Hikkomori - Solitude in Life – Haiku in Four Acts

Me, myself and I
Walking life’s road with myself
My life becomes clear.

People are so noisy
Talk, shout, babble; ads nonstop
I seek my quiet.

I’m solitary
I am satisfied. Alone,
I answer to me.

Do not disturb me.
Contentment follows my choice
Silence is heaven.

I relate to that so much.

[cairistiona]

Me, in a nutshell.

[chasing_silver]

Definitely!

Sometimes quiet is best. That’s me when I first get home from work.

How lovely.

[bleodswean]

Nicely done!

I'm not into haikus, but I found this amazing and the topic extremely relevant. I can't wait to vote for you!

[roina_arwen]

I think your second line here is missing a syllable?

I’m solitary
I’m satisfied. Alone,
I answer to me.

Otherwise, quite lovely!

[muchtooarrogant]

You're so right, people are noisy! :)

I liked the flow of words, the rhythm, in this stanza, "I’m solitary / I am satisfied. Alone, / I answer to me."

Well done!

I love how people are stretching and showing their versatility this prompt.

This is excellent.

I love that you chose the haiku for this prompt. I also relate to the feelings in this poem. I too enjoy being alone.

[gwendraith]

Very lovely - it rather suits me, too.

[pixiebelle]

This feels like a poem written about me!

[xeena]

I honestly wish I was this way. I really dislike being alone lol

[rayaso]

I understand and appreciate solitude, and this was a very clever haiku. I especially like your third stanza. Your last line put me in mind of the old song "Silence is Golden" by the Tremoloes.

[inkstainedfingertips]

This is so very relatable. You have no idea.

[mollywheezy]

I love haiku! Great job!

[murielle]

Ah! A kindred spirit! If only I was better at it.

Thank you for this...mirror!

Beautiful work. ❤❤❤
