Infatuation

V.J. Knutson

Timid starts beget
longevity, peace – beware
infatuation,
whose coals, burning too brightly,
blind and scald its victims.

(Written for Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: peace/love.  I stretched it to a tanka.)

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.
