The Handyman's Waterloo

This haiku is written as a part of the Haiku Horizons weekly challenge.  This haiku was created around the word, "level".  This is my first foray into this particular challenge.  I hope you enjoy it. :)


The Handyman's Waterloo

There is no avoiding
The handyman's Waterloo
When the level speaks.

    I have seen that off-kilter bubble far too many times to mention. Thanks for finding me and leaving your comment. It is appreciated. :)

      Originally, I thought about emotions and justice but, for my first foray on this website, I didn't want to appear too heavy-handed, if you know what I mean?, :) I am happy you enjoyed my first haiku for you.

    it's great, and I love that you are writing more often. Seeing you show up in my email makes me smile because I adore your words and way of looking at the world very much.

    the way you used level was creative and fun.

      Thank you for finding me here. I love having my Trifecta pals connecting outside of Trifecta. I am hoping that losing the comforting protection of Trifecta will force me, as it were, out into the real world. I am not looking for tons of challenges but, developing more discipline with how often I write, is an important next step for me. I am glad that I found this haiku challenge and that I found you here, too. :)

      Thank you, Milan. I hope to partipate on a regular basis, now that I have found this site. This week's haiku was a good introduction for me. I look forward to creating an even wider range of haiku in the weeks and months to come. It is a pleasure to have made your acquaintance. :)
