Yes. Anger held to long is madness. Glad to see you back!

I will step lightly
I want to be here for you
(but not upset you…)M.L.

Thanks M.L. – I wish more people were as considerate, and as light of steppers, as you. ;)

anger does leads to madness
(i think if you drop the haiku form for another – it might be stronger read – my thoughts)

UtopianFragments – thanks for the visit and comment. yeah… I think, there’s more to this one… I may have to expand on this.
I actually wrote this… implying that the one who is doing the stomping around is still mad… as in upset… angry… Even though they are trying to pretend they are not.

I think your haikus are spectacular, in the sense that you can be so expressive… which is quite an uphill task in the first place, considering the limitations…

I would like to agree with ‘The Dark Lord’ if I may…?

Well thank you D.L., and M.L.
It’s very kind of you both. =)I wasn’t sure I liked the haiku format… when I’m normally such a wordy person… but, I do like how it condenses things down… strips them down.. and often allows for a more potent message in the process.

‘madness lives here still’–that’s a powerful concept–great poem.

thanks 47WB for the read. Always good to “see” you….

judging by the way I have been writing lately, this poem is reminiscent of the voices in my head. mad as a hater but with moments of extreme lucidity.
-
You always write beautifully… So, maybe, sometimes, being a a mad hatter (or mad hater ;) works for you… ;)

Very nice. I think this would be even better if it were stretched out into a slightly longer, non-haiku poem. Nonetheless, awesome poignancy.
-
and shanks again. guy. =) sometimes, I like the haiku form, for exactly that reason. (it forces me to be short and sweet and make a point, rather than ramble on… like I tend to do naturally…)

this one is nice… it’s deep… the madness born of anger. me likes! =)
