Giant rubberband
though it's stretching out of hand
worked for me just grand.
That was darn near as hard as the chewing tobacco!

Comment from PoesyPoet
This one is just too damn crazy to even think about. How huge can a rubberband be to fling a horse. But that's okay. Poetry is as poetry does and who might I be to question in author's choice of words. It is I, as the reader who must understand its meaning.
What concerns me, is that this piece, is NOT an haiku. It is a senyru which deals with human nature (in comedic form or not) as opposed to the haiku which deals soley with mother nature. Still, I could be wrong.
Rubberbands, to me, don't fit the haiku format. You might ask my old friend and mentor, AlvinTEthington for more clarification. He's won tons of prestigious awards and I'm sure would be glad to help. Please, tell him, I sent you.

All I can picture is my son with his cowboys and indian plastic toys and sshooting them across the yeard with a homemade slingshot. he did that the other day. good imagery, and great way to meet the challenge. I think you did well.

Comment from Red Heart
You are really good to turn that around on a moments notice.
I really am impressed. This grasshopper bows down to the master of Haiku.
Excellent presentation, both picture and words "snap" together perfectly.
Kudos... that means you passed.

Comment from RenieReader
Very clever use of the challenge. I think you passed, but maybe that's just me. The phrase really gave me a mighty image of how a horse's hooves look as he races and stretches into infinity. Love it and a great haiku, shelley kaye. See, even old dogs can learn new tricks. Well written with a masterful command of the King's English. Tallyho!

I dont understand haiku, but I know when I have read something that is good, expression is 99% percent of what we do, so I think you did that and more.

a haiku is a japanese poem having three lines of 17 or less syllables (short/long/short) and is about nature and/or seasons.
