This week’s Poetry Challenge at Colleen Chesebro’s blog is a free-write. I’ve chosen to write a Haibun coupled with a Haiku.
Colleen’s 2019 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 156, #Poet’sChoice
The insecurities we grow inside are not imagined, rather manufactured by those who use intentional malice to belittle us. These slights and insults play an integral part in slicing a self-esteem and leaving one feeling insignificant.
Leftovers
Last choice for team picks,
Last minute invitations,
Last words that linger.
