Bad word best not to
provoke its presence it brings
bad consequences

Hot air fluttering
Tension build up moving fast
Sane thinking flustered

Tempers on thin ice
Just waiting to trigger off
No mood to be nice

But confrontation
in bold healthy arguments 
can create grand results

Written for Chev's CARPE DIEM #256 with prompt - confrontation

  7. I prefer discussion to confrontation but it does exist and it is uncomfortable and sometimes feels unsafe to me. Tension building...which you captured in your haiku.

  8. I guess it reduces the miscommunication..
    the thing which can have disastrous results

  9. I love the photo...perfect.
    And enjoyed your haiku.
    I had to be taught about confrontation and found a marvelous workshop that helped me resolve my inability to confront many people. I know that your last set of haiku
    " But confrontation

    can be true.
