My haiku for RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Challenge–a fun activity and contest that is open for everyone to participate, and helps keep our creative writer’s mind active! This week’s words are: Free & Think. I hope you enjoy.
“My Head in the Clouds”
Free, I walk the sky
My thinking clear among clouds,
I’d rather dwell here.

“I Think”
I think, therefore I
Want a cheeseburger and fries,
Gluten-free mouth drools.

How to read a haiku:
Free, I walk the sky, My thinking clear among clouds.
My thinking clear among clouds, I’d rather dwell here.
[…] Rawls of E. Rawls: Author creating stories and art: My Head in the Clouds and I Think. I think there will be no cloud visits unless you stay free and clear of that second one. Remember […]

I really like the top one, especially the last two lines together. Peaceful. One question abuot the second – gluten free?

Gluten free means “a person who cannot eat wheat”. They cannot eat the wheat bread bun of the burger, and so they are sad and drooling, wishing they could eat it. 🙂

Oh, I kind of meant are you gluten free? Guess I should have been clearer. (Colour me embarrassed.)

Yes, I am, actually. 🙂 It’s been several years now, and I’ve gotten used to it. But now and then I wish I could always eat the stuff I used to.

I can sympathise. I’m dairy-free. Most of them time I’m fine with it, but sometimes, I see someone eating a certain chocolate bar, and I have an “it’s not fair” moment.

I’m glad you understand. There are many ‘it’s not fair” moments. 🙂

Ha ha ha, I think therefore I want a cheeseburger and fries. XD I love that one! The first one is very pretty as well, especially the second and third lines. Anyone with an active imagination will relate to that one. 😉

Your 1st haiku is so dreamy and beautiful. The 2nd one cracked me up––and made me hungry! 😛

Thank you, Vashti! I got a kick out of writing the 2nd, haha, since I’m gluten free and often experience that feeling. 😀
