How can trust be round-eyed?

when it is unexpected...
sometimes the reaction of someone you trust can amaze you...
the shoe could have been thrown at whatever 'caused' the kitten to yowl...

Sorry my dear but my haiku need no riddles, they are simple observations without speaking in riddles.

an observation and perception again geert...
not a riddle...
if i read again and again...it shows me the same simple picture of...

loud wailing
a frightened kitten (looking straight at me...round-eyed)
you throw your shoe (at whoever frightened the kitten...)
simple...

Dear,
You where talking about the unexpected, that is a riddle to me.:-) A second is: why repeating a simple observation? A haiku needs no X-ray examination because a haiku is only a dewdrop(in my perception).

...and differing perceptions have their own -individual values-. Is my observation in error because it fails to match another's perception_? _m

noted...

brave little round-eyed kitten...

your shoe missed the kitten geert...
it got me...
unexpectedly...
it leaves me round eyed too...
yet i trust you...
and appreciate your spontaneous observation...perception...and momentous reaction to the situation...
i promise not to caterwaul again...

Indeed Magyar, I'm not that retarded. Nobody talks about your observations or about errors. I was only talking about my own spontaneous observations. And dear Rebba, I give you a big hug. And one flower to Sarah.

to breeze flowers
coloring drive ways

Geert, I did not employ, nor did I imply the word chosen by you -retarded-. I hereby, and humbly, apologize for any misunderstanding caused by the feckless use of my native tongue. Sincerely, _m.

Dear Magyar,
no apologizes dear friend when I have chosen for self-mockery. That's my own feckless style.

Very simple, yet thought-provoking in its simplicity! That is real haiku! See the ideas it has generated! Thanks for sharing it with us, geert!
