haiku wednesday - March 12, 2008
This week's words are apartment began numb
money woes began apartment power shut off feet, hands, mind all numb foreclosed--lost the house began apartment hunting soul numb with fatigue caught in apartment numb from naked betrayal it began last year?
i think so often about all of the peoples lives that are consumed in money problems,, facing shut offs foreclosures.. this is the first time in my life since i was 15 years old that i have a home i will not loose to such avarice... i cannot tell you what calm that allows one to feel.....
I really loved them all--how they wove into each other
As I'm selling an apartment in one of the last remaining good areas and planning to buy a townhouse in a down area, I feel a bit as if I'm profiting off others misery
Thanks to all of you for dropping by and commenting.
gautami--thanks for the link Rx! I went and recommented on bone's site.
paisley--I couldn't agree more. Though I don't come from that socioeconomic range, I see it a lot in my dealings with United Way and other groups, and I have come to understand it more and more.
pia--no guilt. the whole point of "buy low, sell high" is to be a better planner than the other guy. if you've ever bought or sold stocks, it's the same thing.
rel--I still like yours better. :-)
leigh, tumblewords, laane, and UL--thanks for your kind words!
tc--too late to read yours tonight, but I hope to on Thursday.

I like. As I am moving house, the second one struck home..if you know what I mean.

A nice progression, and I think you had more in your head too. ;)

Why do I suddenly feel poor? Great use of the words. Timely to the country's woes.
ReplyDeletegreat haikus - always amusing, always an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI like these. Your previous one about the toad was funny also.
ReplyDeleteLoved them all..but especially the second. You do this so well, seems so effortless and they all seem to blend together, one falling into the other.

ReplyDeleteYou have captured the current state of so many people in your phrase:
ReplyDelete"soul numb with fatigue"
A shame it came to this, whether by their personal mismanagement or misleading business practices - or both.
