Zen and the Art of Mortgage Haiku (9 of 17)

This is the 9th of 17 entries I've written for the "Mortgage Creative Writing Challenge".

The traditional Japanese Haiku format follows the syllable pattern of 5 - 7 - 5.
The writer might bring in a word or concept (kiga) that evokes memories of a particular season.
The last line is usually in sharp contrast (caesura) to the body of the poem.

I chose to backdrop each poem with a traditional Japanese watercolor or photograph. Some in contrast, others not.

To the Haiku purist the following might not be proper in the strict sense. Your latitude is appreciated.

Mortgage Haiku # 9

Why 17? It is the total number of syllables in a Haiku, no other reason.
Why separate them? Each one should be read and engaged individually.

Now this is the heart of the issue, isn't it? If every single buyer were paying attention, doing their due diligence, this wouldn't even be a question at all.

So what will happen when this contest ends and a few of us are in need of our haiku fix? Have you considered that?

You keep on plugging away Mike! Your creativity can never be denounced!!

niiiice.

I partially agree with Jennifer, but many count on the ethics of professionals to steer them the right way. This will never happen again, because everyone will remember this fiasco caused by greed.

Mike I am starting to feel these are real pieces of art to be created and displayed in an office. Any plans to display your talent?

This may be my favorite to date.
