The dance and the feast
will backfire on the hostess,
so the weird guest says.
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
In Pandora’s box
lurked creatures to embarrass
and harass the world.
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
To tell good stories,
you must have a taste for words—
sweet and bitter, both.

    Excellent work! Strange, my poem this week is almost a commentary on your first one. Something about the word choices also made me think of an uncomfortable party!

    This set of haiku is so telling. The last is especially pertinent to writers where emotions must be used like sauces in a meal.

    Enjoyed each haiku in the set, but the last one edges out the others…
