The Spy Who Came In From the Cold

A log for the fire
Landed heavily on toes
Scorpion turned tail

Great title and imagery with this one, Nigel! Sometimes I think I'm being lazy with haiku writing but things pop up in few words that a hundred don't always capture and paint pictures for the reader like this!

Got a good chucle out of this one. The title caught my attention and really adds to the poem. Like Barbara, I say "Ouch." I enjoyed this one. Thank you for sharing it. Karen
