Nightmare
I walked on a nightmare’s pathway,
After I’d been hasseled all day,
And went into a land of war,
With endless ships lining the shore!
I felt I had to get away.
In a city with skies of grey,
Miss Muffet ate her curds and whey.
No spider though just a street whore,
I walked on.
Miss Muffet sat in disarray,
“For sex I never ever pay!”
I started looking for a door
Found an entrance to a drug store
And so made good my get away…
I walked on.
When nothing is certain anything is possible
life happens . . .

Haiku inspired (mostly) by my walks in and around Eastbourne
Often rough and filled with switchbacks, the road this child of God is traveling Home.

Almost perfect! I should have made it clearer in my instructions that the last line of the second and third stanzas are supposed to be shorter than the rest. Otherwise, it looks great! I love how whimsical it is. Would you like to make any changes to it before I add it to the challenge post?

Ah…let me fix the second and third stanza endings…I’ll have to look at your instructions more carefully!

Fixed it…and to think I’d just written a Rondeau Redoublè and know the rule…once I thought about it 🙂 Thanks again for your great poem and challenge!

Thanks dear for pointing out my mistake…I wrote it yesterday while doing “exhibition” duty and didn’t check it out later when I published it. .-)

Yep…I’d hesitate to have it interpreted by Mr. Freud!
