Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at a crab canon. I may have misunderstood how that works. 🤷 🤣😂⚡ It is definitely a haiku. (I think. If you combat nature, is it still considered a haiku?) ⚡ I gave it a Slam Poetry tag since it's uncomplimentary to crustaceans. No crabs were hurt during the making of this poem, but I'm not above smashing one with a baseball bat if I encounter one. I loathe seafood! Red Lobster should be as extinct as Ponderosa, in my opinion. But I suppose someone needs to clean out the oceans. To Each Their Own. As for the Fact or Fiction tag-- who knows? It coulda happened somewhere.🤷
I received an Honorable Mention in the Poetry Contest!!!
I'm honored!!!

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

I enjoyed every word of yours. Here is where reality can be described in a clever and humorous way, making us smile.
Haha-you get me every time! I have been in my shell: glad I poked my head out this morning:)
Thanks for writing and sharing Bill! As a Cancerian, I feel especially highlighted 😜
Humorously written and loved it!!!
Nicely done!
Good job in my eyes.
Wonderfully done!!
Hahahahaha I love this! This was fun! 🌟💌
Ha! This is absolute crabtastrophe! Pure seafood warfare with a haiku twist—genius. And that disclaimer? Perfection. ✨ P.S. No crabs were harmed in the making of this (but some were definitely launched).
That is great! I'm no expert! Always trying for it. Sometimes I'm close. The point of the crab canon is that it says something different, using the same sentences only backward - and I still don't have that. But you sure may have it, even if you didn't type the words again from bottom to top. Great job with your haiku too!
That was fun
It doesn't matter if you've misunderstood it or not because I love it!
