Shattered (Haiku) by Aetius
Sharp-edged glass fragments: There are things one should not touch ... Like broken friendships.

Up the ladder: Unbroken Horses
Down the ladder: Mavis Beacon, Human.

Wooooah. Dig it, man. Dig it. This is the first Haiku I've ever read in my life...that I actually liked. 10 for me.

Excellent, but I don't think punctuation improves on haikus. Meaningful and thought provoking, friends are such rare and fragile things.

I agree that the punctuation is not needed.

Haikus are supposed to be 5-7-5, thus the "There are" in line 2. But those words are so trite here that I'd omit them. Otherwise good.
