The exercise:

Write two haiku about: standing watch.

  1. I can see how the smashing machine would only leave scraps behind, but how does that lead to standing watch? Are you now having to guard the smashing machine because the boys have found it?

    Standing watch
    It only tells time
    When it's resting on the floor --
    It's a standing watch

    ---
    White clouds hide the sun
    Protecting the land from heat
    Standing watch forever.

  2. Greg - this was me, sitting at the top of the stairs to make sure the stupid rat didn't come up before everyone was safely asleep in their beds behind closed doors.

    So, uh, sitting watch may have been a more accurate prompt?

    Ooh, I like both of these. I had already decided I liked the first one best before I read the second, but now that I have I don't think I can choose between them.
