Thank you for reading!
My final entry into the Quadru-Haiku Challenge. Someone had mentioned doing 4 haikus of 3 words each. So I had a go. Using the elements for acrostics. Word nerd, I am.
I really enjoyed working on this challenge. It pushed me when I really needed to be pushed. It made me think outside the box. It made me really understand better how to use words, carefully and economically.
If you enjoyed this, please click the heart, leave a comment or do both. You can also subscribe for more taking apart and putting back together of the English language, mumblings and strange takes on prompts. I also intend on doing more fiction and some non-fiction too.

I love this. I just can’t get past the haiku “Impenetrable / Cryptozoological / Eroticism”. 🤣 I just have to ask: what was going through your head with that one?
Damn. I felt the whooshing as some of those words flew over my head. But I applaud your inner word-nerd, as I love words too. This is too clever, lol. Scrambling to define them all!
Wow, this must’ve taken so much thought and time. Very cleverly done
What an amazing feat! Excellent job!♥️
These were well done and a great challenge
This took some definite skill. Well done, Paul!
This is indeed excellent!
Damn. Where's my dictionary? Well done, buddy.
I love how you used one word for each line. Powerful!
Superphenomenal... My favorite word of the day! Great poem!
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Single worded Haikus that are also acrostic! You're now the King of Poetry!
Totally the level of nerd I like!
Unique awesome 👍
Ahh, I am all shades of green right now. You did it! I gave up on mine, lol. I'll need to re-read this a few times to appreciate the immense effort this took to complete. Bravo!
