    Shall it boil over?
    I was ready for the heat
    Though the hob was off

    I nearly ended it with ‘But the hob was off’ but thankfully I noticed how clunky that would be as a start. That’s the sort of haiku challenge that you give to an enemy, or in competitive street haiku.

    Though the hob was off,
    The haiku thread simmered well
    Now it is well done!

    Hopefully my ending isn't clunky as a start. :)

    now it is well-done
    the smoking sun-braised mountain
    that once-green mountain

    But sent his wife back

    If she's being rude
