What Lurks Ahead

(a haiku)

Skin pricks, heart beats fast
Hands tighten round shark-skin haft.
Embers in the black.



Prof. Androne sez: Haft of what? This one puzzles me. Grade: Check

    Did you ask what you needed for a check +?

    It was Richard Androne. I think he felt it needed more context for the average reader to get much out of it.

    Oh - I see you wrote that now. That’s even funnier that “he” gave it just a check. The irony is that you gave it a context with his grade and comment.
