In response to Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge: Foul & Sweet
Unopened choc’late
Was a treat from holidays
But the sweet turned foul.
This happened to me just last night, so I wished I’d taken a picture of the off chocolate before I threw it in the bin. Actually, it was the very same chocolate which I had written a haiku about after I’d come back from holidays last year. I had called it “green tea and daggers“. Above is the photo I took after I came back from holidays (that’s 11th October 2014 for my American friends).
It was my last green tea flavoured kitkat, and it had gone all permanently half-melted…
On another note, how many syllables are in chocolate? I pronounce it as “choc’late” so I wrote it like that to emphasis that pronunciation, but I suppose there must be some people who pronounce it properly. Does anyone here pronounce the whole three syllables?
And thanks again to Ronovan for another great haiku challenge!
