ladies chat

“I had gas put in”.
In the January edition of Writing Magazine (www.writers-online.co.uk ) Judge Alison Chisholm writes attempts at humour are not always successful in a haiku, but as my content did not include a traditional Zen moment and nature reference I can see why my Haiku did not even make the shortlist!
That really doesn't matter in the long run. Fellow poets liked it when I asked for feedback on the Pimento Poets forum and, as its based on a real conversation I overhead one day while shopping, it always makes me smile.
