Lisa,
Your poem is a funny one for sure! Your last line is the best.
We had competed in the same contest, but we did not achieve the top podium place.

Thanks Mark. I liked your Old Mariner poem... pipped for podium by one vote.

This is a cool look at dishes, Lisa. Flying saucers whirling through our kitchens - thank goodness for dishwashers!
the 575 style is hard to use but you are really got your idea across with the words and image, glenda

I like thinking how to wrangle words into 5-7-5 format... it's a challenge.

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
Love this poem. It's whimsical and humorous. Great job with the prompt. Good luck in the contest. The image is absolutely perfect! It made me smile. I hope it has that affect on others.

What can a man say
in somewhat reasonable way
about 5-7-5's ? ....................................
give a rating based on enjoyability, maybe.

Thanks for this. I'm pleased you found merit in such a short piece.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
these flying saucers are breakable unless they are not glass. Kitchen duty happens three times a day. I remember when we started washing dishes, the troops were called in. We didn't have a dish washer.

I only have to wash up after myself, so I don't use a dishwasher. I am it.
Comment from Wendy G
Very imaginative. Good play on the idea of flying saucers! Yes, that would make for a problem with the dishwasher. Well written. Best wishes for the contest.

Thanks for your review. I think my dishwasher will take off one day and fly to Mars.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
I really like super-short poems that exhibit dry humor--like this one. You really have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables. Very clever
figures of speech

Thanks for appreciating my dry wit in a wet situation.
Comment from Paul McFarland
That picture goes extremely well with the Haiku. I used to be like that, but my dirty dishes didn't look quite as neat as your pile. Oh, and it wasn't because the dishwasher was broke.

Thanks for reviewing, Paul. I've never met anyone who actually likes washing up.
