High pressure Haiku



THE WORST OF ALL TIMES


Slumped against the door
til Men In White Coats took him;
Awful Christmas Day


Party in full swing
Death enters uninvited
Shock charges glasses


Flames consume the car:
get the kids to safety quick!
Time stands still and burns


"A room of your own
means nothing." Doctors spoke lies
They thought I might die


Predator let loose
Internet indiscretion
Virtual nightmare

Kate, each one of these magnificent Haiku’s is incredibly well-written, and just makes one grip on the arm chair tightly, while reading them. These are all so very powerful even standing alone yet, combined together on the same page, they explode as any pressure cooker would with the lid on too tight, and can’t vent the excess steam. You rock, fair lady Poet! Thank you for sharing your remarkable talent.

I love these! It's so challenging to pack such emotive language in short, highly structured sentences.

Dear Kate,

Often in fewer words, is wherein the power lies. Haiku delivers that. In these, it certainly don't seem to be a nice place to be at. Hopfully the next ones will be powerful in a positive light.
Take care Kate.

Warm hugs

Kate,
Excellent Haikus. Must take many preventative measures to avoid these.

The high pressures are here like Ed stated. Your Hiaku's have wisdom in synopsis form. Great and explosive.

Wow. All of these are, indeed, 'high pressure' Haikus, Kate; and all of them are very powerfully penned. Life can really deal some bad cards; and it often takes a very strong and determined soul to survive and overcome them.

Well Done, Haiku Poetess!
