sylible counter that said it was 5 7 5 and I've been told if it's not in Japanese the count doesn't count. It's all good.

I'm not one for rules in poetry, so go for it....
