Night sits on my chest
Squeezes poems out of me
And grinds my poor soul

nice Haiku it inspired me to write this
Inside rushing thought
a poem begs to touch a page
And there visions shine.

And there visions shine
with gratitude for Ammar
 a grand poet who sings

Absolutely brilliant. The mind of a poet is definitely a maze that must be crossed for the ideas to pour out

Folks on this site need to look into the six principles of haiku: kire, kigo, sabi, wabi, yugen and karumi...

Dear Ammar, I pray "Night" is replaced by a BELOVEDz...

satoemilia

the imagery in this is amazing, concise yet so powerful

Bet_poet44

nice, but the second line should be 7 syllables and it's only 6 (from my count) keep going!!!

Sometimes it's hard to express ourselves. So it "grinds" us, but once that wall is torn down it's easier to write more freely. Well expressed! Keep penning!

Night, constriction, is your fuel..Perhaps you become the Observer of the night, and you are set Free...

ShallowSky

goodness, I can relate, but I do see night as a bit more gentle. Perhaps you should file for assault :)

I absolutely love the words but also that you stayed true to the form and guidelines of a Haiku
