Death by Haiku Prompts were for haiku on death or as a weather report, or an open topic free verse "Invalid Post" I won 2nd Wurst for Death Haiku Open Topic Free Verse many a poet has taken up the pen (his or hers) to celebrate the Open Topic and the Free Verse but the efforts were all in vain for, while a Topic may be Opened and closed again and again a Verse, once tamed can never be Free again Death Haiku The blonde dame came in She wailed, so I slapped her. Twice. Her parrot was dead.
