Mercy

Broken by love Rebuilt by fear Still live for God I have never tried to write a haiku until now or not intensionally if I ever have. Im not claiming this one is but rather exploration so any thoughts or opinions would be helpful .Google tells me about rules, but none that Ive read so far have a consistancy to them by number of syllables or words per line.

I remember reading blogs and postings just like these where there were different opinions on what a true Haiku is and so forth so simply just never I just closed the door

Beautiful Haiku, Jesse! In my view it conforms to the rules so far as number of syllables is concerned. Godd work. Keep it up. -Mohammad

Thank you Mohammad. These words I carried for a long time just never thought it to be Haiku until I started broadening my horizon on other forms or ideas for writing.
