I’ve done a couple, yes. 🙂 I like finding a picture like on Pinterest or somewhere and then drawing inspiration from that. 🙂

Pinterest is an amazing source of inspiration! I wasn’t too familiar with it until this year, but it’s lots of fun. 🙂

Skull island… that sounds scary! The mood in the first one was captured really well. The last line was shiver-worthy. And the second made me smile. Ice cream is much better than lettuce, though it does have its place.

Thank you! For some reason I do better writing scary things. I don’t know why. 🙂
I was craving ice cream but only had lettuce, so I had to make the haiku suffer for me, lol. 😀

Thanks, Rachael! I had a craving for ice cream but didn’t have any, so I had to write out my frustration. 😛

I know that second one all too well. I’ve been craving ice cream like crazy since it first got warm last week. So, that battle to balance healthy with not-so-healthy, and then caving in to desire… Yup. XD
The first haiku is well done, too. I read it the way you recommended, and the “second half” hammers in the gloominess and dread that’s sparked in the “first half.” Very nice!

Yup. I want my ice cream. Even though I’m lactose intolerant, I will suffer for the delicious taste of it now and then.
Thanks! Haiku are meant to be read in two parts, but I do try to blend them so it can work as a whole and separate, both. I’m glad I succeeded. 😀

Both haiku are great. I immediately thought of the movie King Kong. 😉
