Haiku Wordle

The Sunday Whirl
Wordle 107


Use the following words in prose or poetry.



thousands march to the front
blood pulsing to thunderous hooves
untold count wounded

***

lost in soup of fog
cold messages gulf coast stream
rain spits down its charm

***

dressing wounds in silk
knights in blood stained red armor
maidens dish sympathy

    I had written something different but decided to try staying as true to haiku as I could after seeing how beautifully it was done by Wabi Sabi; and Magical Mystery Teacher does his with haiku too. That's the artform of writing I'm most wanting to improve. Thank you for liking it!

    Your poem evokes old, medieval tales of knighthood and bravery. Nicely written.

    I believe I'm partial to the dish the maidens are serving.

    See, you can do it! Welcome! We're expecting you back again and again. :)

    Getting lost in a soup of fog seems like the last thing one would want during such a dangerous time... then again perhaps the cover is good. I enjoyed your story -in- haiku My First Whirl

      Thank you! They weren't meant to be connected but I guess it could be seen that way. The second is more like a weather report. I'd prefer to see the fog as hiding under cover :))

    All interesting, but I especially like the first of these. The sense of impending battle and after. K.

    I was suddenly transferred to the medieval period in European history. Lovely story of knights in shining armor returning from battle!!

    Perhaps that is where the word dish comes from; to have a sympathetic girl look after you! A great set of haiku.

    Welcome to the fun world of The Sunday Whirl.

    I just did a whole month of haiku (most followed by a renga) at my small verse place here: http://julesgemstonepages.wordpress.com/
    (they were for April 2013)

    Please do visit when you have time the whole story. Thank you for your visit - I hope you enjoyed what you read.

    I like how you used the words for haiku. I often feel lost in a soup of fog! Had to laugh at the comment from Magical Mystical Teacher - the mystery remains!
