The exercise:

Let's complete the haiku trio with two about: the wardrobe.

Max has recently discovered the Chronicles of Narnia, in case you're wondering about the source of the inspiration for the last three week's worth of haiku prompts.

Ah, I thought the hidden theme was running through more than just the haiku days! I'm glad to see that my ability to spot your hidden themes is only rusty, and not broken :)
Also, have you told Max yet that they all die in the end?
It's been a while since I read the books, but I remember that my favourite was probably the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and maybe the Silver Chair coming after that.

The wardrobe
I think there are mice
In the back of the wardrobe....
Ah, just Reepicheep!

Nothing that goes in
To the wardrobe comes back out.
I think it eats them.

Greg - hah, well you did recognize I was up to something, at least :)

I never read the books myself, so I read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe after he'd read it (three times). I haven't started the next book yet, but he got the whole set from my parents for his birthday.

Max has told me about Reepicheep though! So I appreciate the reference. And also the second one is delightfully disturbing.
