Haiku: Haiku Cuts Haiku - This Is Not a Title
mind's edge blunted
desert devoid of markers
my tears wet dry sand

Poet' notes:
Well, this can loosely be called a 'Physics Haiku' as well in the sense that both Poetry Rules and Rules of Physics have a mind blunting effect. Don't you agree?
1. Apparently haiku's don't have titles (markers) , but do contain seasonal references (my tears) , contain cutting words (edge or cut) , and take aspects
of the natural world (dry sand) as their subject matter. You suppose this qualifies? : -) My non-title Title will self-destruct in 60 seconds if you should
choose to call my poem a real haiku! (I'd be so grateful!)
Poets can be such harsh critics you know. OK, not all of you, just the ones with
feathers up their a##. (Be brave little child of mine! I will always love you!)
2. Do it yourself Haiku! Reader's choice! This Haiku has two alternate first lines...
A. haiku cuts haiku
or
B. mind's edge blunted
Oh yes, and please vote A. or B. when you comment (if you do) . Also, after you choose the version you like best, then rate the poem on that basis! : -)
a##: For those of you with dirty minds a## ==> art. I disguised the meaning only because if you don't like my stuff, how can your own poems really be art?
***Warning: Your vote might help make archaic rules a laughing stock.***
