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?

Peace Out

I believed them to

be true and tried to show trust—

all that, and I lost.


I walked the world lost,

and the cost was icy frost—

cut cold to the bone


but it seems they cleared

their docket, new toys in their

pocket—shut me out,


gutted like a fish,

served up with fries—oh, the lies,

promised the high pie


and now? The fall guy.

They can get high and lie nigh

while I walk away.
