Anxiety in Haiku
In an attempt to corral my racing thoughts and pounding heart, I turned once again to writing Haiku. A trio emerged.
1.
Anxious mind
Pulling up daisies
Checking roots
2.
Anxious heart
wringing hands sweating
Calm hands pray
3.
Aching hands
white knuckle anxious
Jesus saves
NOTE: The traditional form of haiku in English consists of a pattern of 5, 7, and 5 sound units. A composition of 3, 5, 3 challenges the verbose to strictly confine their thoughts.
