there, around my neck
choking me in its fat fist
branding me unclean
The curse is in the word, and words like it…not in my being who and what I am.

Charissa's Grace Notes 
Brilliant! I have never attempted a haiku and probably never will. I am too long winded! LOL…You do them beautiful and this is a beautiful example! Once again, amazing!
Thank YOU!! So…I have a whole song cycle that is all in haikus, in 7 clusters…you can find it…here:

and if you search “haiku” it opens up a few others too…one time, I got the best compliment ever, from Dani, who just said “STOP IT, Charissa!!!” lolol
Holy crap!! Literally jumped back at the sight of the bears…
As do I everyday
