abandoned building
I sit on the lawn
picking a flower

sitting alone
staring back in the window
at myself

In this haiku I really love the imagery that is in this one. I feel like I am watching a mother in an old farm house dancing to her late husband’s song while the children are playing. I find this inspirational because a lot of people go through this pain and never know how to handle it. I think this haiku can really change that feeling by reading this and examine the message behind it. Danial

In this haiku I see a young man purchasing two of his favorite brands. For his generation having these things are a statement of where he is in life. I think it was kind of funny how he was able to get these items but they some how broke. The irony of this haiku I think is brilliant. Daniel

empty nest
she sadly breathes
a sigh of relief
father of six
preparing dinner now
for himself
empty nest
she sadly breathes
a sigh of relief
I'm only relaxed when driving
instead of four
there's one

This haiku I find very touching. For me I see a women who just took her son to school in her house thinking and wondering. She had this child for 18 years and now he is off to the next chapter. I find this very beautiful and the way the imagery is position you are able to look at this haiku in different lights. This is one of my favorites because of how diverse this haiku is and how others can interpret it. Daniel
