one deep breath haiku: viewpoints


I remember when
boys looked through holes in fences
to watch the ball game

one curious eye
peers through the hole in the wall
to see what's hidden

to enjoy a bird's eye view
I unfold my cramped wings
and let myself fly

A wonderful series of a simple hole Meagan. That last one was magic.

I was always a scaredy cat when it came to looking thorugh holes in fences! But I love these haiku- especially the last one...

I remember those days, too. That old fence is neat. Good haiku.

Meagan,
Your hauku open up that hidden world of pleasant childhood memories.

This is really great! And I especially love the last lines -- "to enjoy a bird's eye view/I unfold my cramped wings/and let myself fly." This is so beautiful.

the first two made me smile and I love the sentiment of the last one!
