My Daily #Haiku (9/11/18)

9/11/18: surrender

9/11 …

we surrender only

to griefโ€”and hope

#haiku #micropoetry #poetry

#NeverForget

UPDATE: for dVerse Poets’ Tuesday Poetics–On a Loop (pubtended by Amaya)

She asks us to revise a post from a year ago. By happy accident, I did just that with another 9/11-themed haiku this year!

    Knowing when to surrender is the trick, this haiku is a effective guide to that question. Perfect Frank.
