(The prompt was actually difficult. I had to focus on each step as a baby. If I analysed the mechanics of walking now, I'd probably trip. Instead of making a boring laundry list of reasons, I followed the poets mantra,"When in doubt--haiku")
Gasp
I need not defend
Every breath or feeling released
Words are the soul's gasp
Awesome haiku! It's exactly how I feel every time somone asks me "but what is it about?" If you have to ask, you won't understand. Good job.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely. I love the line 'words are the soul's gasp'. That is so incredibly powerful!! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeletePerfect. Yes, why should we defend what we love?
