a quirky question –
could it be of any use?
writing poetry
~~~
regret, guilt, useless
both purveyors of darkness
plunderers of life
~~~
cold and lifeless
shorn of beauty, shorn of fame
just a useless shell
~~~
is not so useless
the maggots think, fattening
turning death to life
~~~
Just Joyfulness 
Fantastic set! Love the first – here’s a response haiku:
