Today, let's haiku about businesses we miss... the good ones that slipped away into the dark. It can be a restaurant, a toy store, whatever!
Here is mine:
Trucks went out all ways
They left milk in the chute, dawn.
Still defines morning.
Now, you go! Make if 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables, and have some fun...
Oh, Golden Corral!
ReplyDeleteWhy did you go away? Damn!
Now I fry alone.
The dime store in town
ReplyDeleteYou could buy little turtles
Swimming in a dish.
Musty used bookstore,
ReplyDeletefilled with tomes of adventure -
and two fat guard-cats.
Thruway Marketplace
ReplyDeleteIt smelled like my childhood
Now both are long gone.
Soda and ice cream.
ReplyDeleteJerked from the great machine.
Nineteen Fifty Two.
Spent the last 20 minutes trying to smash a Norman Rockwell scene together with a "whites only" sign, but it just wasn't happening. At least not as a haiku.
ReplyDeleteThe Jack in the Box
ReplyDeleteacross the street, middle school,
tempting teen hunger
A business model, thankfully, no longer acceptable...
ReplyDeleteThey exit the bus
hunger deep in their belly
Sign, go around back
David - I tried your challenge
Mature women clerks
ReplyDeleteknowledgeable, delightful,
liked the selection
Of pattern and bolt --
Vogue design, delicate silk
in watery blues.
Wedding dress ... marriage
endure. Amluxen’s Fabrics ...
lost to 3rd World clothes.
