I named her as I ate her;

the world won't notice.

I remember Haiku's I did them in Primary school and although they were not always about food, they were just as interesting and I find it fascinating that you made up a Haiku about food. cause not many people that can do that and when I mean not a lot I mean like one in a hundred so it is good that you put that sense into a Haiku,I will want to hear from you again so Keep Going!

Deadman here with a review for you! Interesting Haiku, I should hope it is about food. I agree with Serene, if I hadn't read the little description I would be over here scratching my head trying to think why you at a woman. Seeing as it was written in a pub or something, I'm going to assume it's about food.

This is interesting, because you don't find a haiku about food very often. It's written very well, and suck to the five-seven-five rule. Since you stuck to that rule, I can't really find too much to nitpick. I hope I helped in some way, and until next time, happy writing!



Cheers,




Deadman XD

I don't know if this is supposed to be funny or slightly scary XDDD

Due to the fact that I read the little splurge you put, I'm guessing you're talking about food, considering you wrote this at a pub, but then again, if I hadn't and I just randomly clicked without even looking, this could honestly lead to many different theories on what you could be referring to when you say "her".

For a haiku, as you can see, this is very thought provoking, which I don't see a lot in Haiku for the most part. What you usually see are people just writing about flowers or something along the lines of that. This is different, but still appealing to an audience because it, like I said before, makes you think about the meaning behind the poem itself.

That and it's rather short XDD

You also kept to the 5, 7, 5 rule, so honestly, I have no complaints
I love this poem!
Thank you!
