Washed Up

Where the Jester lies beaten against the cold shore, the Queen of Hearts sings.

I put one up a few minutes ago. Not much of a writer/poet, though. I'm more of a reader, myself.

Thanks, Anne. Haiku's about the only type of poetry I write, hehehe. I'm more of a reader of poems than a poet. But, I'm happy ya liked it. Cheers to you!

I liked this piece. Could have used more imagery to support that last line. Maybe cut out 'Where the' in the first line and add a few words/syllables about the state of the Jester. Still, a good piece. :)

Hello, Ms. A. H. Sewell. I'm sure my Haiku could use some work, hehehe. I did rework it, maybe I'll repost it later. Thanks for liking it, still. (I love your work, by the way, so I'm jazzed you like this little Haiku of mine.) Cheers to you!
