Very vivid images here, Jack! Really enjoyed this! And I read your comments, I will make sure to remind you next year- we can still go beyond Earth hour and do our own part like using less plastic bags, planting trees, etc :) I hope your hand is doing better-- I read your blog and I suppose the bandages are gone by now :) Will continue praying for your hand! :D

Wow this IS a good Haiku Jack! I thoroughly enjoyed this write that I have read this evening! I really liked the juxtaposition, "the string snaps" which brings the poem to a definite close! Shows awesome talent my friend! Great Work!!

this is fun and sad Jack.. it is a perfect Haiku full of vision and emotion.. good luck luv.. are u doing OK preparing for 30th..??

I LOVE this modern haiku, Jack! Those blasted strings always snapped when I tried flying a kite. Then you'd look at the trees above and see a kite cemetery. LOL Best wishes in Gwen's contest! Love, Carolyn

I think it is a great Haiku Jack, I could see and feel that string snap, best of luck in the contest, Debbie has helped me alot also, so I know what you mean.
