A madness that lasts

footprints forever

That is a beautiful take on the prompt word SIS and so true too!!
ReplyDeleteHow true! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you. Very thought provoking. Thank you, SIS.
ReplyDeleteI love the positive spin you put on this. It is so true. Mine was a little more specific to anger itself and was easy as I am really angry at someone right now. I will take your words to heart and forgive them so I can move on and waste no more time thinking about the wrongs they caused.

I posted a little early because it is Sunday night here in Missouri (USA) but I knew that it was either now or really late tomorrow night.
We had about the same thoughts when it came to anger, how we control it sort of. I enjoyed the simplicity and the message. I hope I did the link as you wished:

There are a few of you whom I cannot respond to on your pages. I keep finding "errors on submissions" often. I apologize if you did not see me visit but I have made a point to read each one before the next post. Thanks

Yes, sometimes anger is a loss of living. That picture is an amazing portrayal of rage.

this is so true, SiS. anger leaves a path of destruction that will take a lifetime to rebuild. there is so much wisdom in your words... words to live by.

Such an intriguing prompt and the responses from everyone, so evocative.
ReplyDelete(And an aside - many of my wordpress comments are not going through. I feel badly because I am commenting but I rarely see my comments. Am hoping those haiku artists check for comments that aren't showing up in their blogs... because I am commenting!)
SIS, why is it when I sign up on the Linky thing a red "X" shows up by my name? I'm following the directions so I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong. No one else has an X by their name. Although, I just saw that Mike Patrick complained of the same thing happening to him. Just curious...
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know...

ReplyDeleteBoth haikus are sorrowfully true. At least until alzheimer's kicks in I guess. (ha- but, not so funny with Grandma there)
ReplyDeleteI occasionally have haikus up on my site (like today), but every day would be a trick. Nice challenge SIS.
Nice!
