Tall concrete structures

Man's grand imaginations

Lack small stream's beauty

Ya sure got that right! :-?

   Thanks, Brannon..I was recently at an ornately uncmfortable luxurious hotel in a metro area..large ane ornate enough to have a fake stream including live fish moving through it..it was indeed nice..but it does not match the life you find in a small pool in the rocky road you travel off the beaten path.

Yep! That haiku is a perfect example of the ideas/feelings I try to capture in a lot of my poetry. :teeth:

Off the beaten path

Life swims in shallow pool

Rocks encase, protect

Golden flowers stand

On green swath beside the blue

Where land, water meet

Both of those were terrific, but this one is my favorite:

Love it for several reasons--one of which is that it reminds me of a specific time and place. One spring my family and I went camping up in the Ochoco Mountains and hiked up this little valley. Waaay up the hillside (with wildflowers everywhere) was this this crystal clear pool that was completely breathtaking.

I think it was on the same trip that we wandered up what we thought was an old logging road, and discovered an old coal-miner's shack.

Does that ever bring back memories! :)

There's one other reason (that is a tad more personal) for why I love that haiku, too,. *smile*

Soft and fragile, like my heart,
Also born to fly

Peaks shrouded in clouds

Mountains rise to meet the sky

That bends to greet them

Loves me, loves me not
Windblown flowers, show and tell
Yet have no answers.


In our dreams we are
Whoever we wish to be
I wish to be me.
