The exercise:

Write two haiku about something that is: limitless.

How does this fit in with yesterday's post? Are your new walls... limitless? o_O

Limitless
The syllable count
Of my haiku sadly means
They're not limitless.

--------
Devils, when simply
Unconstrained, made limitless
Become just evil

[The second haiku is a cryptic crossword trick: "limitless" means cutting of the first and last letters of a word]

I chose to combine my two haiku to make it more seamless

The exact number
Of small freckles that speckle
Of her ivory skin
Are unknown to me
As such, my love for her is
Unmeasurable

Greg - hah, no. I can't remember what inspired this, actually. Probably something to do with one of the boys.

I am both impressed by and appreciate you teaching me something with your second haiku. I also like the self-awareness of your first :)

Ivy - ah, this is lovely. Nicely done :)
