Author's Comments

a haiku maybe? very raw and prolly not even correct lol.

Theme is lust. :iconmahi-fish: was able to understand the story being told. i hope you all can as well. but just in case its about an adulteress (someone used and full of lust) who sleeps around and is percieved as everyone as a whore. that which she really is. she has no self-respect therefore due to her actions.

lust is a tricky thing to deal with.

let me know what you think :D

Cross posted so you'll have comments here:

The subject of the poem seems to be an adulteress who is sleeping around so much that she has the reputation of a "whore". That was what my reading gave me. If that is your intent, then I think it is well done indeed.


Very good for your first attempt. If you are hoping to enter it in the contest, take a look at the rules that are in my artist comment on the poem I posted initially.

It's common in this style of poem to remove the initial sentence capitalization and the final sentence punctuation. Not absolutely vital, but many haiku poets feel they distract from the message and close off hanging possibilities.

With that said, I occasionally use both though.

Hey! Cool that you were also inspired to write a Haiku.
I like it, it has a good rhythm and an interesting message.

It's really just details. But when you have nine words to work with, details matter more than in something that's twenty lines. :)
