Technically NON – HAIKU

To raise an eyebrow
When the eye is a target
Is foolishness not bravery

 

Little is enough
When much becomes a noose
That threatens to strangle you

 

A rose has thorns
Still beautiful to behold
Held roughly will pay with pain

 

To surrender before the battle
One’s strength already known; A sign of wisdom
Disguised as cowardice

Writing - It is the air I breathe. I listen to Life (Inhale) and I breathe and write (exhale). Sometimes I masquerade as, Mum, Wife, Qualified Social Worker, Counsellor/Pastor. I love to build people up using words. "My blog selasiebulmuo.wordpress.com is a step to share my private passion in a public forum in hopes that I can challenge you to be the best you. Let my words be a bridge to the otherside of the great chasm. Life awaits you there. Fill the gap. Be INSPIRED".

      Thank you for the comment. Quite enjoyed writing them, ‘not’ technically correctly. I guess I am a rebel at heart. I tried not to stray too far though. Thanks again.

        You’re welcome. I have written a bunch that aren’t technically Haiku either. Laughing… I should post them anyway.

    All four haiku are well crafted.

    That last one – wow! – a wise man does indeed know himself and does not give in to pride or bravado
