My friend fell / into the abyss and / climbed back out.

Twoku (original version):
My friend jumped / into the abyss then / climbed back out.

“Haikumages” are short poems (mostly haiku and senryu-style) combined with images (mostly original photographs and graphics) by Russ Murray.

  1. This haiku and photo really captures despair — I am so glad for the “climbed back out”. Applies to so many of us.

      Yes…did not want it to end badly…but it’s based on a true story of someone I know who attempted suicide, but was not “successful” and is now rebuilding his life!
