unasked question:
like a broken glass-shard
tough token to mend

Cool!
That second stanza is so true!
cheated out
Assumptions -- you sure nailed them.
So sad. Those unasked questions are... in reality, so tough to force out, which is why they remain unasked.
strong haiku - nice work
i find there is nothing to be lost by asking... and i am forced to wonder why then sometimes it is so hard to do it.....
It's just a good job that life is a mystery wrapped in a mystery, ad infinitum.
Because we demand answers. That's what makes us human
Hi UL!
I loved how you worked all three in one haiku. You nailed assumptions perfectly!
Very wise. I used to tell my students, "The only silly question is the one you didn't ask."
Beautiful image too.
The unasked and imagined are always assumed to be the worst
Got me thinking!
UL,
For the sake of the unasked question a love was lost. This is also the theme of my 3WW piece. ;)

enjoyed the reflection... thought provoking...
Hi UL. I really love this, and seeing how the "idea" is applied in life.
Sometimes, we don't ask the question. Sometimes, we don't want to ask the question.
... You've got me thinking...
Great.
Something for you on my post at http://spillay.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/and-the-award-goes-to/
That word "trial" ~ last word in the last line ~ comes out swinging!

If you don't want to hear the answer, don't ask the question. Some of the worst advice of all time. The unpredictable trial may be painful, but it is almost always necessary.
Well said. In my case, I wind up regretting more the things I didn't say or do than those I did.
