Arrogance is a tedious quality. How ever does one eschew its entrapments in this noisy world?


Howler monkeys rage
Erect tails lash about
Appeasement denied

Wise choice you made coming out to stain those wheel spokes...trail is overrun with those silver-gray-pepper arrogant beards whipping the blind dust with their brethren of conformity...but the witches are nipping at their heels...and the frontier sages are nipping whiskey rich in mind on the silver dollar intaglio with the olive branch...collector's story...what rhymes with amuck!

I just wrote a monkey poem too, but you said so much in so few words. I may trash mine.

Love, it.

Nice to see a haiku with good conflict! Good poem.

I am not a lover of conflict and take steps to avoid it where I can. However, as your fine lines demonstrate above, it is only natural to vent our frustrations and maybe we should just let it all hang out, in the way that these howlers do?? And I just love that way that Nature endows species with "warning signals" - perhaps that is the trouble with us humans... in that with out sophisticated social mores and "manners" systems we have suppressed genuine feeling to our detriment, such that it vents unnaturally when the pressures get too great... wonderful, thought-provoking write.

Arrogance is an insult to God Carolyn !
And this expressive Ku exemplifies the malignancy of that vice !

As WC said. Appeasement is feeding an alligator, in the hope of being eaten by it last...
