Dude. That is nasty-hot. Flowers, takin’ a knee, so to speak.

In all seriousness, there is some Daft Punk, Daffy Duck, deftness, AND taffy in your title. So I am all over this tiny bit(e) of yum.

😉

Oh, and banana. That’s my favorite flavor … in case you were wonderin’.

Great title, Paul, and a nice twist (bend) in the haiku!

  Thanks. I enjoyed the essay and congrats on the Haiku comp. This prompt gave me something to chew on…all the Haiku I have written have been ‘classic’ form I guess. (I’m learning still) Cutting word, seasonal word etc….your examples in the essay later did not seem to have those.( but i could be wrong) Is this a different kind of Haiku?

    We do write in the classical form but also follow the late Jane Reichold’s haiku lessons. Kristjaan’s one of her followers and often refers to her books and articles.

Daffodils will do that to you. They can be a very cliched flower. 🙂
