I walked carefully across the old wooden bridge. Across the fetid stagnant pool and considered decaying dreams. This haiku took me on a journey, very nice~Delice

Thank you, Eve. Pictures manage to draw us into whatever mood they desire...and we give in to their bidding! All the best. // paul

A powerful write dear friend . . . how often dreams fuel hopes and desires to slowly decay . . . becoming a wasteland of despair! 7

We appear to be on the same wavelength regarding this one, David! I think that age and experience have something to do with it:) Thank you for a welcome visit. // paul

Speaks of youth. Or it speaks of old age, mood, and many another human woe. For me this makes for a great haiku. Love, dave

Paul Callus
Date: 5/27/2015 4:51:00 PM

In my case it speaks more of old age!! The years are fast going by, and so are many dreams that that never became reality. All the best. // paul

Pandita Sietesantos

In my estimation, Paul, this is truly a magnificent haiku espressing the deep emotions that many of us feel from time to time when our dreams are unrealized. I love it so it's a "7" from me! Ever, Pandita.

Paul Callus
Date: 5/27/2015 4:37:00 PM

Thank you for the insightful comments, Pandita. I am so pleased that you found this haiku to your liking...and the 7 rating is quite a boost:) // paul
