Written for 3WW and Sensational Haiku Wednesday
First 3ww...
Prompts: Mob, Jettison, Behave
My Words - Simple and Straight
My words have always
Behaved pretty nice and well,
Kept themselves simple
Never jettisoned humility
In spite of getting mobbed
By some atrocious thoughts
Of embellishment
Have never played
Against the rule or slipped
They do fear getting caught
And face a long sentence
My words – simple and straight
Say, I'll keep them that way...
***
Also Wrtitten for Sensational Haiku Wednesday
Silence of trees
A quieter morning
Absence of wind

simple and straight is always the best..thoughtfully put as ever Ramesh..Jae
