a laser light
marks the sniper's target --
a taxi waits

    This was a G R E A T haiku, Debbie! I felt like I was captured by a moment in a James Bond movie! Such a suspenseful juxtoposition!!! Wonderful work AS ALWAYS---luv, gwendolen

    This is great poem to ponder while on the street.

    I rather like the gun-o-kus, mostly because they can be read either way. Depending on whether the person is in favour of guns or no, and whether the gunner is a hero or villain. As in this case, where all possibilities are present. Nice job with the laser, a stroke of imagination.

    Very nice Debbie! Who knew Haiku can be so mysteriously dramatic - you've opened up the possibilities. Wow! Well done!

    Reminds me of the film Collateral starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. Great haiku.

    Debbie you sound like an expert with laser lights and having a taxi waiting too. LOL. A great visual poem, I'm running a Vedic in my mine of Debbie escaping from the scene. LOL. Haiku Poems always surprises how with so little words, you can paint an entire picture. I need to write more of these. I think I've only written one. Warm Smiles Always, Connie

    love and huggs to my queen of haiku and the queen of everything. with her midas quill, sending love to the soup's light who enlightens everyone with her spiritual and intellectual light..your Yassie!!!

    With the heightened discussions about gun control, this hits home! Hugs, Jack

    Yes, even I was thinking of a Bond movie sequence reading this. a very well done haiku, Debbie.

    VERY nice. It's so difficult to do a haiku on guns and I think you pulled it off.

  1. Date: 1/22/2013 12:09:00 AM

    as ruben said, it makes us think of a spy movie. I thought of a terrorist.

    I visualized James Bond in one of his secret missions! : ) I like it! [Did you listen to Adele's "Skyfall"? ...I love that song.] I dont know if the monoku uses a cut marker! : ) I'm still learning about Haiku! Brian definition: "Monoku is a senryu/haiku with a slight enigmatic/ambiguous flavour"

    I just know about the 2 sections of the monoku: "a boy takes the loaded gun" AND " loaded gun to play dead"...I was waiting for your opinion! : )
