to expand my theme
the new you grew corpulent
with syllabic glut
ILx repines
for the old svelte haikunym
trapped inside you
your signature trait
cast aside and trampled on
left us all aghast
the seed of a thought
was planted on that rueful day
"was it all a lie?
stylish austerity
once so close knit to his bones
- a mere cloak shrugged off?"
the shock, the horror
seeped in slowly over time
haikunym murdered
in his place a man
suspiciously like all men
another proser

What is this I read?
That you think you
used to be
loveable to us
And now you believe
You are loveable no more?
What utter nonsense!
Maybe you don't know
how very much you brighten
other people's lives
You are a good man
One with a very kind heart
Who is cared about
Do you think I would
Spend my time writing haiku
for just anyone?
Bad haiku, at that!
Not nearly as good as yours.
You are The Master.
Everyone has times
When things do not go so well
But it will not last
Please hang in there, Matt
The days of fun and laughter
Will return for you
Nothing stays the same
People and circumstances
change, it can't be helped
You have much in life
to be thankful for, I know.
You know it too, mate.
Sometimes it is hard
to accept people love us -
but they do. You're cool.

I liked your answer
(the question I've forgotten)
from Saturday's quiz.
One thing you could change
in the world, I think that's it.
A simple answer.

i thought this was a thread about those black and white war posters (from athena, i think?) that said "why?"
