Thats truly an addiction, Dalloway! living life on the edge is fun, if one knows how to...i think life has taught me only that lesson, properly...and I'm often called an 'eccentric' for that...
whats irritating is..when people come and say "Be safe," "take care" etc :))
but ofcourse I am believer, that I should say...and firmly believes all is for the good -- if not for me, for someone I love so much :)
I just rambled off my thoughts...now figuring out the relevance :))
I feel more than one inference here, Em. Some folks live on the edge, others wish to share misery, then some wish to have the courage to let go... Ever have those falling dreams, and then you begin to fly? Of course, naked is even better...
I love everything about it. I suppose if one is going to be fussy, it's not a hokku in the classic sense of the word, but it's a haiku. I love the font, the layout and the picture.
I like the use of the word "need" but find that the photograph contains my own interpretation of the words too much. Doesn't impact the quality of the verse: just clips my own imagination a smidge more than I like.
Im really touched by all your comments - a little blown away actually...
Devika, eccentric is a compliment
Yes, I have flying dreams too, Bandit, though I usually manage to keep my clothes on... If I see you in one of those dreams, I'll be sure to keep my eyes above the waist ;)
J. Andrew, Im having trouble getting on to your site of late... is it me?
Julie, I carry a camera around with me as often as I can but that does mean I fall into the trap of photographing the scene that inspires the haiku.. I'll see what I can do.
I know that feeling, I love that picture. So: a great haiga.

Unusually edgy.
ReplyDeleteMaking up for the surreal, flippant and sacarine ones of late, Harps...

ReplyDeleteIt require courage to turn away, but also to let go, while you do it either way you live.

to let go
