Today’s haiku challenge:
My style is the five/seven/five syllable structure. Here are my 10 haiku poems:
‘why?’ hanged in the air,
a poisonous gas, killing
only me it seems.
why was the stupid
three-letter, one syllable
word that strangled me.
I asked you over
and over, ‘why?’ you only
stared with dead brown eyes.
why am I the way
I am, I ask my brain to
a knowing response.
why depression why
do you sit upon my chest
and take everything
why depression why
are you such a demanding
lover, scorning me.
why anxiety
why can others live without
you, but we’re attached.
why anxiety
do you wring me out like a
towel, dripping here.
flower asked the bee
why he keeps coming around
“I like your petals.”
zebra asked why to
the lion, who had his neck.
“This is who I am.”
