External locusts
of approval: you are what
the swarm says you are.
Beating wings lift me
above my expectations
flutter - glorious!
Endless droning buzz
afflicts my mind in vicious
winged infestation.
Social butterfly
that winged dangerous beauty
gain praise, lose your soul.
Grasshopper, red ant,
Black ant too -- all bow down to
The sole of my shoe.

Well, it can be either 1 or 2 (if I had a diacritical accent mark, it would make things more clear), but we both seem to use it as a one-syllable (the less-poetic use, in fact):
winged in-fest-a-tion (5)
that winged dan-ger-ous-beau-ty (7)
Right?
Bzzzzz.....
The whole haiku series is worth reading, so I've posted our "comments" as the poem.
