I've enjoyed your haiku very much.
(Thanks for dropping in to visit me --I've been away sick.)

Sangeet - the haiku you are sharing with us that show bits from everyday life work so well because they feel so real - a Sylvester song has now popped into my head and won't stop playing 'You make me feel mighty real..' - sing it with me.... someone...

on a haiku anorak note this one again works well on one line without punctuation the cut is so clear as to perhaps not need the '-' after line one

i'm currently for no punctuation generally in haiku it could be just a phase but its been with me a while now years in fact

Thanks all!

It was a true to life moment unfortunately :^)

Little Onion, thanks for sharing your thoughts. This doesn't work for me as a one liner personally. I use punctuation (eg. - .. ) as kireji or caesura in some of my Haiku to deliberately create a pause, or to set the scene.

Punctuation discussions have been around in the Haiku sphere for so long that I personally feel you have to do what feels right for you. You're never going to please everyone :)
