Traditional Knife Haiku

[Prester John]

Of all the covers,
Natural is best for knives:
Stag, bone, even wood.

 

[5K Qs]

Yes, I do like knives,
But I don't really know why.
Nostalgia, I guess.

(I consulted several online dictionaries to determine that "nostalgia" does indeed have 3 syllables. )

Christmas coming soon,
Under our trees: many knives,
Anticipation. . .

 

[DelOro]

USPS delivers smiles,
Many knives, packages too
Sitting in Columbus...

Boo Hoo!

 

[black mamba]

The Cuban Stockman
Three-blade cattle knife:
establishmentarian
specificity.

The Grinling Whittler
Unsymmetrical,
orthosymmetrically
disproportionate.

The Case Trapperlock
Peripatetic
unconventionality:
impersonator.

 

[5K Qs]

Very cool, Jeff!
(I couldn't do something like that unless I went to Jurassic Park and captured a Thesaurus! )

Then you would have a genetically engineered haiku!

Here you go Pinemoon - on one of the themes of the day

Full moon rises over pines
over flame, supper
new navaja purposeful

It took me a week to find this fun thread - so here I offer one more -

Companion to all my gear
glinting steel compels
magic of a trusty knife

Best canoe maker?
Boker, Klaas, or Rough Rider?
I'll rest my Case...

Love that blade etch.

Thanks Vince I've been looking for this one in decent shape AND a good price for several months now... finally landed one, it's a 1978'er. It was worth the wait

These are cool variations on the haiku structure, Ray. Your syllable counts per line are 7-5-7, but the OP's requirement for conventional haiku have a 5-7-5 count!

Thanks Ray,

Never been to Spain
Though I kinda like knives there
You enlightened me

Well done, Mamba Man
Haikus can have a title
I want a Cuban

Winter weather woes
Blow not over Texas skies
An elk in pocket

Yeah, but I get a break as a dyslexic Frenchman who doesn't understand Japanese or Chinese. OOPS

They wouldn't have worked any other way. Poetic ain't they - nonetheless?
OK - I'll try to do better next time.

I should add - I spent nearly all of the afternoon cooking up some cannabis tincture (medicine - really)
blending and mashing frozen cannabis buds with 200 proof alcohol then cooking off the alcohol. I was breathing fumes the entire time - otherwise as sober and straight as my Mother. She never ever drank alcohol - never even thought about drugs - even prescribed meds.

Can help to explain some of my haikukoo - don't you think
