In the blacked out sun
Lies the mystery of God
And why we punch walls

I really liked this poem! I'm usually not swept away by any haikus, but this was so interestingly worded that it really caught my attention. Very well done with this, in its truthfulness.

Hey! You're right, I'm Angie. Nice to meet another J7X member. :)

 

I actually understand it. :) It makes you wonder what the meaning is after you finish reading it. I like how it leaves you wondering, amazing job!
