chronicling my quarter life crisis
Oh yes, well done. Does the wire protect or harm the heart.
Barb wire to protect your love … nice take on fence Bjorn.
I like your metaphor in this haiku of yours.
We protect our own loneliness with wires surround us, and protecting us away from evil. am I right or wrong on that interpretation?
I love this piece from yours. 🙂
Charlie.. yes that was my thought.. but in many haiku the sparseness of the words can allow the reader to include himself in the poem..
Indeed, you are so right!
Absent Fence Post
Like so many of your poems, this one explores the prompt with wonderful insight! 🙂
Your words took my breath away. Such deep thoughts didn’t come to mind with fences. Beautiful take.
You say so much with so few words!
that was absolutely beautiful and true (so sad) but true.
it touched my heart.
I’ve been on both sides of those barbs…
Oh Bojrn,this is phenomenal!
you have been on the sad side of the fence lately. Poignant Bjorn
Almost physically felt, not just mentally. A ‘real’ haiku,to think about. Thanks so much for comments, am catching up.
Same here.. but at OLN still… 🙂
Protectively secure and none to mess with them. Nicely Bjorn!

Profound words, Bjorn
Intriguing…very nicely done,Bjorn!
This is intense I can feel the words protecting that heart is important..Gee Bjorn you are starting to be one of my favorites to read..you are very insightful in so many ways.
Another excellent choice of words… 😉
Eliz
