Regrets

If I could go back
back in time, back to my past
I would say sorry


Explication:

This is a haiku I wrote about regrets, as the title suggests. I believe the words ring true for everyone who has made a mistake in his/her past. The haiku follows the standard 5-7-5 syllable format.

Regrets fits in with my theme of the transience of youth. Time goes by so very fast and often we wish we could have done things differently in the past.

  1. Nice job Orly! I think everyone can relate to this, because not everyone is perfect, and we all have done things we regret. I like the repetition of the word "back". Good job!

  2. Great haiku! I liked how you explored another aspect your theme, and I also liked how your haiku flows along really well and is a full sentence, as opposed to many other haikus.
