Self-deprecation is worth its weight in smoldering phoenix-ashes and baby unicorn tears.
or; 2 of (hopefully) many.

This haiku is written in shorter traditional form, eschewing the 5-7-5 scheme in favor of a 3-5-3 scheme.





Carnations:
Shifting pinks, blues, greens,
noise erupts.


(I don't expect anyone to get the reference in this except for BlueDev. And he doesn't usually do the poetry thing, so there.)

Pretty nice...I hardly ever see the shorter versions.

Green Carnations are my favoritest flower ever.

And he doesn't usually do the poetry thing

You know, to be honest, I shouldn't say that too much.  I have written a few poems I have here.  The one of which I am most proud is "Ode to the Shephard's Snort".  Really quite a bit or writing, if you ask me.

'Noise Erupts'? Interesting...
