Unique in our minds

Alone in the dark
Writing poems about life
Watching it pass by

The journey we take
Is a journey we endure
In hope of freedom

Haiku Theory: COMPLEXITY

Haiku Theory: COMPLEXITY

Haiku Theory: LIFE

Sifting through the mess

I have to say that after reading the winning poems for this month and the previous contests, I’ve come to the conclusion the people using it are the dumbest people on the planet. The winning poems are not good. The fact I didn’t even get runner up on any means this is a garbage site. See ya
