For Better or Verse. The idea behind these came from an extract of a book featured in The Readers Digest. The concept, although simple, is much harder than it first appears. Take a classic book or play and sum it up in a Haiku. The Haiku rules are as follows:

Letting Go. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The heart is capable of many emotions, love, envy, fear, and hatred. They line up like soldiers in a row, waiting to be knocked down by fate, circumstance but rarely to be given up voluntarily. We are, after all, basically selfish unless we are saints and who can aspire to sainthood without the darkness of the soul interrupting us? So we mask our desires with worn-out sayings. "Its better to have loved and lost than never loved at all. Bullshit.
