I give to you now my latest excursion into the world of Haiku, (After researching the archives) I do not think that I have posted this one before. In any case here is/are “Emotions In Haiku”…
As you may or may not know, the word ‘hai’ in Japanese means yes, in English. What ku means, is somewhat more obscure, but by translating it from Japanese to Jakese and then Jakese to English (see Jakese to English dictionary, available everywhere phony books are sold) it takes on the superlative case of the word ‘master’ or master*ful. Therefore the word Haiku means “Yes master” or “Yes, oh masterful one”…
Please read and enjoy.
Make Monday suck less, SMILE… It confuses the hell out of people!

Emotions In Haiku
[ • ]
Hate consumes the mind
Love invigorates the heart
Seek and ye shall find.
………………………………………………………………
Laughter from the child
Brings a smile to the elders
Of a time Beguiled.
……………………………………………………………..
Words spoke in anger
Cutting deeply to the core
Tend more to danger.
………………………………………………………………..
Tears staining pillows
Will wash clean the criers soul
Welcomed by the willows
