The Cave Part 6
If you have ever heard a tale about yourself that you cannot remember and doubtless think is made up, you will know how I felt when Tharkin related all that the eagle had seen of me before my memories were scattered. Of far distances and traveling companions that I did not recall, camping out under the stars and making our way to the mountains with deliberate purpose. The great bird had lost contact with my party once we entered the forests, and the seven other members were not seen again by him or his brethren since.

Haha! I know this feeling!
Interesting poem. I say laugh if the joke is funny to you!!! 🤣🤣😜
Very nice!
Yes, laugh it off! Someone once said I have a morbid sense of humor because of some of the things I laugh at. Whatever. They don't get it, lol. Nicely done, Tiffa!
I agree it depends upon the context, delivery and person and if it’s even funny to begin with. Hmm. ☺️👍
Life's too serious not to laugh sometimes. Of course, it depends really on the joke...
I’d laugh. If you have to stop and think then it’s politics not poetry. Great thought provoking haiku and I must try one/some myself so thanks for the inspiration too.
LAUGH!
Oh, wow! I know that moment. If it's standup, yeah, laugh!! 💜
I say, yes...you should laugh. We are far too serious these days (Ii know there can be moments not to, as well...) But for the sake of the haiku...laugh baby
I love some dark humor… but past a certain point guilty laughs actually hurt.
Oh yes babe you need to laugh 😊😜😝🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
If it's funny, yes, remember others my not be that intelligent to understand 😁
Ah, the socially awkward situation. If it has the potential to hurt or insult those who are not present in the audience, I generally don’t laugh. I believe you should be able to say it to their face. Excellent haiku, Tiffany.
Love it 😀 ❤️
This one made me smile. 🙂🤗🌸💕
Hahahahahahhahaha you should!
