clammy

a hybrid. You know, like the Prius. I take liberties, sometimes many, with my Haiku forms. Seems to work. At least some of the time. You might've noticed I don't identify it as Haiku or Senryu. Or Tanka. Tonka? An incomplete Waka? Katauta? Hokku? The mysterious mystery of it all doesn't keep me from sleeping nights. Thank you much. Chuck(les) PS: Seriously, I think it'd properly be called a senryu.

many, many years to get used to the humidity in this part of the country. In fact, so many years that I'm still not adjusted as much's I'd like. (I guess you could say I'm maladjusted.) Thanx, Chuck

this adheres to Japanese form: Among other things/parameters, it must not rhyme; it's in one stanza of three lines; the first line's five syllables, the second seven, the third five. So it's within those walls---that discipline---that the message must be conveyed. Thanx Chuck

you got the funny. Usually I wouldn't post just one stand-alone haiku/senryu, but thought this merited an unshared post. Thanx much, Chuckles PS: Fortunately, not like you, I don't have a dog to lick my face to further retard my labored breathing.
