haiku retrospective cccxlvi

Check your towel before you get out, too. I once emerged from a relaxing shower, wrapped myself in a thick terrycloth towel, and had a brown recluse run down my leg.

A non-haiku tried to write me yesterday. I told it that there wasn't any way it would rise to haiku status. It grumbled a bit and subsided. You have given me courage to post it as a cinquain.

hindsight --
that fall I had
rollerblading backwards
lingers in my hip long after
you left

or...

hindsight --
that fall I had
rollerblading backwards
has stayed with me much longer than
you did
