Hate is powerful
The cause of much suffering
Love is tenacious

Thank you for reading.
Author's Note - Okay, so technically nothing got posted on the 6th day of the year. However, that was out of my control and besides there was a couple of days I posted more than one piece, so I still feel I'm keeping to my plans for "a post a day".

Hate that hate...but shouldn't I love, instead? Now I'm muddled... Anyway. This is a fantastic little haiku, Paul. Fantastic message, one that I need a reminder of every day, especially while being online so much. You are a light, truly, my friend. I'm sorry if I've been neglecting you. I'm trying to remedy that.
Oh the lovely Haiku. So short and sweet, bringing powerful messages, This was great Paul.
Thanks for writing this Paul. You speak such an important truth in so few words.
Excellent.
Preach!
Oh, nice one, Paul! Very powerful message, indeed.
Beautiful piece. Love that last line.
This was a very powerful Haiku! Very well done!
Love is tenacious! That last line says it all, well done! And don't beat yourself up about missing a day. You did double up already! Life happens :)
So few words that hold do much meaning. Well done Paul.
