Destiny

Grass seed 'neath concrete
Bursts through beckoning pathways,
Where was meant to be.

Great Haiku on multiple levels! The sense of freedom and expression of nature laid over the "so where does that leave us...?" question. Congrats on a well-deserved win!

Great writing!! I realize that destiny and fate are synonyms. but destiny is, in my mind, profoundly positive where fate presents a negative overtone. I realize the syllable count would not qualify this as a haiku, but would not the entire tone of the poetic theme change from positive to negative by switching from destiny to fate. You really nailed this one..... Love ya ... Jake.

I never thought of it that way, but I agree.. Thanks my friend.. Hugs. Arlene..
