sad poetry
The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.

Link to the Challenge: Americanize Authoritarianism? Abominable! * Note: usually, I would put this under my 'Political' series of haiku, but this began as a response to Harper Lewis' 'Bullet to the Face' entry, and I felt I had to share my work...and her own.

The Lantern of Hope
The Lantern of Hope In a small village surrounded by sand dunes and palm trees, there lived a young man named Hassan. Hassan was kind-hearted and generous, yet he carried a heavy sadness in his heart. He believed in Allah, but his faith felt fragile, like a candle in the wind. Life had been hard for him. His father had passed away when he was a child, leaving him to care for his mother and younger sister. Every day he worked in the fields under the scorching sun, returning home exhausted, with little energy to pray or read the Qur’an.
