Twisted

for the Explain the Picture contest

 

I want a new view

of the world that surronds me.

Now we are both skewed.

 

Ugly and twisted.

I've become what I've beheld.

World and I, deformed.

 

Look now with sadness

as we are both sick versions

of what has been lost.

Reviews

[Chad Hollingsworth]

I really like this! I have a sense of kinship with this.

[Andrew'sWonderland]

Great Job!! A well written piece! I have always struggled with Haikus and admire those who write them so beautifully as you have!!

[Georgia Gypsy]

Really great job on this. Haiku is not something I've tried, my hats off to those who, like you, do it so well...

[Sorry Infamous]

Chilling but absolutely beautiful. Loved the last Haiku, it was such a powerful ending.

[Jessica]

wow i really like this poem it actually has al ottt of meaning and really got me thinking about the world and how it may even effect who we become by our surroundings and the things going on around us! niceee job!

[Barbara Walker]

Haiku isn't my best format, but I admire writers who can do it! This is good, though I feel if you could expand on it, it would be a great poem! Barbara

[J.Black]

[Call Me Cash]

This is very well done. Although should skewed be skrewed? Maybe just me. But other than that, this is great! Thanks for the review by the way.
Anyway, wicked cool!

Great write describing marriage... Not all marriages...just mine,lol.

Question on haiku's? Would a publisher publish this. The reason I ask is because I'm not an admirer of haiku's because of the traditional rules. Nature and 3 line rule... I simply do not like haiku's because of that...but this, I like. This, I would buy. This, I would write. But you want find me running to the bookstore to buy the latest- Nature haiku.
