A haiku in form, but not in spirit. More of a motto I suppose. The agenda of Another always appears To take precedence. |

Written by jean.day (2369 comments posted) 26th February 2007 | It's good. I like it. I have never tried to write a Haiku.
But in a way it sounds kind of bitter. |
Written by ellipinnock (1790 comments posted) 26th February 2007 | Jean's right - it does sound bitter - not sure whether that was what you intended. Not a haiku in spirit but thought-provoking nonetheless.
As an aside - I would always have said 'take precedence' - was under the impression that you only used 'precedent' when talking about legal whatsits. Am I being daft? Godammit, where's witzl when you need her!
Cheers,

I would go so far as to say that the agendas of others often "do" take precedence. In a strong V weak, rich V poor world, it has always been thus.
Resigned realism. Nothing wrong with that, so long as it doesn't turn into depression.

But as a mother, with small children, you are absolutely right because the agendas of the little others always seem to take precedence.! | My life

Yeah, this does lay a truth out.
