Broken Bridge 1 and 2 - Haiku

Broken Bridge 1 And 2 – Haiku


     Broken Bridge 1

suspension bridge breaks
jungle covers snapped, collapse
people disappear

     Broken Bridge 2

too much suspense, tons
rope gives way, bridge breaks in two 
girl trips, bonnet falls

Hi Vassilis, Thank you. I appreciate it. With haiku, as you know, you have to tell a large story some times with so few words. This story was screaming to be a novel but I had to tame it and trim it down to a few lines here and a few lines there. Have a pleasant afternoon. Take care. Earl
