Broken heart exposed

Pain, anger, sadness cry out 

Love is here, waiting.

Haiku is an unrhymed poetic form consisting of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, respectively. The haiku first emerged in Japanese literature during the 17th century as a terse reaction to elaborate poetic traditions. However, it did not become known by the name haiku until the 19th century. – Debora Buerk, Editor.
