3WW (Occur, Ragged, Tidy): Haiku

I return not with a bang but a whimper. Still, I return...

When these things occur
Life’s most tidy perfections
Run themselves ragged

Not only occur, but recur.

I certainly hear no whimper in this. Loved it. Welcome back.

I loved this tidy little haiku--no ragged edges occurring here.

Don't know why I have music on my mind but your haiku triggers, "Everything Falls Apart" by Dog's Eye View playing in my head. Nice haiku!

Dee Martin said...

anything in this world that thinks of itself as a tidy imperfection SHOULD run itself ragged. Loved it.

Welcome back!
Perfection is never truly desired, but too often sot. Well stated.

Loved it! I agree with Jay that this haiku inspires musical musings (and a bit of alliteration).
