abuseDon't know if you did it on purpose, but I think you got the number of the syllables wrong.

My favorites are the ones with the cat and the **.

abusecould still have the same impact and be in the correct format like so:

My heart swelled seeingmy kid smiling until Icaught the stench of pot

Take care, D.

abuseHaikus are about nature, so this would be considered a Senryu. I know this site does not have a poetry sub-category of Senryu, but you could put in your summary that it's a Senryu.

Also, while you are getting the hang of writing a Senryu or a Haiku you should stick to the 5-7-5 syllable format. I know "technically" it doesn't have to be in this format as long as its 17 syllables long, but most people are more comfortable sticking with and reading the 5-7-5 format.

Yours, however, doesn't qualify in either standard. You've got a 5-5-6 syllable format with total of only 16 syllables.

This was funny, though.

Take care, D.

abuseThese remind me of the strange way that being punched in the stomach can make a person laugh. Come out very honest, and right-true to life.
