Good

You followed proper form with descriptive words. I can truly picture the mended sunglasses. I had not thought of humor with a haiku but it works very well with this poem. I love the way you make the inanimate object become alive by suggesting that it is hurt or has a 'boo boo' with a band aid. Good job!

Thanks! I think you're right in that 'classical' haiku aren't normally funny.

Excellent

the healing most certainly will be slow as we are not talking about the glasses, but the pride that has taken a battering by being seen to be so poor as to have to wear them at all

Many thanks for that.

Thank you for your title! I'm always pleased by effective humor in haiku, and this one has it. It's not uproarious, but a good chuckle. You call up human mistakes and our often slipshod ways of repairing them. Nice!

Comment from Quakergirl

Good

i like the poem but i find it confusing. is it about life or a broken bone or something like that? does it give out a message or something? otherwise i find it sort of boring. give it some meaning and "spice".
