LIBERATION HAIKU:
I'm an acolyte
Sitting at the feet of
Haiku Dave, my guru
He taught me seventeen
Syllables: inspiration
Through discipline
Inspiration:
The wellspring is pain
Gushing shards of glinting quartz
Mocking my thirsty heart
Syncopation:
I find myself thinking
In syllables, counting out
The beats of life
I'm an acolyte
Sitting at the feet of
Haiku Dave, my guru
He taught me seventeen
Syllables: inspiration
Through discipline
Inspiration:
The wellspring is pain
Gushing shards of glinting quartz
Mocking my thirsty heart
Syncopation:
I find myself thinking
In syllables, counting out
The beats of life
