When I think of loyalty only one particular song comes to mind: Stand By Me by Ben E. King! It’s a place to start with the concept of being loyal by expressing love through every trial life may lay before us. Loyalty may seem simple but it’s antithesis is betrayal, therefore, you cannot consider one without the other.
To be loyal is to be aligned with or faithful to something like a set of beliefs and codes or to someone we love through devotion and faithfulness which is not compelled by any other means than one’s own heart.
With 3 lines — 17 moras, in classic haiku form, convey your perspective on what loyalty and being loyal has meant to you and those you love.
Using the classic poetic form of haiku, share with us your experience with loyalty. Please submit your best unmetered draft for us to review and have fun!
