Haiku Monday - Survival

.
.
As I said, I won't be competing.  But I will still list who is up with what, and maybe write haiku on the topics for my own reasons.  Serendipity is up, with the theme and rules.  I am hoping by linking I won't... somehow become visible, or accessible.  Or I will just do this more quietly.

I do like the theme.  But I am not sure.  I wrote a couple, and almost posted them, but they have been lost.  The last two themes have been difficult.  And I am so blue-collar, as a poet.  I use small words, play fast and loose with the rules, and... yeah.  Then again, I think some people are wrong in how they count syllables.  Though, too, a Brit, Boer, Kiwi, or other, might have different pronunciations, or even counts.  Or my dictionaries are wrong?  People from another generation, or several generations back from me, have... a different take on grammar too.  Combine a few of those things and you get what we got here recently.  Anyway...

I'm thinking... this is a difficult theme.

Sometimes

death is a device ~

with will - as have the living

which is stronger?  choice

Alone in the Wilds

arm stuck under boulder

pocket knife, no help, mean split

sweat, blood, loss, but life

My life

not hungry, must eat

don't want meds, must take, no choice

every day struggles
