the waves of the world
toss and throw our life about
riders on the storm
I began with a longer poem but created a haiku about the favored second stanza in the comments.
Nice life lessons ~ We do learn from our mistakes and hopefully make good choices in love & life ~
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend ~
Thank you for visiting. Happy weekend to you too!
DeleteThat second stanza is my favorite! The waves of life do throw us this way and that at times!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robyn. Yes, I've felt that way a few times. Appreciate the visit and comments!
DeleteI agree the second stanza rocks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam. I should have done the haiku ;-O Or just done that second verse as a stand alone with different last line. Still learning this poetry/prose thing.
DeleteI relate to the "waves of the world stanza".......I enjoyed your poem!
ReplyDeleteVery well done and the picture really goes well with the poem--sort of a creation all together.
ReplyDelete"but it's not always sane" - Ha! We always think our own family's mad. Until we meet someone elses!
ReplyDeleteSo much truth in such few words. The world definitely sends waves over us..Thank you so much for participating in the challenge!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susie. I enjoyed the challenge!
DeleteI prefer the distilled. Either you get it right or you don't. You got a right, girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, LaTonya! Was nervous about the change.
DeleteThis is really good. So much said here. Nice how you made the tit;e line so powerful.
ReplyDeleteYes, they do! Nice and short, but packed with meaning.
ReplyDeleteThis haiku is perfect .... complexity seemingly simple, but not.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Helen! Had to tweak the third line from original long poem. A bit agonizing. lol
DeleteThank you to all who visited and commented. I wish I could do individual responses to all. Love this community!
ReplyDeleteWaves--such a great metaphor for our less than perfect storm life!
