Daver Austin Poet Haiku

From the Mountain Top

FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP – four Haiku

from the mountain top
checkerboard to spreading seas
i standing alone

from the mountain top
what the great winged eagle sees
so solitary

from the mountain top
my every thought soaring
a dizzying height

at last I descend
join the passing parade
know nothing    decided

Joe Maverick June 21, 2011 at 2:21 PM I find a humble..or perhaps more origianlly an umble message in this Daver, i am happy to have picked this to read..!

Carolyn Devonshire June 19, 2011 at 10:56 AM Isn't that the way it goes, Daver. We take time to be alone and ponder life, but often return (descend) with no decisions made. Insightful statement on human behavior. Have a blessed Fathers Day, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
