and you hide in shame

Don't you just love doing these 3WW's - in Haiku form!! I enjoy sitting and pondering mine, before committing to blog.

Good way to encourage someone to put things in perspective.
Isn't that the truth? We can't be satisfied with great... we have to be perfect.
What a great message.
And a very succinct haiku!

Oh, this is wonderful! What a strong message you've wrung out of your few words. :)
I like it because it's meaningful.
Great haiku!!
That was superb..will have to try a haiku one of these days.
So true ... and well said!

So compact, so accessible. I love it!
Very good. This says so much in so few words - clever.
I'm not sure what to make of this poem after having read your statement about pride and depair in your poet's plan.
Are you shedding light on the human frailty to put the ego first, even in failure, or perceived failure?
You have really got me to thinking with just 3 lines.
Very nice job! Keep up the good work.

So many others have already said it, but this is really a message we need to think about more. It's always about perspective.
This one made me ponder for a bit, and that's always good.
Very well put...and clever! :~)
I like this!
