My Scissors Fix It...✂️
~~Poem For The 'Haiku Of Now' Challenge~~
Deep slumber calls me...
My gum falls, then grips my hair...
My scissors fix it...

"Everything is so... flat." Denille said stupidly as she looked around her new neighborhood. She looked around at the muted desert where even the smallest sign of life seemed to have given up. The plant life was shrubs that were half cooked by the heat and where there should have been a lawn, a mess of white rocks laid glistening in the sun. Even the sky looked stretched thin, like the sun had ironed it smooth. She’d moved from Riverside, where at least there were hills, but here in Barstow, everything felt baked and brittle.

The last line really lands well. It gives the poem a little twist of humor after the sleepy setup. It’s one of those moments that feels funny because it’s so real.
BUBBLEGUM IS FUNNY
This is great, Tiffany!! A few chuckles before bed are good for the soul! I remember that happening. Thankfully, it was a long time ago!💕💗💕
Love it. Easy to write a haiku. Much harder to write a really GOOD haiku and you've done it. Way to go!
Yowza! I hope this didn't happen recently! 💜
Oh no! 😅😂 I had completely forgotten about the evil bubble gum.
Tickling that imagination, TIff! LOL! Remnd me not to visit a salon! Brilliant senryu!
Hahahahahahahahaha oops! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny and sad at the same time.
Oh no. Gum in the hair sucks. I remember in 6th grade, two girls stuck some in my hair. I still hope they have the day they deserve 😅😅
Busy with your babies 👶 🪆💗
You nailed it love this haiku♦️💙♦️
