abuseI really liked the idea behind this, and you've spun it in a cleverly unique way... BUT, to be honest, it didn't flow very well (IMO!) and it feels like it has been forced into the haiku format... if that makes sense.

abuseI'm going to be blunt and honest here. I didn't enjoy this at all purely because this didn't read like a haiku, it read like a seventeen syllable sentences conveniently broken up into 5-7-5 syllables. That is not a haiku.

Each line of a haiku should make sense on it's own but make more sense when put together. Sort of like you're revealing each line in order to create a bigger picture. I'm not really sure this is making sense but I hope you understand what I mean. Basically, a haiku is *not* a seventeen syllable sentence conveniently split into three lines.

This would otherwise be an interesting intro to a much larger poem but as it stands, to me, this isn't really a whole poem. Just a singular sentence.
