Haiku - Truth Poem by Aden Orie

Indeed, because assume makes an ASS out of U and ME! ! ! We have to watch jumping to the wrong conclusions. Well constructed piece. Love Ernestine XXX

that is so true and it was a great poem and i loved it great job

that is just awesome. haha. thanks.

Oh my gosh. That's amazing. That is exactly how I feel/look at the world.

Haikus are awesome forms of poetry. You have just proven it.

so true.....i like it

Well, this is not a Haiku, Aden, but it is a Senryu. According to Japanese standards, a Haiku poem can only be about Nature and make no mention of anything else in it. A Senryu poem, using the same 5-7-5 format as the Haiku, can be about anything else. I don't know what they are teaching in school these these, but to call this a haiku is an insult to all Haiku purists. Get yourself a book on the subject and you will learn that what I said is quite true. Sadly, most Americans seem to think anything in a 5-7-5 syllable format is a Haiku, but that is not so. Your poem is a fine Senryu and is well expressed. Carl.

one needs to be reminded of this truth of yours from time to time

yes yes so true greatness! ! ! I love it! mature words were written on this page. good job. Becca

a golden haiku- truth this one! must rate it ten...
