Your Bugness-
you know, if you are like me...it could take an hour to get haiku from an idea; even now after reading a lot, I still have to work at it. So I appreciate you going outside of your usual stuff to support my contest.
Now- you have given a fascinating idea - and some humor too-
here is my take on this-
in the mirror
her assets
his dividends
better still
her assets
in the mirror...
his dividends
...may not be haiku...but it'll get a few ahas!

YES!!!! LOL.. Aha, indeed! Very clever. And yep, the second version is more like what I think most haiku's do ...so yep, yep, yep. I like that!
The whole thing was your idea in the first place, so it's only fitting that you write one like this! Thanks for the smile this morning.

You, took liberties???

hey so what if you did?

hahaha!! clever i see more than just spring with this....ohhh...more like down with the stock market

This is the kind of a haiku that makes accountants sit up nights dreaming of depreciation and trial balances. And not only that, but Wall Street moguls they dream this way...when they go outside for a walk they smell money. Now write me one about poverty so I can have a haiku that I can relate to.

loved this OTB approach-once I got past the economy of it all- well, it spews forth the entitlements of spring. Planting, growing and reaping. Yes, very nicely writ ku...peace to you.
-
Well this proves that the economy is in need a little squeeze
-
haiku!! and some humor too, you juxtapose growth and interest...l1 and L3 very nicely here they are similar and different and this gives the haiku some resonance and a touch of humor, the reader has an "aaahh" moment, the nature of Spring, the nature of numerical things, the nature of a person...all are possibilities here, well done. Thank you for this fine entry into the contest and best of luck in the judging, welcome to the finals...PK
