it is summer here
yet it is winter in me
the seasons at war
my mind in turmoil
sad for no reason at all
help quiet the noise
just filled with aching
broken by the gears of life
just fucking stop it
the whispering screams
seductive as it calls out
leaving only tears
Mike's Manic Word Depot 
i just saw a red
squirrel leap off of my roof
to a maple tree.
and i thought it’s not
all for nothing is it? not as
long as squirrels fly
this is a haiku in real time to try to cheer up the haiku of sadness because…so much sadness! ❤

That worked. Thank you. I tried tanka and it failed me so went for haiku just in case.

I find the limiting to be freeing in a way. Forces me to be more concise. I do to much freeform and get lost in the words. And I can only count to twenty one but usually someone gets mad after twenty
