SUMMER HAIKU

Wilson has just read yesterday's post, and taken offence at it!

He says he was not 'Dozing in the sunshine' as I'd had 'erroneously' stated, but purposely remaining motionless while Nërp created his likeness in watercolours.


'In fact,' he continued, 'so far from dozing was I that I composed this Haiku to express my feelings!'

    Anteater,
        Dozing in the summer sun
        His head filled with thoughts of Ants

I pointed out that the verse actually contains the word 'Dozing' but Wilson insisted that this was merely for poetical effect, and because it had exactly the required number of syllables to complete the Haiku.
