Parsley
For Caroline Jane's VSS Haiku Challenge
I am not sure I got the idea completely right, but I will try...
You here, so quiet...
Finer foods surpass your touch.
Bitter and needed.

Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.

Lol! I love this. Parsley is one of my favorites! I make tabouleh all the time! YUM! Well done!!
Fantastic! ❤️
Just like the humble parsley, the beautiful simplicity of this poem packs a mighty punch. True haiku essence ❤️
Great job!
Nice work!
Good one, Kendall! I’m a big Parsley fan!
Nice one.
Oooo, I actually love parsley! Great choice!
Super!!! Loved this!!!❤️❤️💕
Oh! Enigmatic parsley hey! I like it... I like it a lot!!! Thanks for playing along. 🥰
I have a certain fondness for parsley. Possibly quite the superfood, if we ate more of it, eh?
I like parsley flavor-can't stand cilantro
An essential ingredient in "green" borsch.
It makes a lovely garnish
would we call this bitter-sweet?
I only like parsley for the way it decorates and elevates my dishes. I don’t like its taste though. Great haiku.
