A Man Divided

Using math to describe a feeling within a haiku. Yea, I went there.

A Man Divided

 

 

A man divided

Exponentially fractioned,

Subtracting from life.

Just something I've been feeling of late. This, too, shall pass.

Fascinating on the conundrum side O' things...as a chi kung guy I'm curious...In what way do you find divided and fractioned a subtractive? Enigmatic excellence! A most unique artistic blurb...as in "Is it even a puzzle?"
Perhaps as I read it Haiku style you mean that that is your chosen path in this passing time...to subtract, along with the previous lines... Hmmmm

Wow, I feel really sad after this. I hope it to has passed. Good Haiku though.

This is a cool Haiku. You possess a very unique way of thinking. I love the idea of equating math to real life. Mathematics is the center of universal existence, in my opinion. I enjoyed this very much.

This is a very clever Haiku! Haiku is one of my favorite forms and Maths to me is the poetry of science. Great writing.

A fascinating Haiku, a man divided subtracted from life...serious condition, the fractions are interesting as are your parallels. It's a little sad, but very clever...

I love haiku when done well; they hold so much power in those simple words and syllables.
Wonderful job. :)
