I imagine if a serial killer would write haikus, they couldn't write better than this one. :O
Perfect for the spooky season
Super dark. Gave me serial killer vibes.

Terror!
To me cutting is not the answer to anything. This is a great haiku that could maybe start many a conversation in a therapy group that deals with this idea. Good job.
This popped up in my head when I was writing earlier. I am so glad you put it into words. That way I don't feel so alone. But when you think about it, it's so...sick it scares you. That cutting could uplift someone. That you have to reach where it hurts so that our screams could make us sing loud enough to be recognised. Love the association here. Knives like drum sticks. Very creative and pulls the point right out of the screen. Tangible enough to see the damage. Fantastic work Bill 🤗❤️
This one is dark but powerful! The rhythm of the last line really does sound like drumsticks—it’s visceral and sticks with you. ✨
Hard-hitting! Perfectly horrible!
Awesome work Bill! So Chilling
