Can you name the four-letter words to complete this ladder from a haiku that describes them?


A dry summer's day Lips accept my punishment Run your tongue over
Filled the concert hall Recognize a job well done Go and take a bow
Opens and closes Denizen of the ocean Good on the half shell
Closing what's open More force than necessary Watch out for your thumb
Unfit to call home Broken bottles line the streets Never coming back
Water floats beneath The pond remains unmoving I will form above
Our king, he has died You'll get his inheritance Just send a small fee
Cutting up the cloth Piece after piece, laid atop A stitch creates me
Photons shining bright Spilling over the flashlight I will reveal you
Emblem to salute Flaps in California's breeze Head beneath a star
Green skin, sweet to eat Plenty of seeds within me I fell off a tree
Buddy in the fray Work together, equals we You are not my boss

	Unfit to call home. Broken bottles line the streets. Never coming back. Sounds a lot like getting kicked out of a bar to me...

	Another fan of Haiku number 7 here. Nice :)

	Good quiz. I misread unfit to call home as unfit to phone home until I realized I had the wrong meaning of "call". We have a fun language.

	Excellent quiz.

	Good quiz, but aren't rungs 5-7 unnecessary? You can go straight from "closing what's open..." to "cutting up the cloth..." in one step, if I'm not mistaken.

	The one about California didn't help me at all, but now that I looked it up, it will next time. Thanks, tobley!

	A very fine quiz. I started in the middle. Please make more, Tobley.

	Struggled 2 minutes/realized IT'S A LADDER!/I started over.

	I'm glad HectorVortac got here first. Was about to put the exact same comment (right down to the 2 minutes of struggling before realizing), but wouldn't have put it so poetically...
