A gun to a knife fight: a haiku or Let’s duel

I challenge you. Let’s
duel. Wave your poet swords
and poet pistols.

A friend and I have been writing haikus back and forth. We have been following the 5-7-5 format. I wrote this haiku to invite him into a duel. But ended up not sharing it until we were already underway.

I’ve been trying to add drawings or pictures.

He won round 1. 🎉 I won round 2. 🎉

I recently learned that adding a seasonal reference to a haiku is called a kigo.
