Haiku: Magic Kingdom March #5
There's no way to spin this week's haiku except to say that I didn't get it right away. Take your pick: am I that dim or is JB Conway that good? (You can answer both.) When enlightenment finally dawned, I enjoyed a moment of clarity and discovery. So will you.
The haiku theme for this month is Magic Kingdom March. Each week, JB Conway will evoke the Magic Kingdom in haiku. Maybe it's a ride. Maybe a building. Maybe it's a scent or a sound. Whatever it is, JB's haiku will conjure it in your mind and make it real again.
This is a tricky one...
Maybe you'll first think of a water park, like I did, because of 'tides'. But the theme for March is the Magic Kingdom, so obviously that's wrong.
Where are there tides in the Magic Kingdom?
There are none.
I understand that guests at the Magic Kingdom are able, sometimes, to taste their 'lost youth', but what's lost as a prerequisite?
Then, like a broadside, it hit me.
And no more tales will I tell.
By the way, if you haven't bought JB's book, Mouse of Zen, and yet you come here each week to read his haikus, why do you torture yourself? Are you a masochist? (Or maybe a mouseochist?) Don't you know you can get all the haikus at once? In the book!
