I write this poem to,
Those who hide in the shadows,
And cover their eyes.

Not to brave souls who,
Choose to stand up and fight but,
To anonymous.

Best thing I have ever read. I really love how you point out the efforts of the people that never get talked about. This seriously an amazing piece of work. I think, if you wanted to, considering your talent, you could make this a novelization really easily.

This poem is easy to relate with and very strong. I really like how it's so short but says everything.

I like how, without offering any advice or inspiration, you give hope to those anonymous, that one day their title may change.

This a very powerful poem. I like that you didn't just do basic three line haiku. You kept going with it. Excellent work.

I second that! I would love if all haikus were as good as this one. P.S. Could you comment on my haiku, Footprints, please. You would be helping an aspiring writer.

To anyone saying line one has six syllables, poem can be pronounced as one syllable (said like pome instead of po-em).

 

Fantastic haiku. Absolutely loved it :)

Thank you for explaining this. I didn't know it could be pronounced like that until I started reading the comments this poem got. Beautiful work by the way.

This is beautiful, just what a haiku should be, but then again, I'm not an ancient Japanese scholar ;)

Thank you for writing this.

Hey! I really liked this haiku a lot. I think it stands out to those who tend to keep to the crowd and go with the flow. I think, in my opinion, it is a wake up call to all those voices we have yet to hear!
