wrong way


I rounded off the
corners only to be left
with nowhere to turn
Today's NaPoWriMo prompt from readwritepoem was to "get scrappy" and use a piece of an unfinished poem. So, I took this scrap and made a haiku. It's all I've got in me today, apparently, but I kind of like it.

  2. I love a good haiku and this one does not disappoint one bit. There is so much power in the short amount of words used here. Incredible.

  7. Thanks, everyone! I was feeling sheepish about resorting to haiku. Glad it came across effectively to all of you.
