remember antm cycle 4? on one episode, everyone posed as embodiments of the “seven sins”
Buried in riches
It’s too bad there’s no Prada
In the afterlife.
恵
Under his table
Dogs and beggar grappling
Over scraps that fall.
恵
Inside holy ground
Friar wraps fat fingers ‘round
Widow’s last silver.
恵
Classic tale of greed
Dog covets another’s bone
Hence, ended with none.

Today’s sin: Greed
*last haiku – surely you remember from when you were kids? The tale of the greedy dog? ^^
**A scheduled post. and prolly my only post for this day. Having said all that, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! ^^ wow that was depressing.lol xoxo

Ah but if the afterlife is a fantasy world then Prada abounds 😉
Little tip on Prada, don’t buy it overseas and bring into Australia as luggage, use it, they sting you import duties!!!
oh. and here i thought the afterlife’s a place where people can walk around freely in their birthday suit– without malice of course ^^ thanks for the tip
happy valentines day 🙂
That second haiku is just superb – so raw, and real, and sad. Very much a classic; honest to the nature of haiku – saying it how it is……first..no comment!! 4th…yes…3rd…well, of course…he probably let his hands stray when she was around too…
yes, quite likely that he wraps his fat fingers around her too >< very gross. and i get angry when i think about such injustices over women.
well,
happy valentines day 🙂
You are just so good
First is light-hearted
Second is heavy-hearted – and sadly all too true
Third reminds me of the Vatican
Don’t know the greedy dog’s tale, but I can imagine
Cheers!

let me.. let me… ^^ so there was this dog who was hungry then found himself a juicy piece of bone. he carried it in his mouth, casting angry, guarded looks at everyone as though they’re gonna steal the bone from him.on his way home, he passed by a stream. there, he saw his own reflection. he actually thought it was another dog and he wanted to have the other dog’s bone too!! but when he opened his mouth to steal it, down fell his bone.. into the stream, never to be seen again. in the end, he went home hungry as ever. the end. 🙂
Love the first. All well done : )
thanks and happy valentines day 🙂
the second one is a real heartbreaker..well done

Very good haiku
the 1st : remind me not to be too attached and focus on material things in life.
the 2nd : remind me on a chapter in bible about the rich and the poor
the 3rd : remind me on the old dark days when church was corrupted
the 4th : remind me to be content and grateful for what I have and don’t lust for others
thank you so much 🙂 happy valentines day 🙂
Lovely set and they all read ‘greed’ ~ Happy Valentine’s Day ~

each one so powerful, they elicited a grunt of sad acknowledgement …..
You captured it perfectly. Vivid image of the beggar and dogs under the table.
All these are excellent- But I particularly like the one with the greedy friar.
Chuckled with the first one, KZ, but a wonderful collection of haiku. Second one – a true gem if you ask me. 🙂
Great series on different kinds of greed. Thank you.
thank you 🙂
