#9: unreality

6/18/2015

the harder I looked
something it seemed not quite right
unreality
unreality
when it hit me in the face
snapped me out of dreams

First impressions that make immediate sense often don't hold up to scrutiny! How often have you had a dream that is so crystal clear... then you wake up and struggle to make any sense out of it at all? And the more you try the less sense it makes? 

  1. something that is unreal, invalid, imaginary, or illusory: She appeared to be living in a world of unrealities.
  2. lack of reality; quality of being unreal: the unreality of dreams.
  3. incompetence or impracticality, especially in everyday matters.

    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.
