Shadows
May 19, 2014
Learn to be alone;
Even shadows may leave you,
When it's dark around.

Wonderful haiku! It's really an art to be able to convey such a clear idea in so few syllables. The metaphor is really interesting too!

I need to leave a comment because this poem is so amazing... but I have nothing to really comment about. Lovely, dark, and haunting, all in just 17 syllables.
