There is great purpose
in suffering and man's toil...

even when I feel as if
all is wicked-wrong.

Nice! Good job, although I am old school on haikus - of nature and nature related. True words here, in your haikus!!
Excellent haikus… I sure don’t enjoy suffering, but it does produce perseverance 🧐… loved the image too.
