Easy to lash out

Than to hold back and calm down

Look within for peace

Profound.
We need to tell this to ourselves every now and then.
Interesting title too.

I noticed that the syllable count wasn't an exact 5-7-5, like a Haiku traditionally is. May I suggest this �

Easy to lash out

Than to hold back and calm down,

To find peace within

i am glad to also see the graphics accompany your words, and what a truth found, because isn't it
purely human nature to react before looking within for peace, reading this leaves the reader
with a sense of added knowledge, by defining what self control is, and reiterating what people should already know, but mostly gets overlooks, beautifully done, i don't know the specifics
on haiku, I'm sure you captured the design in perfect light, such words shine with understanding

So few words and yet so impactful. Lashing out comes so naturally. Holding back takes more effort and self control, and yet yields the fruit of peace. Very well done...

Not familiar with Haiku at all, so I only comment on what I read. The picture along with the words shows the power of combining arts. Profound. Rain..

An excellent message. It is so easy to lash out when you are hurt. But, usually this just sets you backwards when you should be moving forwards.

Excellent write.

I guess this is a Haiku? It certainly appears to be, I am not familiar with the genre, but I admire those who can master it and you certainly conveyed a deep message using few words...
Cheers,
Helen :-)
