Concise and impactful. This one's a great microproem. Thanks for sharing this, Edward!

Ohh, I kinda like the mystery behind this one. Is it a contrast between cold and warm breath? Is it two people hugging each other to keep warm as they shiver from the cold? Or is it two wolves howling in unison, as if they were a single entity?

Lovely haiku, Thomas. Thanks for sharing!

Damn. This one is heavy. I grew up in a violent and dysfunctional household, too, so I can relate to what the poem is conveying.

To anyone who had to grow up in the situation, I pray for your healing and I just want you to know that you're not alone.

Thanks for sharing this, David. Take care!

Beautiful photo and beautiful message you have with the poem, too. It's like an added point to the old saying, "United We Stand, Divided We Fall."

Thanks for sharing this one!

Concise, beautiful, and impactful. This one reads, at least to me, as if mother nature is telling us that no matter what we do, she will always just waltz into our lives when we least expect it.

Thanks for sharing this one!

Ah, yes. That's the same thing my cat said when I found her wrapped on some toilet as if she was a mummy hahaha.

I don't want that to happen, though.
So I'll just go in my tomb,
Snuff the lights out
and blackout
the window,
And pretend I'm in a cold and dark a womb.

But the wick might be burning out,
And I may not be John Wick, but damn it,
If I don't subtly vent these gun powders out,
I might use my fists to hit,
and get hit,
from wilding the fuck out;
Drunk on fire and brimstone,
Fueled by rage,
Spiced up by frustration,
And ready to blow up like a bomb.

I have been sewing my mouth
Over and over to stop my frustrations
From clawing their way out
'Cause they'll bring with them destruction.

I have been drowning myself
In ice baths, hoping the cold
Can quell this bomb I've buried and delved
Deep within me so it wouldn't explode.

Fire and Brimstone

I have been bottling up
Fire and brimstone for
Years; I've filled my cup
With magma burning from the core.

I have been swallowing anger
And just letting it simmer
In my belly until they boil
My blood and rage is cooked from the broil.

Still learning how to do this every day. It's not easy, but I'm not about to give up on myself. I owe myself at least this much for all the years I've abused me.

This one hit home for me. Thanks for sharing this!

A love that feels like you're transcending time itself whenever you're in close proximity with your lover. Love can truly be a powerful thing.

To stand your ground amidst whatever life throws at you as an artist is admirable. This one reads like a sort of battle cry to me, and not gonna lie, it's effective.

Freezing from fear is very human. But overcoming fears is always one of the things tha5y make us human.

True. We're often too caught up with what are considered to be a quick healing without any emphasis on the process that we thought to be the right way.
