Sotto Poet Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

Gold and Sand Grain

*gold fusion

syllable-based; 5-3-5

Faint, sparkling crystals
Gold rings melt
for the sun to steal


 Extolling the merits of specific metals. Yet, many buyers seek advice from a jewelry salesperson during buying decision process and leave with little relevant insight.

~~~~~~~~~

**sand grain

word-based; 3-5-3.

Delicious soft sand 
Akin to the sugar sweetness 
my feet clinging

~~
Verses of great poet William Blake:

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wildflower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
and eternity in an hour.

Tom Cunningham October 17, 2021 at 1:36 AM Well written Lasaad, these should place well, took a dive for the worst, thought I was on the mend but spent most of the week in bed, im on antibiotics now and feel better for it. Hope you're well. Tom Sotto Poet October 17, 2021 at 6:25 AM Thank you so much for your insightful comment. I hope you feel better soon. After antibiotics courses of almost a month, I start feeling well. Take good care of yourself my friend. My best wishes to you.

Victor Buhagiar October 16, 2021 at 10:23 PM Three beautiful haikus, much to be admired. Sotto Poet October 17, 2021 at 6:26 AM Thanks Victor but the contest is just 2 Haikus.

Susan Ashley October 16, 2021 at 5:02 PM Dear Lasaad, I admire the vivid imagery in your mixed pair of poems. Both are beautiful and distinct yet fit together wonderfully. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you, my friend.. ~Susan

Andrea Dietrich October 16, 2021 at 3:57 PM these are very lovely. I am curious if it was necessary for the contest to include a famous poem on the bottom like you did. It's a great poem anyway, by William Blake!! Sotto Poet October 16, 2021 at 4:02 PM Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Andrea; I didn't think it was necessary to add the famous poet; it just fits with the Haiku theme.
