What an interesting pair of words we are given this week for Ronovan’s haiku. Sleek & Sizzle makes me want to say, shizzle ma nizzle 😉
Inciting words rolled off his sleek tongue
that my nerves sizzled in annoyance
at his attempt to sell his snake-oil.
I’m amazed at the sleek salesman audacity
even with a reputation that sizzles
he convinces people with his wicked intentions.

I hear the reverberations of the magic that’s hidden within.
Hey, I switched job from engineering to sales recently and working my butt off and you are calling me sleek. I do not have any wicked intentions, just trying to earn a living.😭😭

Watch out for the sleek tongue of hidden intentions. I’ve encountered a few in my lifetime. Your words are perfect. 🙂

Both haiku are on point. Those snake-oil salesmen with their honeyed words do annoy the hell out of me.

They are horrible and too smarmy for my liking.
