Haiku Wednesday - Freestyle

No particular theme today - open to imagination or flights of fancy.

Words in Haiku

I

Styled grouping of words

Arranged in set syllables:

Five, seven and five.

Verbal origami:

Meanings captured in folded

Groups of syllables.

III

Spoken in anger,

Strings of hostile words that hurt:

Bad comparisons.

Flights of fancy, words

Taking wing, soaring, floating

For such a short trip.
