Gunshot is fired

Crack echoes in crescendo

A coiled snake lies dead

Gunslinger’s Haiku

Gunshot is fired

Crack echoes in crescendo

A tin can lies dead

    A gun, too, can be fired–and all that once lived is still alive.–if you know what I mean. Good poem, concise–like i like them.
    comes at you in drama–cool!

    I prefer the 2nd version but it didn’t fit the challenge. ;-)

    Well you know – those tin cans can be dangerous creatures. Get a cut and nast infection Yikes – kill em all I say.

    Thanks for playing dude – especially seeing you didn’t have much time. You’ve been a great contributer for the challenge this year – you’re the best.

    Nice Haiku for the challenge Marie. I like the second one best too, tin can lies dead. Very funny line. Well done.
