When we keep secrets, we often find that they haunt us in the middle of the night. I think we all should find a trusted person who will help us by letting us express our secrets.

Your excellent 5-7-5 suite conveys a powerful message about simply keeping our mouths shut! If we tell things we really shouldn't, we can be sure others do the same.

You did a great job, Debra, with your trio of haiku on secrets. Each one could stand alone, but together they make a profound impact. Your topic is well-expressed and so true in what you say. There are many who need to read and believe this.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

I share all my secrets with God because he knows them already. When I confess my secret sins to Him, they're not dirty anymore but cleansed now. I understand this poetry though and the heavy weight of secret sins that are too much to bear. Sending along my very best for the challenge. You're doing great with this daily event, dear Debra.

Hello, Debra,

Awesome 5/7/5 trio. Good syllables count and connection between lines. The words flow nicely. I like the secrets topic. Clever Satori.

Excellent trio of 5/7/5s. The subject of secrets is something that has a lot of nuance, so I hope you write a few more over the course of your NaPo project.

Great job and an enjoyable read today. :)

Gloria

Compelling and thought-provoking--wise words indeed re keeping secrets to yourself--clever phrase--else they'll "repeat on you." I can relate--and also to the voices!

Keeping a secret can indeed bear heavy on our shoulders, especially if it is a secret that should be shared. Some take secrets to the grave, a poignant write, love Dolly x

you wrote this today. secrets - and the privacy of them. They are a burden, aren't they? and a responsibility.
Very good advice you gave. Your gal in the picture looks, from her position, either unhappy or overwhelmed, or both.
Am about to fall asleep on the keyboard. Talk to you later.

I think we've all got a darker side, and I think those whispering are not only in the head but from other evil sources who want to disrupt and deter one from reaching any sort of potential, well done, blessings Roy
