"We're our own dragons as well as our own heroes, and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves." Tom Robbins

For what I thought was a date

Love may be golden
Prince Charming at beck and call
More eggs to explore...
This week, the prompt/word is: Rescue
What is a haiku?
As Leo of Haiku Heights aptly explains, a haiku is a three line poem. It shows what the author wants us to understand from it, rather than tell it directly. The limitation to a haiku is seventeen syllables. It can be at maximum, that much. If you wish to go by the traditional Japanese structure even with English haiku, you can use a 5-7-5 syllable, or 3-5-3 syllable structure
"Humor does not rescue us from unhappiness, but enables us to move back from it a little." Mason Cooley

Maybe I wandered too long
