Dark, brooding, quiet. With portraits of your visage, I stare intently. #Poetry

i love it / it's very good
Thank you! I figured haiku was an easy format to get me back onto writing.

it's missing a cutting word / so it's not really a haiku / under technicality / but that rule is kinda stupid
Oh, don't worry, there's plenty cutting about this poem. ^^

are you not familiar with the format? / usually there's something around the end called the cutting word the recontextualizes the whole poem / if we're being sticklers about it / it's not just 575
Well, if I consider the themes and inspiration I have in mind... Technically there is? Or at least a word that's a bit of a double entendre if you know the inspiration.

i don't / but i trust you / you're a talented poet / my poetry is rap / so i'm kinda a nerd about this stuff / sorry
No, it's okay! I know nobody else knows! It's kind of like the poetry equivalent of #vagueposting! And do you honestly think the President of the Literature Club ISN'T a nerd about this stuff too? Let's just say, I was partly inspired by the imagery of eyes. So "visage" and "stare" are sort of tying into that!

oh that's cool / that's the human word for ganderbulbs right? / it's nice to have biological inspiration
Uh, probably, based on what "gander" and "bulb" mean, yes!
