FYI: You aren't supposed to use the prompt word in the haiku. You only allude to it.

eyeballs darting back and forth
tongue lassoes a bug


Next:

Oops, my bad but doesn't that make the resulting  haiku too general?  I think it needs to specify what is referred to.  That's my take on haiku. Your haiku could be misinterpreted as referring to a person on a bad drug trip.  Just kidding...  *rofl*

hahaha  *rofl*

I went back and looked at the rules, WHICH I WROTE, and it doesn't even say that!! As a matter of fact in my first example, I USED THE WORD! I guess you can forget what I said about using the word in the haiku. Have at it and have FUN!!
