Good write..Haiku has only been tried once by myself and I'm still on shaky ground with that one..so this is a wonderful example that works beautifully.

to you. .. glad you are surviving and hoping for ease of
burdens more and more every day. :)

Beautifully expressed ~

A natural meditative resonance. Where you stand shows how water is stronger than rock. Fluid and consistent the spray baptizes the soul as earth child.


Peace

I love how this haiku really makes you shine through as a survivor, maybe tired and frightened, but still standing tall as your foundation crumbles.

I like the fighting spirit in this.

Dearest Laura~
I have never attempted haiku before, but I must say you penned this so well my dear friend. May the heavy burdens be lifted from your beautiful loving heart and may you conquer all that tries to keep you down. You're a born fighter. Spread your wings and fly high my sweet friend I know you can do it. I have the utmost faith in you~
faith, hope & determination always~
love, hugs and prayers,
sue m

A thousand word essay in seventeen syllables. My standard in "rating" haiku. Whether read with imagination or clairvoyance, the whole essay is there. Nice job, Laura.

i hope you don't mind another comment from me. i've read several of your poems and my ability is nowhere near yours, but i can appreciate your writing and how it creates such vivid images in my mind. i see this poem as being optimistic - i hope it is.
