Haiku And The Horse You Rode In On
Animals kept in a zoo
Books locked in a library
Me with you

by Annie for a friend in pain
I wrote this eons ago for a friend who was going through a divorce. It was written from her perspective. She kept a copy of it above her desk at work and read it aloud when she had to muster courage to face the next fifteen minutes of life. She subsequently remarried, has a happy family and cannot even remember what's his face.
Yes, yes, I know. My haiku doesn't follow the 5/7/5 haiku rule but few written in English do. It breaks a lot of other rules too. However, my friend said that these words helped her through a tough time.
