Off the Cuff #3

Focus, she commanded
And tapped my head sharply with her pointer stick
I stared at the numbers blankly
And composed an answer, double-quick
How could I make her understand
My senses were merely blurred
By the alluring, blissful enchantment
Of this beautiful thing called a word?

  5. Nice one! I got so preoccupied with both numbers and words when it comes to haiku, too busily counting the syllables sometimes.
