About This Poem

Be a Flame




Burning candle
tells a tale of
pure selfless life


Be such a flame
let your aim be
to tame darkness.

    Kash, I used an oldie and added another haiku to it. I wonder if she will like it. Had to think up a second haiku quickly because I noticed her contest was ready to close!!!

    Hash, this is the kind of poem I really like, you can understand it first time but it hits you hard enough to make you re-read instantly, well done...David
