clueless dummy (troiku)

Inspired by the Lovely Lolly’s scarecrow haiku. Visiting her blog is such a delight at Foralovelything

new scarecrow …
already a field mouse pokes
around its fly

(troiku)

heckling crows
irritating to mortals
scarecrow’s blank stare

heckling crows
mock the hopeless dummy
stuffed with straw

irritating to mortals
the enigmatic calls warn,
little critters sneer

scarecrow’s blank stare
his gruesome fate awaits-but
ignorance is bliss

    1. Well it was a challenge and to add those tough words made turned the troiku a bit rough. I may try one haiku alone later, I just came back from my friend’s place in the country

  1. Fantastic troiku … you really take the ball and run when you write these … bravo! (I do feel a little sorry for the scarecrow though)

    1. Ah don’t feel bad, he does not really understand and the crows are having fun. I would have done it quicker and probably differently if I had not added those 3 WW but I guess a challenge is good sometimes.
