A Mystic Rose Split-Haiku

pearls are being thrown
cast down before unworthy 

           thrones

oysters should bemoan

sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
This is a "split-haiku" as described
 in Mystic Rose's new haiku form.

They say don't cast your pearls before swine ... but no one considers the oysters feelings. How rude. You really are an imaginative writer, Lin ... and Rose's haiku variant is spreading like wildfire. Not the biggest fan of haiku that rhyme, but this one is good.

"They" is scripture in the Bible. Haiku, Senryu - to rhyme or not? It depends on my mood and the words that burrow into and out of my mind. Thanks, Tim.
