Hey Haiku

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JCkGvjUboGs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
A  sheer black stocking
is all it takes to restore
vitality to some  guys

Is this a bad dream?
Is this my good Christian wife?
She looks different

Who is this woman?
I am scared she is going
to doth strangle me

Death by sheer stockings
I wonder if it's a sin
enjoying last gasps

I prefer her in aprons
chained tight to the kitchen sink
barefoot and pregnant


Keeping awake  too
is vital for a marriage
her that is not me

    What a narrative ~ I think a woman should continue to bring surprises and vitality to her marriage ~ If she needs to wear sheer stockings, then let her be ~

    Cheers ~

    Lot of thoughts, I have a advice for you,try putting them in more condensed form, you'll unleash the beauty of haiku more! cheers!

    You threaded a gr8 story.. but as Jaideep said above, condensed version would do more justice to your haiku! :)
    But well done.. i liked the 'barefoot and pregnant' part a lot!
    Our day, her vital night!

    Men up in arms against women. Women bidding her time. Fireworks may be stoked! Whoa! Great write Cressida!

    Never been a big fan of Haikus but I like how you create a story with a cluster of them.
