Karen of Baking in a Tornado has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month - may we hope for more!
SpikesBestMate often publishes a nice verse in the comments.
Jenny at Procrastinating Donkey who has been a faithful participant, is slowly returning to blogging after her husband's passing from this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of prayers her way. And dare we hope that she will join Poetry Monday again.

This Mondays topic is Defy superstition. Again I have not much to say. I don't do superstition. But a wannabe-haiku I could manage.
Stars, fates or fortunes?
All those are swept away by
Baptismal waters

Haiku are beyond me (I find them too intimidating to even try). Congratulations on yours.
SvarSletSome superstition are based on practicality (I don't do under ladders and would hate to break a mirror). The others I let go by... And have not been baptised.
Luckily common sense exists, although it's not as common as its name leads us to believe :D Not walking under ladders is really a sound piece of advice! But many of those other are pure BS if you ask me.
SletMy haiku are of the "soft" kind. Real haiku expert would ... whatever haiku people do to express their disapproval. But I think it's fun to try.
I found your haiku quite profound and so true. I was able to sweep away the cult and brainwashing, but it took me a while.

Thank you. Cults and brainwashing are hard to shake, the fear and self-doubt lingers for so long. I'm happy that you escaped.
SletOhmygoodness, yes! Perfect!
SvarSletThank you.
SletWell said. It doesn't matter what kind of baptism in this case, with the usual kind or a baptism of education, it can sweep away the superstitions.
SvarSletThanks. Baptism comes in many forms.
SletI don't have superstitions. I do read the horoscope in the newspaper everyday, just so I can wonder what they were thinking when they wrote it and how many people does this apply to, since it clearly does not apply to me.
SvarSletHehe, yes that's quite funny to read. We always laugh at hubby's It's always the worst match ever.
