my mouth can barely
contain the anger rising
poked rattlesnake
Sometimes it is really really hard to keep your mouth shut. Especially when you know you are right. But pouring negativity into someone’s life is never a good thing. Also, I couldn’t find a picture of a rattlesnake so you get one of this flower instead.
Don’t forget – Bloglovin’ is having a contest during the month of August. The three bloggers who gain the most new followers during August will be featured on both the Bloglovin’ site and blog! Please help me out by following Failing at Haiku on their site.
Very true. I have trouble keeping my mouth shut too.
Also, I like the flower pic.

Oh, very very very good haiku, and one that seems especially fitting when I read Facebook… I breathe deep and click away.

Ahh, anger, my old friend. Your haiku does a good job expressing it, even without a rattlesnake picture. grin

Thanks Traci! I am also frustrated at Facebook not showing my posts to anyone; but I do have a few readers who click over every week so I am keeping my page too.
