A Simple Declaration

Poem Commentary

After popping my haiku cherry with 'A Haiku for the Crab', I thought I'd go completely the opposite way. Instead of a set of 4 rhyming ones about a very disturbing subject, I'd revert back to the traditional 3 lined haiku about a lighthearted, innocent topic: liking someone! But, I still made it rhyme. Sorry peeps, I can't get away from them rhymes! Enjoy. Hopefully.

A Simple Declaration




A simple haiku,
Written because I'd like to
Declare I like you.

Oh thank you so much Stefy, that's really kind of you! Yeah, I enjoyed playing with haiku in my first attempt, but I wanted to lend its fabulous form to something far more uplifting and light-hearted, and get away from the seriousness of my usual work. Hence this- a playful, simple, short confession of fondness!

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
