Eyes of a Peel (Haiku)

Stiff, white, rubbery
Patch of rough, brown, cool wet skin
Dumb and unseeing

Author notes

Ok. I need to start with an apology. A poet on here wrote a lovely poem called Eyes of Appeal. I was in an odd mood and wrote this satirical haiku.

    Oh my goodness, that was funny! I rarely read humorous Haikus, so I enjoyed this a lot. The last line was my favorite-- it's so blunt but yet it's true! Thanks for writing something that made me laugh. :-)

    • I am glad you enjoyed this haiku. Most of the people that read my work regularly like my rhymes. They are puzzled by the haiku form. I enjoy it. It is the only non-rhyme form that I do.

      I like humor. When I saw the title to Darrell's poem, I could not resist.

    Oops...forgot this!

    • Thank you for commenting and applauding. The reference to stiff, white and rubbery was for the eyes on a potato peel.

    Well, trying to guess what kind of peel it is..Perhaps a kiwi fruit peel? I think it is humorous how you picked up on this one..very creative, and good imagery...I love your sense of humour
