I was thinking about writing an haiku, but they are suppose to be about nature...and that wasn't really what I had in mind...so I thought I could get away with it anyway by classifying it as human 'nature'...while doing a bit of research, though, I stumbled across something that more closely defines my intent...it is called a senryu...but I don't believe the satirical or ironic aspect needed is present...well, here goes anyway...
Emotional Abuse
His even keyed words
left a scar no one could see
till death's shot took him
To Boast or Too Boast
She sang her own praise
well-founded and well-beaten
they stopped listening
Compliment--Twisted by Depression
Such sweet precious words
brought forth a smile to her lips
no one saw her pain
Nice rmp!Loved how you played with the words and as you have mentioned its written on dark ironic side related to the psychological side of senryu.
