overwhelmed by emotions

misgivings of a
broken heart was it for real
wretched morose like?

not to negotiate
overwhelmed by emotions
starved of good reasons

vicious warped feelings
wickedly drained but the strong
would remain triumphant

Chev's Carpe Diem #1181-  broken heart

  1. Some emotions can be overwhelming I agree Hank.
    Best not to get them out of proportion.
    A great write.

  3. emotions can blow us out of our own water but perhaps as we age we see a way to embrace them more?

  5. Nice nesting of Haiku/Senryū, Hank.
    I like your ending,
    "the strong would remain triumphant"
    I.e, 'tough but be strong and survive the ordeal.'
