Case For Rhyming Haiku



For reasons unknown
to this one, the Germans call
a poppy ein Mohn.

Our word is for its
flower's shell's pop. We could have
called it a snappy.

The French call one une
coquelicot. Coque is shell. Une
coquette is a flirt.

Un coquetier is
an egg-cup. What's un licot,
this one doesn't know.

A headache is une
coquelicot too. That would with
redness have to do.
