Hey, Samantha
There is something inherently ethereal about haikus, as well as the amount of thought required to express something significant in such a small number of words. Your poem shows how a profound and perceptive idea may be conveyed subtly yet concretely. "Hide behind my shaky teeth" does an amazing job of capturing the sensations of fear, horror, and anxiety that come from both past memories and having to deal with them on a daily basis. How do you cope with such memories? Excellent post.
