Solitude

Written in the 8th grade.

Shadows of the past,

rejected and secluded

only in your mind.

This haiku made me realize something about Haiku: in Japanese tradition, they were generally about "mother" nature and followed an idea-pattern per line (I never remember the specifics), but American Haiku are usually about inner or human nature. Maybe. Often.

Anyway, you really managed to pack a lot of meaning into it. I'm seriously impressed.

it's funny how little can tell illuminate so much about a poem. Your poem's title is what drew me first to it. It first did sound like someone wanted allude to a phallic idea and yet a beauitful haiku was written and flowered a nice and simple haiku and didn't even hit near cliche and showed so much without giving anything up. Keep up the good work, and I'm eager to read more and more of your work.

I can't find the words to say to this. It's amazing.

Shadows of my past
Always bring me sad and down
I need to smoke weed

:D

Beautiful and evocative. You certainly packed a lot of meaning into so few words. This is really a well done haiku.

Hey Breezie, I enjoyed this, it tells me that at times when we look at something, it will give meaning to only us, as we feel it. Great job
