This is Ronovan’s latest haiku challenge, with the prompt words “lock” and “gab”. https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/haikuchallenge-49-ronovanwrites-lock-gab/ I wrote a huuuuuge pile of love haiku at the weekend that I’m publishing here each day, and it seems that the theme of love has seeped into these too…
The Princess and the Toad
A garrulous toad
Unlocks the princess’s heart
But he’s not a prince
The Love That Dare Not Speak
I don’t have the words
For love that dares not whisper
Lock down all feeling
Routemaster
The gift of the gab
Is my route to your riches
A forbidden love?
Heh heh…really enjoyed that first one in particular.

Hi Al! I loved all three haiku. I’m torn between the first and second as my favorite. 😉
