RN, You need to post the last faux-ku above yours and use a word or two from it to create a new one.

Baha memories

Memories of mammaries
are icicles in my beard:
dripping on my toes.
“Poo-tee-weet.”
So the saying goes!
How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

In his father's pocket
a child's hand is clean
slow to grow up

He'd eye the crowd,
pick his mark, sidle close and never
make the wrong move.

Eyeing the sidle;

the crowd is on the move.

(yours describes the state
of my poor garden plantings
under 3 feet of winter)
So long to winter’s behemoths
that violated innocent flora
asleep in their beds
