Today’s prompt on Haiku Heights is Chivalry
Chivalry
alas, chivalry
fled with the death of the knights
damsels in distress

You nailed it 🙂
Thanks, Kwanima 🙂
Oh yes!! This is absolutely the truth!! Finely expressed!!
Thank you my friend
Oh yes! I love this one. Here’s my response:
young knights learn kindness
and win fair maiden’s true love
mom’s firm tutelage
Ah! Mothers know best 🙂
And I’m a VERY BOSSY mom. 🙂
damsels in distress
don’t want no stinking flower
they need some action
One,
This cracked me up!
lady killer writes
his sensitive poetry
cupid misses mark
😉 Alice
cupid misses mark
hits the wrong damsel and lad
love blossoms with glee
What fun, Celestine. I like your response to the response. So what else can I do but one more? 😉
unpredictable
whose heart love’s arrow pierces
you could be the next
hot action or cold
lads shoot fast to the rescue
chivalry dies not
chivalry dies not
attempts to slay are parried
by knight on white horse
knights on white horse rush
to rescue fallen maidens
scarlet love at work
Oohhhh – very, very good!!!
Thank you my friend 🙂
Congratulations for being nominated for the Inner Peace award given by Tatiana.
Ow, thank you so much, Bharadwaj. 🙂
nice one, rp. : )
Thanks 🙂
So true when world feels inhuman and hollow. Beautiful…
Thank you Panchali, as always. 🙂
I married chivalry ♥ It’s not dead. But the world sometimes feels this way for sure.
The world has become cynical, I agree. I am a firm believer of chivalry too 🙂
I don’t think chivalry is dead. I can’t see anyone putting their coat in a puddle so I can walk over it these days. But opening doors and thinking about the female form is still chivalrous, in a weak diluted manner, but still chivalrous. Great hiaku
Thanks, Nana. I guess if we search high enough we will find some chivalrous men around, even here 🙂
I have hope that chivalry will rise like the phoenix!
Hear, hear 🙂
Tis true, my Lady!
🙂 Thanks
There are many gentlemen out there – as there are ladies. One begets the other, I reckon
Too true, Eric. 🙂 Thank you for coming by
Very true Celestine, I too mourn the loss of chivalry.
Like Gilly said one day chivalry will rise like the phoenix 🙂
Knights are scarse nowadays…
Too true. Or maybe we are not searching enough
I’m trying to click “like,” but my computer is loading too slowly. 🙂

Thank you, Usha
Damsels in distress
Pain and sorrow, hate and crime
Seen no knights on horse
Alas chivalry!!
Alas chivalry
Thou has fled to brutish beasts
Decorum is lost
Spot on dear friend, couldn’t click ‘like’ had no idea why!
I love the haiku!!
🙂
Thanks, Seyi my dear. Sometimes, the like button misbehaves 🙂
Wow Celestine. I had to come back for a second look. Your blog is a happening kind of place! All the responses to responses! What fun! I enjoyed them all. 🙂
Thank you, Alice. I’m glad you came back. But you started it, you know, you and One of a Class 🙂
Yeah. That oneofaclass. He’s a funny guy. 🙂
Sad but true, a nice pointing out of what we lose, of course some of us still hold doors open for others…not to brag or anything.
LOL You are not bragging at all 🙂 My husband irons my dress for me every day before going to work. 🙂
Now that is impressive…I never brag, even if I am awesome!
a truth we will have remember!
Yes 🙂
Alas indeed! I think Carpe Diem daily haiku could REALLY benefit from more of you!
