Booty (haiku)
Keep trying, Rick. The beauty of the haiku is that it challenges the writer to choose words very economically to communicate a message in only seventeen syllables. I find that limitation helpful when I'm feeling overwhelmed by words.Excellent job Alex! I am no expert but have been trying to create a haiku myself. Besides creating a haiku, it is amazing what you were able to express with only 12 words. Thanks for sharing, you have motivated me to keep trying.

Thanks Darren.Alex, it's great! 3 little lines, a lifetime of hurt. Well done!
I like haiku also for the very same reason. Lots of complex thoughts and feelings can swirl around like mental dust devils in my head and heart. Extracting their essence in to a haiku really helps me clarify how I'm actually feeling about something.The beauty of the haiku is that it challenges the writer to choose words very economically to communicate a message in only seventeen syllables.
