Haiku

I experimented with a Haiku at today's Saturday Morning Writers' for the second time in my life. In 10 minutes we had to come up with a Haiku of our choice. Essentially, free-writing Haiku, if you could call it that!

This is my finished product:

Hand on her heart now

She cries to herself slowly

It's for the better.

Broken dreams surround

Her love is for sale tonight

Child of cruel fate

It's no big mystery, the Haiku is about a sex worker. I had a really difficult time writing, especially since Haikus follow such a tight structure. Practice makes perfect I suppose!
