I don't want to blow my own trumpet. At present, though, the haiku that made "Haiku of the Moment" happens to be one of mine. BUT, it is what my site and life are about.

There are several haiku about fear and abuse in Haiku Alley. From several authors. They mayhave no "artistic merit" or huge merit, but the thoughts are worth seeing.

That does not say that the others are not. It is just that my thoughts are there at the moment.

But, that is also allowed.

We all of us need occasionally to share our successes, no matter how trivial they may seem to others, with someone.

And what better place to do that, than here amngst the fellowship of your friends.

I should have added Tim, that of all of the Haiku you have authored and submitted to Haiku Alley, the one now selected and displayed as being the current Haiku of the Moment (which begins with the line "The camera rolls") simply just has to be my personal favourite.

You have supremely captured the essence (and as God is my witness, I state before the whole world, I have not intended there to be any pun in my choice of my wording here) of what is, although it need not be and is not always, often an unwilling enterprise.
