seemed a cavalier
but with his constant cavil
not then so civil

I was picturing a pompous knight of some sort, then found this image from the Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie of the French Knights taunting the English knights. They're so goofy!

    Life Lesson: laugh and be foolish sometimes.

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
