   “Too proud to complain”

   Not my grandma! I remember sitting in her kitchen as a child, when when Whitey, one of her long-time friends came to the door. “How ya doin’, Ann?” he boomed. Immediately my grandmother launched into a long litany of woes, mostly involving aches and pains. Nope, she wasn’t too proud to complain!

     Ida,
     I would slightly edit your haiku:

     Extraordinaire
     Ida: Blend of bold,
     pride and humility

   “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall”. Proverbs 16:18
   That was my first thought when I saw the prompt.
   My pride in Haiku is still waiting to come out…
   you said a lot that hit home…
   thanks,
   Pride certainly has ruled my life…
   Thanks for the eye opener.
   Peace
   Siggi

   I loved this set – it is a meditation on humility and independence too. I was very moved by the verse ‘what was, is a pile of dead bones, and my soul.’

   I love all of these. Pride can show courage as well. It is not always foolish.

    Wonderfully tender and open, I just posted mine and came back here. There’s no blood in mine, just a couple of tears. We really are related. Talk about PRIDE, Love, as always, Peachy Keen Jr.

      I think there is more admirable humility in these than pride!
