Ideals/Failure/Sacrifice/Life: 4 Haikus (National Poetry Writing Month 2019 #17)   Leave a comment

If I hold ideals,
Am I not obligated
To live them myself?
—
In failure, I grow
Into someone with the chance
To fail yet again
—
Life: a sacrifice
To the gods, or to our fate
Willing or afraid
—
My life is fleeting
The amount is just a crumb
But the taste is sweet
