Hannah Spencer Poet Haiku

To the Quiet Ones

Surrounded by laughter, you
sit forgotten on your throne -
King of the Invisible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(To the quiet ones who always sit alone in the back of the classroom.)

A/N: Wrote this one years ago and I know it does not fit the 5-7-5 structure, but till this day it remains my favorite haiku :)

Beata Agustin December 13, 2025 at 5:08 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
