Richard Lamoureux Poet Haiku

Untouched

fire spreads quickly
animals scurry to safety
red rose untouched 


Haiku Wannabe contest 

Trillinea O first attempt at this form. 
I could not find on the soup so I labeled
it as a Haiku.

Olusegun Arowolo June 12, 2013 at 3:56 PM Nice write...Congrats on your win,dear friend.. Richard Lamoureux June 12, 2013 at 6:28 PM Thanks A.O you are always so encouraging.

Debbie Guzzi June 11, 2013 at 7:37 PM Try always for the less used image, think out of the box, there is another use for the word rose, [pinecones explode/ as pitch ignites orange flames rose/ the land erodes] Congrad's on your win. Light & Love Richard Lamoureux June 13, 2013 at 8:33 AM Please forgive my comment, for some reason your comment rubbed me the wrong way. I know that was not your intention so I would like to take back my comment. Richard Lamoureux June 12, 2013 at 6:39 PM I find it ironic that you would use the phrase think outside of the box as a way for me to be more innovative. It must be the most overused phrase in the English language, every time I hear it I want to gag.

Andrea Dietrich June 11, 2013 at 12:42 AM hey, I LIKE how you got the rose reference in there. Good work!! wish I could think something up for this one. Richard Lamoureux June 11, 2013 at 6:55 AM I am sure you will.

Kate Wilderson June 10, 2013 at 2:25 AM Well done, and I wish you all the best for the contest! :) Richard Lamoureux June 10, 2013 at 6:53 AM Thanks Kate

Timothy Hicks June 10, 2013 at 12:50 AM Nice that the fire was kind enough to at least not harm the rose! If this was your first haiku, it's much better than my first attempt! It's quite imaginative... Richard Lamoureux June 10, 2013 at 6:53 AM It is a trillinea O 4/8/4. I have never heard of the form but it was one of the options available for Debbie's contest.
