    wonderful

    oh what a wonderful haiku using creative layout! i like these kinds of experiments in poetry, and it's lovely to see you do this in the haiku genre! you are a brave poet - goodonya! (do you know the work of the radical maverick hakuist Marlene Mountain? she's wonderful...)

    very impressive.

      thank you so much for stopping by :

      transforming
      the thief into a white wall
      the wake up call

      we sleep and dream of a thief ...
      the alarm-clock rings ... eyes open ... and stare on the white wall of our bedroom ...

    This is creativeness beyond my boundaries! I adore Haiku and you give it unusual & brilliant form and
    meaning here. Blue

    Another clever senryu!
    Thank you for entering Haiku & senryu.
    I think the senryu "Turning the rope into a snake"
    visually works better than this one?
    Love the daring and boldness to break with
    convention. That's so, because I do.

    The concrete form is very good as is the haiku. You have done well with this one.

    Cool lay-out! The thief may have disappeared, but this haiku image is impactful and vivid.

    Good luck to you!

    I would call this

    artful Senyru...although I think the double The* should be substituded for another word...lol....I think transforming should work downward first...not upward....the rest of the lines should run across the bottom of the wall.....oh hum..such creative mind working here....lol

    Good shape

    I'm looking for the thief, but all I see is the wall. This is a novelty in haiku form - best of luck!

      the question is : has there ever been a thief - or was it just a dream ?
      thanks so much for commenting and clapping, sweet one ...
