POEM STARTER

Submitted by Peyton Headrick

Write a Haiku expressing the paradox of trust, being capable of great beauty and great harm.

How will you use this very short poetic form to portray such a concept?

Echoes Of Pain

[related collection of haikus, mainly just focused on the ā€œtrustā€ thing.]


I hate learning to trust,

the echoes of pain remain.

Iā€™m lost to my mistrust.


Throw a rock at me,

I only hear the echoes.

Why teach me to trust?


I hate learning to trust,

but I was forced to learn.

It hurts, doesnā€™t it?


Iā€™m lost to my mistrust,

I only hear the echoes

of the trust you gave.


The echoes of pain,

build in pain by memory,

echoes that you gave.


I hate learning trust.

The echoes of my pain last,

I canā€™t run away.


I hate learning to trust,

because you threw me away.

You only caused pain.
