Precarious Perch,
Gripping for my sanity,
Must not let it go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is my second Haiku and I wrote it for Haiku Friday (May 9) and Studio30 Plus (as my first entry on this site).
This is Tessa getting back into the groove!

I had a similar train of thought in my piece. But I like the simple and honest whack your short piece gives.

Thanks Laura! I am really hooked on these Haikus. I got started with shorter bits with Trifecta and these are of course harder with the syllable counts and the 3 lines.

Thank you Sam! Haiku’s are hard and challenging, but when one works it just flows onto the screen. I find that with regular poetry as well.
