Number 1.
Floats, folds, tangles up
Clings to itself not to my plate
Convenient? No.
Number 2.
Glad wrap. Saran wrap.
More like sad wrap. Pathetic
Excuse to ease life.
Number 3.
At my fingertips
Weather, family, and news
Scrolling, scrolling on
Number 4.
Connected to all
Necessity or demise
Notifications
Number 5.
Jesus said love them
But she has a wrong yard sign
He mows on my side
Commentary
Frontier Poetry is hosting a themed Haiku contest. The haiku are supposed to be about something you love and hate.
Yesterday I sat down and wrote these haiku,.. haikus,... (I don't know the correct plural form) to go along with Frontier's contest. (Because the contest has a $10 entry fee I am just doing these for fun not for a real entry.)
The first thing that I could think of that I love/hate is cling wrap. That stuff is so annoying! But it can serve a very useful purpose. I wrote two haiku about cling wrap.
The second thing that I could think of that I love/hate is my phone. It's a really useful tool but can also be a huge time suck and productivity drag. Haiku 3+4 are about the smart phone.
The last haiku is the most thoughtful. It is about neighbors. Jesus said to love our neighbors but I don't always want to. I am pointing out a hypocrisy of Christians that we let little things bother us and keep us from treating our neighbors with love.
I wrote 5 haiku(s) because that is how many you can enter in the contest under one entry.
The contest is open through Feb. 15, 2026. You still have time to enter. The cash prizes are pretty good!
Do you love cling wrap or hate it?
What is the first thing that comes to mind as something you both love and hate?
