    Further, while "WTF" may be a suitable Kireji, the verse given lacks any discernible kigo.

    Ooooh. I hadn't thought of that. I'd totally un-downvote now if I could.

    @Phoshi - Added haiku tag. Now unfrozen is your vote. Up-vote if you wish.

    @Phoshi - You only have one chance. Either "undo down-vote" or "reverse to up-vote" before you are "outside the window." Try again after edit.

all converge to read
written courtesies gone cold
somewhere a phone rings

fruit falls from the tree
birds have not gone for winter
one careless beetle

web in disrepair
spiders go strangely absent
they don't like pressed meat
