to the light I rode
dodging a small dead possum
no one cared about
no one cared

Why don’t people care about these creatures? For the very first time I just missed hitting one on the road the other night. I don’t think I could have forgiven myself If I hadn’t driven around it.
I don’t know. And I was hoping this haiku would have implications that went even further than hapless unpopular animals. Not sure how well it succeeded.
This somehow explained what I’m feeling right now….
it is very sad indeed!!!!!!
It’s how I was feeling when I wrote it.
How sad,
Like this,
just sad
good Rob,
peace

It is, but for some reason, I thought I might get some negative feedback on this haiku.
