dormant volcano –
my father’s anger
waiting to erupt

Poetry & writing to me 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.
That’s the way I sometimes felt about my father, then I became a father and understood more about him. Good comparison in haiku.

Well, mine does have a temper on him. Thanks, Lee.
Nicely done. A lot of people tried the “emotion” angle with this haiku prompt, but I think you may have handled it best. There is a lot of tension in the waiting.
Wow…concise and to the point…love it…perfection for the situation.
Peace

Thank you, Siggi.
Thanks, Karin.
I like the use of emotions in this.
Thanks, Sara.
Leo, No problem with WP for comments, but I can never link back to my poem from this site. Any ideas?
Usually works fine if u leave a link… Dunno why you’re having problems, Sara.
My advice – Stay away till he cools down!! Seething lava could burn!!
Yes it could indeed, Nanka.
