USELESS HAIKU
Each person and thing
has its own purpose and place
nothing is useless
Things are not useless
just because they don't serve me
right here and right now
--------------------
When it comes to you
talking seems impossible
words almost useless
---------------------
The bus driver said
his handle was Rubber Nail
because it's useless
---------------------
When we give flowers
we give something so useless
- except to show love
--------------------
Effort is useless
That can be a shameful thought
or a holy one
-------------------
Guilt can be useless
when we carry it around
It's meant to change us
------------------
The strong desire
to be considered normal
can be quite useless
--------------------
Always remember
some notice only if you're
not useless to them
--------------------
Sometimes asking for
advice from others can help
Sometimes it's useless
--------------------
Keats and Costello
disagree about beauty-
uselss or the truth
--------------------
Trying not to write
like not breathing or thinking-
for me it's useless
--------------------
Internet debates
are among the most useless
of useless debates
--------------------
Extroverts vomit
muting thought out comments of
useful introverts
-------------------
People are like salt
useless in isolation-
good with something else
--------------------
Words can be useless,
even "sorry" and "love you."
Actions are useful.

Funny!
Thank you all for the feedback, it means a lot to me.
You might write an "useful" series to compliment these! Really like the many messages you've gleaned from one prompt
A nice cascade of Haiku.
