#joinin #today #haiku I was contemplating why I write haiku that are “…dark…morose…sad…” People who have read my haiku often ask if I am doing well. I admit, they are on the dark side, but I think I perceived the process. When challenged with a haiku prompt, I see and feel the emotion. From there I go within myself and break off a piece of the darkness to transform into haiku. It is cathartic and I feel lighter unburdening some of my angst. Does that make sense?
