Curious Conundrum: a #Quadrille – #haibun

What could it hurt, right?

I have nine lives, after all, or so they tell me. And I always land on my feet!

I have to know. I have to know! I don’t care what curiosity does!

Because I know what satisfaction does.

    Curiosity does put a tiger in the tank doesn’t it. I enjoyed your stream of consciousness here.

    And so it is, satisfaction is the end product, smiles.

    Hahaha, this is too true! Sometimes, curiosity just eats at you and the result is something we may remember.

    You summed up the nature of the cat so succinctly here Frank – bravo! What’s the worst that could happen, especially when you always land on your feet?

    I think you have caught the essence of why anyone is curious.

    Frank, could you please explain to the ignorant (i.e. me) why/how this is a haibun?

    It’s lovely – I’m just confused, that’s all.

      The last word, revelation?

      It is a one-word haiku.

      It’s a hat-tip to Cor van den Heuvel, haiku poet and editor extraordinair, who ignited controversy when his ELH-first “Tundra” was published.

        Ok, first, THANK YOU – I really appreciate the explanation. Secondly… I… wow? I mean… I’ve seen haikus that don’t follow the traditional 5-7-5… but a haiku which is one word? That sort of blows my mind
