    Discombobulated sure describes the modern vibes. Great three word haiku, fitting. Kudos on L/B.

    Restraint in haiku is already extreme, let alone limiting it to only three words! Fantastically executed!

    Confusion leads to meaning and finding the real person underneath - I hope… Excellent three word Senryu, Lamar.

    Lamar the words you chose and the image match perfectly.

    Excellent, Lamar

  • Well-wrought! The crowd wants someone to stand up for them but get uncomfortable when anyone stands out too much, eh?

  • Ok this is fabulous

  • Excellent haiku & entry for the challenge. I love the word “ discombobulate“ but probably not the feeling, so much!🤣

  • Oooo, discombobulate is a new word for me. Loved your poem!
