Hai Jew Kus, which I am writing for the Jewish Year 5775, are like haikus, but with a second 7 syllable line, so the meter is 5-7-7-5
I wrote a bunch of them on the theme of candy.
One
Sweet, sticky candy
Pulling at my stuck molars
Loosening tight new fillings
Delighting dentist
Two
Angel hair sugar
Ambitious fork lifted it
Up, Into the air from the
Hot carmel puddle
Three
The raging need for
Something sweet late after bedtime
Dark chocolate and ice cream
Quiets the savage beast
Four
Never built a house
Out of candy, didn’t think
Brothers Grimm story was real.
Sent to therapist.
