Feelings

Unbearable pain,

because you left me.

I Loved it Erin!! You are a talented Haiku writer!   hehe. 5-7-5, guess I should have paid attention...

Branden~This is a haiku, a form of writing that uses 5 syllables in the first line,7 in the second, and 5 in the last. COunt 'em Erin did good. Personally, I don't think she needs to keep trying, you make it sound as if she did bad, she did an excellent job.

Nicely done Erin!!
Love Always

Jessica~~~Look now I am copying off of you with the different colors...Sorry Jello!!!Thanks for your reply...It means alot to me...Im glad you liked it!!!  

Acire~~~Last but not least...Thank you buddy for your reply...I really appreciate it...  

And thanks for the compliment you two!!!

What exactly is a haiku?....what syllabic form is it in? I forgot.

Five in the first line, seven in the second, and five again in the third.  There's a link in my post in Teen Explorer that describes it well.  Everyone should go check it out (you don't mind if I use this post to push the challenge, do you Erin??? )  Once again, I love your poem!

Hey Erin! Sorry I missed this one the first time around!! It's very good... At first I pulled a Branden heheehe I forgot what a haiku was written like!! I loved it though and after my brain thawed and I remembered what a haiku was.... it was wonderful!   Keep it up!

Thanks you guys for the replies.

And Melster I started to like them but after a while I wasnt able to write. I had a horrible case of writers block!

Great job Erin.  Writting in a set format isn't easy.  I think I am going to except Lake's challenge too.  I hope it turns out as good as yours

Erin this was a good try. I think haiku's are great. Next time.....use some symbolism....i'd like to read that from you.
Good one here tho!
