an almost innocent haiku

saplings bow to sky
oven mark now passing nine
salt and peaches pie

    It might not be completely guilt-free, but it's still quite tasty.

    Nice. what a paradox from language, adding Almost to inocent actually transform it s semantics to not innocent at all, almost reverses the meaning, instead of aproaching it.

    A sense of where 'majesty' and the 'mundane' meet...

    "Almost" is right. Innocent haiku are rarely this delicious.
