The week’s prompt from Haiku Heights is Pride. Please, find below my offering.
Pride
I flaunt my power Before meek quaking subjects I am that I am Copyright © Celestine Nudanu 4/2/13+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I appreciate your patience with me as I catch up on your blogs. Thanks a million! Shalom
Nice
Thanks, dear
lovely!!
Many thanks, Len
That last line reminds me of what God told Moses to call him on their first meeting. Very cool
Chantel, I actually was thinking of that when I wrote the Haiku. I thought using it here might lend the haiku the real ‘pride’ label.
Thanks, as always.
Very well said.
Thanks a million, Kim
Really, You’re what you are! Cute lil peom, here!
Thank you, Charles.
I like it
Thanks, Nana.
Oooo! Nice one!
Thank you, Susan
I notice we both used the word ‘power’ in our haiku this week
Yes! Two great minds on the same wavelength
Those that flaunt power enough to make their subjects quake…. need to be overthrown!! Power corrupts!
Absolutely, Wabi.
Lovely yet powerful.
Thank you, Anthony.
Sounds like yahweh
Yes, but minus the arrogance
I can’t imagine you doing that at all!
You’re right, Gilly.
This is about someone I know.
I love this one. I used to work for him many years ago. Good job again.:-)
Glad you quit working for him.
There’s humour there also- gave me a smile!
Happy for that smile. And you did notice the humour bit
Powerful & humble
Thank you, Rosie.
It is only weaklings that flaunt before meek…Oozing with pride indeed!!
Thankyou for commenting, Reshma. I’m grateful
This too reminds me of God’s great powers. Nicely written.
It does in a way.
Thanks for coming by. 
This is great imagination. Lovely.
Thank you so much, DS
I am that I am. Pride does endow you with certain power. I could feel it in your haiku!
Oh Meenakshi, I just assumed an arrogant persona for this haiku. It is not me at all. Though I know someone who is just like this character
Fantastic take on the haiku… As always you bring power to the interpretation.

Thank you, Eliz
That last line is straight out of the Bible, isn’t it?
No Pride of Lions
You are right, MMT
goood one celestine!
Thanks, Trisha
