A glow in my heart
a gentle light carressing
each fibre of me
I am one with him
I feel spirit all around
today I will be set free
No longer bitter
no more fear of yesterday
I am now at peace
I cannot judge them
they were unkind and foolish
I wanted revenge
But today thank God
I know that I was angry
so I let it go
Praise God for wisdom
I feel so much better now
for letting it go
Author notes
Yesterday I was treated rudely and with disrespect. In fact they were nasty. I was so angry for a while, then remembered that as a child of God the greatest victory would be to forgive and move on, not allowing it to effect me. I feel so much better for doing that.

'today I will be set free' - indeed we make our own prison and we also set ourselves free. Very nice, my friend.

sometimes I find it hard to let go
it burns inside me
I try to look in alternate directions
still it follows me
i look back
then ahead
say a little prayer
and hope
its no longer there
trailing me
your ku is a progressive one and a poem
perhaps a new invention?

Thanks sweet Mal Mal for reading
I have been reading a lot about forms recently as I am putting together a book with some friends. During that time I found some interesting variations of what I always believed was the norm. It appears there is no such thing. LOL I tried a stand alone or read as poem idea. Hoping each makes sense in it's own right but can also read as a story. One thing I found interesting was how they did progressive Haiku's eg. 2 words in first line then 3 words in second line etc. I had not seen that before either. The Internet is amazing isn't it? At School it was a simple four liner 17 sylable uppercase or lower case line start. Once you look at all the different wasy they do them, ANYTHING goes LOL pretty much
It was fun and took my mind off the nasty people of the world.

Not sure...love the whole write, but it doesn't seem to be a ku chain of any kind. A haiku, from what I was taught is all lower-case letters, and some are all upper-case. They also don't read like complete sentences such as these either. (Correct me if I'm mistaken) No matter, I enjoyed the read, and thank you for entering.

Letting go is never easy, but I find it to pay dividends ten fold! A great response Jan! You win!

Oh! Anger took a swift kick in the groin! It looks like this might be over . . . Ah! Wait! Is it . . . OH Anger tags Pride and they're back in the game! Well goodness, Pickett sure is taking a pounding now.
You know, I did not see this coming at all. When Pickett delivered that kick, I mean it was solid. A square kick to the groin, Anger came up off the ground and landed flat on its back. Pickett even thought the fight was won, standing on the ropes with arms up. Let's watch the replay . . . There! Arms up! Dancing on the ropes . . . theres pride sneaking in from behind . . . And there it is! A perfect finishing move, Pride, delivering the most perfect "look your head's in your bum" I've ever seen! I don't think theres been anything this good since the one guy bit the other guys ear off. . .
Please be diplomatic if you respond to this comment. I wrote it in the moment off the top of my head and it is precious to me. My feelings are hurt easily and I can't handle it when people say anything that hints at my mental instability or my lack of awesomeness. So again, please, diplomacy. I need you to tell me that I suck in a way that makes me feel good about myself so I can keep doing the same thing I'm doing now. -

OH I Tell you what !!!
I was ready kick more than a groin yesterday. Over a year ago I did an online course. Where if you took the course they sent you a FREE laptop. IT was a sponsored thing by our Government. After starting the course I had an accident and was in hospital and having a leg op. It's left me with a slight limp and daily pain from arthritis that has set in. 2 weeks after THAT op they told me I had breast cancer so back in for another Op and 4 months of radiation etc.
During this time I did the course. painstakingly getting through each module etc. Calling them up to ask about things and sending in each new subject ON TIME etc.
It was very tough as you can imagine. Anyway. The other day I get this letter.
Telling me I didn't finish 2 things in the course and a couple only scored 50% and they wanted the laptop back or $350 from me. Each time I spoke to them during my hellish year, I got a different person. None were polite, they all had attitudes and this time I range and had the same treatment. She didn't give a hoot about my circumstances. It was puter back or $350 final word. Unfriendly in fact unpleasant person. Not interested. Course said if you do it you get a puter. SHE said no only if you get 100% for everything and one of mine was 50% and 2 were 85% so return puter NOW or pay us. !!!! NICE PEOPLE!!!! -
