Pool of doubts, near a
Waterfall of negatives
Is self the lifeboat?
Written for
Haiku Heights, #22 – Self
Vinay Leo R.
Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
well done,
cliff, scary place, isn’t it?
let me know after you are done with poets rally visiting..
the pool of doubt is scarier, Ji 🙂

waterfall, love waterfall, yet feel scared of the feeling on top of it…
love the image your words paint.

Yes, I think self is the lifeboat–get in! 🙂

So true!! Only we can rescue ourselves from drowning when we are in denial mode and full of suspicions.
Self Help is the best help!! 🙂
Good One Leo!!

Voice: “Help!! Help!!”
Cap’n: “Ahoy there!! Man overboard!! 😛
Help yourself and swim back to home port.
And no one can do that for you.”
Voice: “Help!! Help!! Self Help!!”

good question…and i think no one else can be the life boat except self…it has to be the one taking us out of the muddle…
yeah.. no one else too I think.. glad u liked it Tweety.. 😀
Your thoughts are so deep just like your words…
Amazing haiku 🙂
thanks very much, Sumit 🙂
Self might be the lifeboat. Maybe even the anchor?
yes, might be the anchor also, Shane.. just hoping we’re not tied to the chain when we drop it 🙂
Bravo! That is one of the “big questions” … nicely done … We must each answer for ourselves, I think, in the privacy of our own hearts.
Thanks, Leo. Good one here.
yeah.. a big question for sure, and yep, we must answer our doubts ourselves.. the others are just a guide I believe 😀 thank you, Jamie.
It might be. 🙂
