precarious perch
gripping for my sanity,
must not let it go.

This is my second Haiku.

About Tessa
My name is Tessa Dean and I am an author and blogger. My writing styles vary and I love writing using prompts.
I am also writing my first book, a Memoir entitled "Government Property - A Memoir of a Military Wife". This is being published on the blog rather than the traditional way. I am putting up chapters as I go along. I keep my blog filled with useful content, stories, and poems. Plenty to keep you busy. I have also been interviewed by blogs and had other posts published on many different blogs. I also wrote a series of articles on Bipolar Disorder for IBPF (International Bipolar Foundation).
I am in my 60’s and disabled which allows me plenty of time to write to my heart’s content.
I live in southern New Jersey and have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My oldest grandchild is a Sargent in the United States Marine Corps.
Nice one. I like it.

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.

“must not let go”
oh yes, that is the key. Of course you can be scared, but hold on.
Lovely haiku and thought.

Thank you Janna! I am working on it. Writing Haikus is like writing a story in exactly 33 words LOL!

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.
