the blue screen flickers

the blue screen flickers
my husband is on the couch
what an awful smell

Author notes

In traditional Japanese, the haiku was often written in one long string, from top to bottom, using 17 onji (sound-symbols); modern English haiku is written in three lines with syllable counts at ( 5-7-5 )

Haiku dose not have a title other than the first line as the use of a title gives an unfair additional image in competition.

In a list

Please tell me what you think

    This is more of a senryu as it is about humal activities, not nature in it's pure context. Liked the images this created - gives one a chuckle.

    Hmmmmmm. It is definitely a haiku! The syllable count is right. Good job. Three bunnies.

      Yes, I was concerned that the image might be over a mans' head. Do you think it's too deep?

        Well... how can a smell from a man on a couch watching a flickering screen snoring away be bad? It doesn't make sense... Did you spill tea before he sat down?
