Sensational Haiku Wednesday prompt ~ Stress

Schedules engulf care
Cargo weights tamper with speed
Imminent crisis
Deep frowns engulf life
Pain and stress tamper with smiles
Imminent darkness

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Those electric wires in your photo remind me of my mother's Uncle Everett. I remember seeing him several times as a child and being fascinated by his almost total lack of fingers. Except for his thumbs and one forefinger, he had stumps where the fingers used to be, because as a child, on a dare, he touched some high-powered electric lines and fried off his digits. It's a wonder he wasn't killed!
I congratulate you on being able to incorporate so many disparate prompt words into an intelligible haiku!
See my follow-up post about the situation in my classes: Body English
And thank you, Gemma!
We're both rather 'dark' this week. I suppose the words lead us that way.
You did a great job melding these two memes together in your haiku. I am impressed. Your poems are smooth, coherent and emotional.
Hi Gemma.... its 3ww...love your photo ad haiku
Interesting how the words percolate and create a mood. My thing ended in catastrophe.
very slick working your 3 word Wednesday into the haiku,perfect for thsi week!
Superb...few words packed into a quite dark existence and reality like mine! I guess the prompts call for one, right?
Very good, I could see the words picture on someones face as I read the second one, well done!
Love the way you linked the pic to the first stanza and that to the third.Happy 3WW :)
Imminent darkness... I love the doom that line makes one feel upon reading it. Perfect closing to the previous ones.
Great writing and gorgeous picture.
Happy 3WW. Mine is up as well.
a beautiful combination of both the Haiku. very smartly and well penned!
Beautiful Haikus and loved the pic very much The Cargo ship reminded me of the one I had been on .
Pain and stress tamper with smiles... so much of truth in that.
Excellent Haiku's my friend. :) One can only hope that it doesn't last long so that the smiles return and bring on imminent light :) Have a wonderful Wednesday :)
So well done and the image is perfect.
Wow! That was deep! Good Haiku!
Stress certainly does tamper with smiles - great use of our theme this week! Well done :)
The second is my favorite.
I love the first one!
colours lay bare my soul
