“Normality is a paved road, but no flowers grow on it.” -Vincent Van Gogh

Incredibly well written. It’s very relatable, haikus are hard to write.

Sometimes, yes, but in the "olden days" it was pronounced 'pome' as it is here, making the count correct. :)

Life isn't measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.

You are only as strong as your weakest link.

Great job!

"My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all."

I like it. =) Mind checking out my work? Thanks!

I like it but you have to many syllables in the 2nd line a haiku is 5 7 5 not 5 8 5 but its still pretty well written.
